It's always good to have a plan.

Dual rails. There's some seams and cracks, but I'm sure we can fix those. That said, isn't that period-accurate? 😉

Steps towards the final track rendering happening now. This is more-or-less how the track will look in planning mode, before you start to build it. I need to work out a better visual look for the control nodes still.

What a terrible name for a dog.

First pass at the lowest tier of locomotive's graphics, a little unnamed 0-2-0. Period-accurate and based on a real locomotive, these things were tiny workhorses - but not designed with elegance in mind.

I've no idea who would have made a handcart back then. I suspect I may have to do some research at *some* point

Dropped objects can now have bespoke graphics. I also now have enough planks to make a handcart, and we all know Handcarts are made out of 4 planks and nothing else

No clever references intended, but procgen absolutely does not care. #screenshotsaturday

TIME TO GO GET SOME TIMBER AND TEST THIS OUT!

I'm avoiding the art task of unique buildings for now, but I'll get the Sawmill (Timber -> Planks) done. Timber Yard is a way to purchase pre-felled Timber, for people rich in money but lacking time.

My next step is the ability to turn 'timber' into useful products. First object a player will want to make on a new run is a handcart, so they can carry more than 1 item.

That looks marginally less terrible. I'm not happy to sign it off yet, but we're cataloging the *process* here yo

Pre-placed sleeper rendering using GPU rendering. It's interesting to see how it looks when you're too far away for the incidental detail.

Looks great that does

Per-area specific rules for spawning ground clutter. This will eventually tie into the biome/tiering system, but for now it's making the... let's call it a grove... look less sparse.

My forest looks a little bare.
