The Lumbermill devlog is back! Since last time I've created an all new item system for the game, in preparation for loads of new factory additions (including new machines) over the coming months. I've also added a key new bit of UI called the ID Tool. All that and more in this Unity Indie Factory Builder game devlog!

➤ Description

It's been a while, but despite quite a major health setback just after the last devlog came out, I've tried to get as much done on the game as possible. I'm preparing to add a load of new features to the factory builder side of things, as it's been way too long and I think there's plenty of room for improvement. The first part of that is implementing a new item system. Items now have properties that can be modified by machines, and I've also added the ID Tool - a UI tooltip that gives context information about any item in the forest that you hover over. It feels good to be making devlogs again, and to be back to work in Unity on Lumbermill!
