About game:
Small town, upon the river, has big problem. Electricity is very expensive, so most of citizens and factories, switch to oldschool steam heating and powering.And your job is connect your heating plants with all houses and factories, by complex system of pipes, splitters, combiners and switches.
Game was for compo, but I overshot the scope and not finished in given time. But everything expect the 3 days work, is same as for compo, so no free assets, not free music. Everything is 100% created within jam timespan. Thank you for understanding.
TIPS:
- Use pause mode, for building pipes, it will not overhelm you- for perfect control and balancing place one splitter per building and divert how much heat building wants
- Use splitter for branch out specify amount of power which building require and continue with rest into another splitter and branch out to another building. And repeat over again.
- toggle on and off visibility of numbers because it will overhelm you
- toggle on/of visiblity of building, you can clearly see where pipes start and ends
- For multiple same building you can use balancer
- Started TIP. Place splitter near the plant, and another near the buildins. Connect them together, and pass from first one 4 on second also 4 and place 1 balancer near the last one, and connect first sokcet into balancer from that splitter, from balancer into two red houses. Second output of splitter connect into another splitter, and then into directly bulding.
