⮞ Description ⮜
Although Trade was added way back in November 2019, the old system really isn't looking it's best and there was a lot that needed changing. Since the last devlog, I've removed that old system entirely and begun work on it's successor. This is how everything will work:
Trade Offers
Trade offers will come in every so often from companies that wish to work with you. They'll request a certain product, and give you a price for it. You can immediately accept or decline the offer. Or - you can send a counter offer if you think it could be improved. You can adjust the price per unit, send the counter offer - and if all goes to plan, the company will accept.
Reputation
You'll gain trade reputation through succesful trades (e.g. completed on time). You'll lose reputation for failed trades, or trades delivered late. The better your reputation, the better your chances when sending counter offers. Certain companies will also only work with mills that have a threshold of reputation, so you'll work with higher-rep companies the more successful trades you complete.
Trade Collectors & Rails
Collectors will pick up items from the conveyor belts, pack them up, and when all the required items are collected, send them to the dock via rail.
Trading Dock
The dock (not implemented yet) is where trade will be shipped off your island, to your clients. It is therefore a vital part of the trade system!

can’t explain how excited i am for this game
-
I'll be very upset if there's not a trading company called Len's Lumber
-
Company name: Skill Tree (Tree with flexed biceps as a logo)
-
Petition to make Test Co and Test Co logo the official temporary placeholders in the future.
-
“Wishlist Lumbermill on Steam” Karlson: Finally a Worthy opponent. Our Battle will be Legendary!
-
"yes this is comic sons and yeah graphic design is my passion" ahahahhah
-
Quick suggestion: you could expand the trading system by adding a port, where boats would take off with the cargo and you could have a docking building and area :)
-
Company names: Lumberpole (wood trading company) Sydney's Carpentry (carpentry shop - obviously) Nails&Screws (building company) Logmart (furniture and materials shop)
-
Wow. I really like that trading system. The rail sprites also look really good. Exited for the next devlog. :D
-
"Counter" Should probably be renamed to "Negotiate". It's usually a better word when it comes to business.
-
I was half expecting the "Test Co" logo to be a knock-off Tesco logo. 😅
-
This dude is just incredible, I’m out of words, since I understand how really hard it is to make this in Unity...great job man!
-
Company Name: "The Coffin Consortium" (wooden coffin with skeleton as logo)
-
Company name: Tim’s Timber Company
-
Birch Merch, a small company that focuses on small (birch or stripped) wooden trinkets. Possibly a switchblade carving a dove out of wood for the logo.
-
Billy Bros Construction, they buy materials that would be used for construction such as planks. Their logo would be a billy goat with tools around it. Hope this is what you are look for in the suggestions, also I love how this game is looking and can’t wait to play it!
-
I’ve never appreciated the UI and menus till I watch you
-
You could limit the amount of times you can change a value for counter offers, to make it even more like gambling. Just an idea.
-
Company name: Morning Wood Co.
-
Company name: Logazon
