Community Discussions Podcast | Power Management (Ep 1)

Today, we had our first community discussion podcast over on our Discord server. This is an opportunity for the community to voice their ideas and feedback on specific topics, each and every week!

This week, we deep dived into Power Management. Watch the podcast below!


Podcast Timestamps

You can find a list of timestamps in the YouTube video description for quicker navigation. I recommend skipping the intro if you've already read the "Power Rework" post. (CLICK HERE TO SKIP)

The first section of the video is dedicated to talking about local power networks, and how it may or may not fit Vectorio. The second half dives deeper into the power rework and what the goals of it are, and how it's meant to strategize the gameplay of Vectorio more than it's current implementation does.

Power Rework Post

If you aren't aware of the proposed upcoming changes, I recommend taking a look at this post. The video only touches on a brief summary of it, but this post goes deeper into the goals with the power rework.
