Hello everyone, there is a new update for Supply Chain Tycoon! 

In this update there are some new systems and other systems that are expanded. I will tell you about the changes in more detail below, but before I do that, I want to let you know that I am also more active on Discord now! Every day I post a little bit about what I have done that day, it’s called “no zero days”. So there you can follow all the progress and let me know what you think of the game. I hope to see you there soon! 

TLDR: Cool new update, download now! 

Then on to the changes. One of the most visible changes is that there are more buildings, and some of the existing buildings have been updated to fit the visual style better. The new buildings are part of a few new production chains that I have added to the game. 

These new chains are:

• Bottled Water
• Bottled Milk
• Apple Juice
• Cheese Cake 

These new chains brought me to another idea, “Chain Tasks”. These tasks have the goal of teaching you how a chain works by unlocking the tasks in the order the production goes. I have replaced the “Contract Tasks” (times tasks) with these chain tasks, because that wasn’t the way I wanted contracts to work. So the contracts will be back, but in another form. 

A new system I have added to the game is licenses. Before you now can transport goods, you will have to purchase/unlock the required license. The thing I like about this system, is that you now have to work your way to transporting goods. You can’t just transport everything to everywhere anymore, but you have to earn it. Which is a nice way to build up your company, I think.

Below is a diagram with the licenses that are currently in the game (a license is based on the end product of the chain), and how they are linked to each other, it is like a tech-tree. 

The last thing I want to talk about is the email system. This is more of a comfort thing for myself. But I have made the email system more flexible, by reading the emails from a file (they were all hard-coded before). This way I can easily change them if needed, and if I want to put different languages in the game in the future, it is also easier to translate everything. 

I hope that you like this update and that you will let me know what you think of it on Facebook or on the Discord server!
