Right, an update. New 0.5 version is here with some major core changes, most of which are not visible or that exciting.

Warning: This update will definitely break old saves and deleting old save folder is required.

MAJOR CORE UPDATE

Some core game and engine stuff was changed. Not as much as I'd like, but it's something. New camera system, changes to world simulation, faster overall vehicle speed, faster fast-forward simulation, performance improvements, etc.

Cool new main menu was also added, signalling possible future UI redesign.

INDUSTRY UPDATE

Biggest changes are with industry system, bringing 7 new cargos, 15 new industries and some more changes to existing industry chains.

NEW CARGO

• Oilseed

• Edible Oil

• Petroleum Products

• Silicon

• Synthetic Rubber

• Carbon Black

• Tires

• Electronic Components

NEW INDUSTRIES

• Oilseed Farm

• Oilseed Processing Plant

• Silicon Smelter

• Semiconductor Plant

• Cosmetics Factory

• Synthetic Rubber Plant

• Carbon Black Plant

• Tire Manufacturing Plant

• Tire Shop

• New Food Processing Variants

  • Canning Plant

  • Candy Factory

  • Snack Factory

  • Meat Packaging Plant

  • Food Processing Plant

  • Dairy Plant

Small changes to petrochemical and electronics industry chains. Oil Refinery now produces Petroleum Products, Solar Panel Factory uses Silicon instead of sand, Car Assembly Plant now requires tires and Electronics were changed to Electronic Components and Electronics Factory now produces Cargo.

Several new Food Processing Plant variants were added, so each food-related cargo has at least 2 possible industry uses.

City-cargo setup has also changed, with each commercial building now accepting its own cargo, rather than just entire city accepting any cargo. Right now most buildings still accept cargo or food, but the plan is for each commercial building to accept different kinds of cargo. Restaurant accepting food, hardware store accepting tools, pharmacy accepting... you get the idea.

This was done to give more types of cargo utility as a city delivery and also to give more utility to small trucks, which were kind of useless.

Final industry changes should be coming in the new few weeks.
