"Tuwas gegen Mudas" - Patch Notes
Features
Machines
• A Leasing System has been added for the machines. Leasing for a machine lasts for 30 days. When the lease expires, you can decide whether to extend the lease or end it. If the lease expires, a Muda spawns to draw attention to it. If you choose to end the lease, the machine disappears, and a new one can be leased. Orders assigned to the machine are reset to the queue upon lease termination and cannot be processed by the machine anymore. The leasing can only be terminated when the machine is repaired and not processing any orders. If you exceed the lease, you must make an additional payment upon termination.
Orders
• The negotiation system has been completely reworked. You receive requests from random companies once a day, which you can either calculate or reject. When calculating, you can determine the invoice amount using a slider. A red or green stamp guarantees the company's acceptance of the offer. An orange stamp indicates uncertainty. If the company doesn't accept the offer, they send a counteroffer that can be accepted or rejected. If accepted, the company sends a confirmation. A response from a company to an offer is received after a certain period. Delays in completing an order result in a penalty on the order, and in the worst case, reputation loss with the company.
• An order can be assigned to a machine slot by dragging the pallet to a suitable machine or assigning the order to a machine on the scheduling board. A new order can only be assigned to the machine that was selected for the first task during calculation.
Scheduling Board
• The functionality of the infoBoard has been completely revamped. Objects are no longer automatically placed in a suitable spot; they are placed where you want, as long as the object can be placed there. Tasks can be moved afterward if possible and if the task is not being processed. If an object can't be placed in the desired location, it will be highlighted, and you'll receive appropriate feedback. Machines where the object can be placed are also highlighted. If an object's placement is delayed due to a broken machine or the end of a machine's lease, all affected tasks are moved back by one time unit. Task dependencies are indicated by arrows.
UI
• The overview menu of a machine has been completely overhauled. You now see machine information (status, pallet count, repair costs, production speed, wear), leasing details (monthly leasing rate, contract end, delay days, end payment), and information about the currently processed order (order, due date, progress).
• Game time can now be manipulated using buttons.
• When purchasing a machine in the machine shop, you can now see deployment costs, monthly leasing costs, and production speed of a machine.
• The Requests & Orders view has been completely reworked. There are tabs for requests, responses, and accepted orders. All views are presented as emails. In the requests view, you see customer request information, including the product, quantity, and delivery date. When calculating a request, you see order details, associated costs, calculated time in hours, and the offer you're submitting. The likelihood of offer acceptance is indicated by the stamp color. While making an offer, you can allocate machines for the order. Costs and time change accordingly. The responses section shows orders that can be accepted and counteroffers. In the counteroffer view, you see your offer and the customer's counteroffer. The color of the stamp (red, orange, or green) depends on whether it's a lucrative counteroffer. In the view of an accepted order, you see order details and the invoice amount minus potential penalties, showing the profit from the order.
• Updated the tooltip for pallets and added a tooltip for tasks in the infoBoard. The tooltip provides information about the order and the specific task.
• Added animations for receiving or deducting money.
• Added feedback messages for the start and end of work.
• Revised the settings.
Tuwas/Mudas
• Mudas now spawn only during daylight hours when a machine isn't processing an order. Mudas head to workstations at the start of the work shift to highlight waste. At the end of the work shift, Mudas leave their workstations and go off duty.
• Tuwas spawn at machines when an order is being processed.
• A Muda spawns when a machine breaks down.
