Alchemist Assembly

This looks like an ambitious entry - to put all the mechanics and controls in there within the jam duration is a cool achievement though. It took me a bit to understand how the rails work, for the rest, the ingame tutorial helped a lot. The ingame graphics looks cool, only the resource hex surface seems to be a bit buggy to me and the ui was a bit rough sometimes. Definitely an interesting take on the delivery theme, well done!

After deleting the target building, the routing of the output building will be preserved and some strange phenomena will occur。

No way you made it in 3 days! This is a really fantastic achievement. As for the graphics, I like that it looks minimalistic, but still got the style.

This was a really nice, well put together game! It honestly seems like it's a full game instead of just a jam submission. I loved the hexagon style that the game has, it reminds me of old board games. The only thing I would suggest is showing what colored hexagons give you what resources, it asked me to make a mushroom farm and I spent a good 4 minutes looking for where I could place it down at. Other than that this is a really nice submission! Keep up the good work!

This is very impressive to make in just 3 days! The best logistics game I've seen so far. I would suggest adding some QOL features (escape to exit menus), but other than that it was great to play. Well done!

Thanks a ton for the feedback everyone! :heart:

@congeesetador Thanks for the feedback. We've thought about that as well but didn't have time. Since we had so many people that didn't know at all how to play we released a small update with more info including the resource information via an icon.
And we also added the escape to exit menus suggested by @chucks-feed-and-seed

lovely game, I like this kind of management games, interesting idea, good entry!

Hexagons are the Bestagons!

I like the graphics and the idea is interesting! I did create a lot of clutter unintentionally though ^^' maybe a "confirm" button at least for buildings would be nice, and I couldn't rotate the rails when they were already placed :( But I like the atmosphere and idea of the game ^^

@kanity Thanks! :D I see, I'd personally prefer the way it is now since I don't like having to confirm something like this, but it could definitely be a toggle option.
The way the rails work was kind of intentional though, since every kart driving its route will *magically* change the rail tile in front of it to match its driving path.
So manually adjusting them is not required. (although I concede that it looks very messy until a kart drives through, so a post-placement rotation function would be a good idea anyways)

Thanks for the Feedback!

Super cool game, I love the mechanics. It was a little bit difficult to get started because the colors kind of defied my expectations about what color water would be and how to set up an extractor. Once I figured it out I enjoyed thoroughly, excellent job especially in such a short time.

Hey, we had such similar interpretations of the theme, wow! Our games look different, but they play almost the same.

I was a little confused at first as to how the railways work, since I thought I had to rotate pieces to make them fit the inputs/outputs properly. Worked fine after I figured out the routes though :) I also had an issue where the mouse cursor doesn't quite highlight exactly the hex you're hovering over - though our game also has that issue. Hex grids are complicated...

Very nice entry. I love the little details like the tiles bouncing when you place something on them.

@binaryspark yeah I also found it really fun to see such a similar take on the idea when a friend linked me your game.

Glad you could figure out the routing. I think we really botched the whole explanation side, and it got quite unintuitive. But always something to learn for next time!

Yeah I had the computational problem with the hexgrid positions as well, but I did go for a workaround with raycasts that circumvented that mathproblem. But it turns out that our cursor icon that we put in last second is not centered correctly, and I didn't notice that until just now... :sweat_smile: The cursor is accurate, at least in theory.

I definitely share your pain with the hex grid calculations. Which is why it made seeing another hexgrid game even more enjoyable :D

I like how building all the different extractors from the user input perspective is the same but the type of building is determined by the resource you place it on. It keeps user input simple.

Rails pathfinding needs to be smarter to automaticaly walk around buildings.

Some hexes at the bottom of the screen gets cutoff i dont see reason for that.
