Working on my indie game "Prospect & Build".
A mix of Satisfactory, Planet Crafter and Star Wars Galaxies.
I'm what you would call: a "NERD".
I love series, movies, videogames, computers, programing, streaming...

Today I managed to finish the logic for the building system. I can now build foundations/floors, walls and so on. Grid snapping and snapping works.
I wish I had more assets to use, rn it's just fast-made objects in the ue5 modeling tool.

Testing my "super good looking hover plank".
I also tested it on landscape and it works.
Which means I'm done with coding, now I've got to work on the looks.

No, I'm not dead and the project isn't either.
There's just nothing new to report. I work on improving and fixing the systems I already have before moving on, so I don't get overwhelmed later on.
This is the way!

- optimized some processes
- learned some new stuff for animations (jumping looks worse now but made sliding better, still learning)

- Fixed Splitters & Mergers (still a few visual bugs though)
- Added a recycling machine like the one in "Planet Crafter"
Input an item and you get the components back.
For example a Steel Ingot would give you 3 Iron Ore and 3 Coal back.

Here a small video showcasing the results.
Icons and Meshes of course subject to change as they are "borrowed" from Satisfactory for testing purposes

Barren land with resources under the surface having to be mined. I never liked the process of picking up resources from the ground, besides maybe sticks and stones which aren't available here :)

• player starts with finite amount of resources
• resources can be replenished by terraforming
• resources have "quality" (good resources = better results)
