GearCity 1.18.4 Progress Thread

[Eric.B]

So I have pretty much finished the Factory District system. You can now do every factory action to multiple factories as you can with a single factory. Including managing production.

Currently the production system evenly splits lines between factories. So if you have Factory A- with 4 lines, Factory B with 2 lines, and Factory C with 2 lines and you want to produce 3 lines of a vehicle, each factory will get 1 production line. If you want to produce 5 lines, A will have 2, B will have 2, and C will have 1.

Last night I tried it with a percentage split. (If you set 25% line use, it would use 1 from A, 0 from B and 0 from C. This was a little easier to code, but unpredictable, thus was changed to the existing system.)

I'm going to test it out a little more tonight and clean some things up. Then switch to fixing up the branch features. Finish adding GUI for the new shipping stuff in the Branch system. Then port that to the District system. Finally finish it all up by making a way for you to create your own custom districts. Then 1.18.1 will be ready. We're about 40% of the way there.
