LOGistICAL 3: Earth brings more FREE content with China, Nepal, Mongolia, Hong Kong, Saint Helena, Martinique, New Caledonia, Vanuatu + more
There are also a bunch of other new area accesses. Check the game contracts.



Note: New content for LOGistICAL 3: Earth will always be FREE.

Besides the new content to play there are also lots of new updates including new features.

You can now download the "player heatmap" (bottom of the map filters) (see top image).
This gives a graphical indication of the quantity of players that have completed each town and mailbox. Red is a few. Yellow is many.



If you turn on the Player Heatmap and your Completed Places, your Completed Places will be hidden. This gives you an indication of what you haven't done but other players have.
If you are feeling lost, use this view and follow the brightest yellow.

Martinique in the Caribbean is now the new starting place for LOGistICAL 3: Earth.
This is a small, less daunting learning area with fewer towns, businesses and industries.
I hope we can find many new players that don't run off scared at the overwhelming task ahead.
You can complete all towns and businesses (minus the port, airport and airfield) with the local industries.
The end final contract places you in New Zealand to continue the game.
Current players will get a new truck within Martinique to complete the island.



Some industries with special properties are now tagged
- "U". Unique industry, generally specific to the region in which it is placed. Cannot be built elsewhere.
- "R". Restricted industries. Limited world locations. Cannot be built by the player.



Some towns have resource requirements that are near impossible to complete (see the "Shenzhen Consumption" contract).
By completing other towns within the same region (China), you will slowly reduce the consumption rate of these towns, making them easier to complete.
Select a consumption rate that you feel you can complete the town.

In China, the consumption rate is reduce by 1% per "completed town", with a minimum of 5%.

If, for example, you feel you can complete a town with 6,000 t resource requirement, then you should reduce the rate to match that value
(eg. Shenzhen requires 28,800 t. therefore 6,000 / 28,800 = 0.21 or 21%).

The end sequence when completing towns/businesses/roads has been optimised to remove the annoying pause.

- Downloads from the server, so takes a few seconds (see log - bottom right of screen)

LOGistICAL 3: Earth brings more FREE content with The Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg.

As promised I will continue to grow LOGistICAL: Earth with FREE updates and new content.

Only a small amount of new content this time allowing everyone time to discover the huge amount already available.

- Norfolk Island, Australia
- Jeju Island, South Korea
- Chatham Islands, New Zealand
- Japan Rail
- South Korea Rail

To gain access to these new islands you will need to have made your way throughout lots of Europe and into Thailand. You will also need some Ocean Floaties.

Lots up updates for this build. Many small interface changes and also a few subtle changes to the LOGistICAL engine.

Clicking the vehicle's icon will now select only the vehicle without recentering the map.
To recenter the map on the vehicle, double click the vehicles icon.

There have been occurrences of roadworks not being selectable once newly discovered. This has been fixed.
Pins on roadworks will now disappear once all the roadworks for that node have been completed.

Players have been racing the trucks and have not been impressed with costly 2x trucks being beaten by some ordinary ones. This has been due to maximum road speeds.
These have now been slightly adjusted.

30% max road increase for purchased 2x trucks (this is not the 2x, 4x, 6x boosts)
50% max rail increase for trains
150% max airways increase for planes.

A few new contracts have been created to help you through various complex areas.
Other contracts give help to the LOGistICAL game play.

New faster code to render the map when you drag vehicles.
Added some better detection code for where you drag, for both empty and full vehicles.

It takes a while to get planes in LOGistICAL: Earth. A few snuck out early but they need pilots. Well done to those that have already made it there.
Once you get them you can fly to the Airports in every country.
To fly to airfields you need to first create an industry at the airfield. Use your trucks and trains for that.
Jumbo planes can't fly to airfields. They are just too big.
As you complete each resource line at an Airport/Airfield you can create a Single Storage at the Airport/Airfield of that resource type.
Complete three resource lines and the Airport/Airfield will create a road for trucks, if they don't already exist.
Complete all resource lines (ie the entire Airport/Airfield) to get more choices of Single Stores.

The onboard GPS computers in the planes still need an update to cross the International Date Line correctly. That should happen soon.

You can now change the maps in the settings.
Click the checkbox to turn the satellite images on/off.
The slider will move between the various vector map styles. At this stage there are only two.

Pins now appear in the cluster's town list (to the left of the town name).
Towns in the cluster list that have a pin, now appear at the top of the list.
Roadworks with pins will have the pins removed once the roadworks is complete.

The list of towns that appear on a cluster's mouse over has been increased to 15.
The number of additional towns at the bottom of a cluster mouse over does not include unfound towns.
There are some clusters which have "+" signs still showing. The plus sign indicates there is something not found within the area.
I have found there are still a few "+" signs showing where they shouldn't. I will be fixing those soon.

---

That's the list for this week. Lots more coming soon.
Enjoy,
Sacada.
