The third update in Turmoils Early Access life is called Hotkeys and Pie Charts. Quite a boring title, as it should have been called: the-update-that-makes-playing-Turmoil-much-easier-and-much-more-freaking-fun! But that just didn’t sound quite right.
The biggest changes improve usability in a huge way: hotkeys and post-game reporting. Hotkeys speak for themselves. From now on players will be able to place buildings, wagons and search tools. With a tap of the finger and a subtle click, you will play turmoil with much more ease than before. More details below, but we’ll spoil one for you here: press and hold the arrows above and below the Inc’s to quickly assign lots of wagons.
Secondly reporting. We’ve had detailed reporting in the game since forever. But now the reporting is more polished than ever and enhanced quite a bit. After the each game you will find the Graphs, your Earning, Spendings and an end of game Screenshot. Please note that the Earnings also include an average sell price per Inc. And the Spendings are neatly organized in a Pie Chart! We have a bloody Pie Chart in our game now. How cool is that?! Here's a quick preview:
