Hi everyone,
After some multiplayers testing last week, I realised that I had not yet added a functionality which I think needed to be in 0.8: The ability to send seed bags between allied players. This has now been remedied.
The sending of seed bags has been added to the economy tab, in the same location as the ability to send coin between allied players. Unlike for coin, there is currently no “physical” component to this, i.e. no villager will walk between the two villages to deliver the bag, and the transfer is instantaneous.
A player needs to first select the destination they want to send the bag to (so which ally - which should be fairly straightforward right now), then the type of seed (only available seeds will show, so those used in fields already won’t be displayed), then the amount. Confirmation is given by clicking the wax seal, in the same way as with the sending of coin.
In addition to this new function, I also cleaned up some of the UI surrounding the sending of coin and materials: When you send coin, the name of the player you are sending the coin to will now be displayed correctly (rather than showing untagged), which should help in particular once it is possible to have more than 1 ally.
I have also switched the sending of materials around slightly: Instead of giving the option to set up a route to every single warehouse of the allied player, you can now only set up a route to the allied player generally, which will target their first/main warehouse. I am intending to switch this up slightly once I introduce transport wagons in 0.9, so you can set up a route to any of your ally’s villages, rather than individual warehouses.
Until next week!
