THE LAST WORLD
The first post is a new stage in the development of the studio.
We go out after a long hibernation. We have been hiding our secrets from other eyes for a long time and the time has come when we will reveal all the cards. But everything has its time. The history of the project The Last World will open in portions and will be accompanied by short videos with mechanics or pictures of the gameplay.

The Last World
One of the important stages of development is the generation of planets. Each planet must be unique. At the moment, there are two types of planets - earthy and desolate.
At the moment, random generation of only one planet has been implemented, in the future it is planned to generate a solar system.
Planets are generated in several stages:
- Generation of a sphere - hexagonal or hexasphere;
- Generation of maps - heights, heat and moisture;
- Generation of the final map - based on the three previous ones.

The character modding system or Constructor is one of the main mechanics of The Last World. It allows you to assemble a character from dozens (and maybe more) mechanical parts.
A full-fledged constructor is available from the main menu. In it, you can create a new preset according to the prepared blank, load saves or default presets, and generate a random one.
During the game, the player will have the opportunity to use the constructor from the character’s inventory, but this time it will be limited in functionality. This requires a building - a Workshop.

The generation of unique planets is primarily based on the generation of biomes, the more there are, the more diverse and unique each generated planet is. There are currently 10 biomes. Increasing the number of biomes is a matter of time.
Biomes: Desert, Savanna or Semi-Desert, Tropical Rainforest, Temperate Rainforest, Grassland, Woodland, Seasonal Forest, Boreal Forest, Tundra, and Iceland.
At first glance, some of them look alike, but in reality they are not. There are many differences, both in colors and in vegetation and props. Each biome is unique and beautiful in its own way.

Most of the time, the player interacts with the UI (user interface). And special attention is paid to the character inventory system. Because the character is fully modular, then we need to access all of its modules (inside the project they are called attachments), even outside the constructor system, which was described earlier (see Character Modding System).
The character’s inventory is divided into 3 zones:
- Left zone - character slots;
- Middle zone - character preview window;
- Right zone - character’s backpack slots.
Each zone has a huge functionality, which will be described later, but for now the picture shows the general scheme.

To unlock new game mechanics, buildings and features, you need to go to the Technology Tree. In the Technology Tree, you can open and research new technologies from several branches of development. The branches can intertwine, so to open one technology may require the open of another related technology.
Each technology has its own price. The price includes - special items and the time it takes to research the technology.
A total of 3 technology trees are planned - the main one, the character and the building. At the moment, only the main technology tree has been implemented.

The game implements a dynamic system of changing the day, smoothly flowing from day to night, and vice versa. The length of the day ranges from 20 to 30 minutes (the length of the day may vary), so that the player can observe the change in the time of day several times during one session.
Be careful, in the dark, visibility will be practically zero (not always and not everywhere). Therefore, when assembling a team on an expedition, think carefully about how to equip it.

To create connections between buildings in the game, there is a so-called “Web System”. During the game, the player will need to produce items, mine resources, store, and also need to move them between buildings.
In order not to do this manually, the player can use 3 web elements:
- Electrocity - for the transmission of electricity;
- Conveyor - for transferring “solid” items;
- Pipeline - for the transfer of gases and liquids.
The player will be able to flexibly adjust the bandwidth of each web for a particular building. The more bandwidth, the more power consumption.
At this stage, the system has been simplified; to connect the buildings, you just need to connect them with a line. If the lines are separated from each other, then they are considered to be different internal systems. A system that is not connected to any building will be highlighted.

THE LAST WORLD
As it was written earlier, at the moment the generation of only an earth-like planet has been implemented, therefore the world around it corresponds to this type of planets. In the future, it is planned to diversify the generation of planets.
Vegetation is what the player first encounters after landing on the planet. Fascinating landscapes, light swaying of branches, fallen leaves or thorny trunks of cacti. All this fills the world and makes it lively and rich.
There are 17 types of trees in total, 3-4 per biome. Each type has its own variability so that the trees do not look alike. In addition to the main vegetation, the world is also filled with small vegetation that cannot be interacted with. These include - grass, flowers, small cacti, ferns, etc.
- Bamboo
- Baobab
- Birch
- Bush
- Elephant grass
- Fir
- Oak
- Palm
- Pine (eastern, common, small, panderose)
- Poplar
- Red tree
- Rubber tree
- Saguaro
- Silver Maple
- Sugarcane
- Twisted Acacia
- Willow

Completed the next stage of work on the buildings. This time, all buildings have acquired color, soot, fine detailing, scuffs and fake light sources.
Fake sources are clearly visible at night. When the building does not have electricity, it will be easy to find it at night, when nothing is visible. The nights will be dark!
The next step is to add static lights and particles to buildings.

THE LAST WORLD
One of the features of filling a location is grass. The grass generation is completely procedural. The grass casts a shadow from the luminary, which gives more dynamics to the picture. In addition to all this, the wind force affects the grass and this makes it alive.
Most of the generating of the location is the generating of grass. In the largest location, the number of blades of grass can reach more than 14 million. This applies to wooded or flat areas.
Each biome has its own grass settings. Somewhere the density of the grass will be less, somewhere the color will differ.

After the extraction of oil petroleum or natural gas, they must be processed for further use in production. A cleaning station will help a lot in this. Its operation will require electricity, the resource itself, a little time, as well as free space in a storage building or in a tank.
The clearing station has a built-in tank for temporary storage of the recycled resource. The volume of the tank is not large, so it is necessary to transfer the accumulated resources to more spacious buildings.
After clearing oil petroleum in a station, you can get the following resources - lubrication fluid, solid fuel, rubber, plastic. Natural gas - methane, solid fuel, hydrogen. All these resources are needed to produce more expensive components or use them as fuel.
Name: Liquid or Gas Clearing Station
Class: Cleaning

One of the mechanics in the game will be the factory mechanic. To trade on the Trading floor, the player will have to mine, find, produce, exchange resources.
The player will be able to thoroughly study each item - see its characteristics, description or inspect the model. All this is possible in a special window - Item Inspect Window.
This is the first part of the items that have been added to the game so far. Because the player will have to travel a lot, discover new territories, biomes, places, visit unique structures, the list of items will be impressive. There will be barter items, unique or rare, items that can be sold for high prices, or used.
In addition to common items, the player will also encounter items that he can add to collections for subsequent modifications of his character. As described earlier, all characters will be modular, with the exception of drones. This means that it will be possible to disassemble and assemble any character.
At the moment, there is no final version of the character’s appearance in the game yet. Therefore, the next step will be to add it and two classes of drones - Technical and Worker.

The next stage has come to an end - these are the first skins of the character. The work on the character was one of the most difficult, and there are still several such characters ahead, a few more classes and a ton of various attachments for every color and taste.
As it was mentioned more than once, all characters will be modular, but this does not mean that an attachment from one can compatible with another. All atachments will have their own characteristics and some of them can be produced at the factory and bargained for on the trading floor.
During the game, the player will be able to modify only part of the (non-critical) attachments, for example, replace hands or change the device. To change the rest of the attachments, you will need a special building - the Workshop.
In addition, there are a number of restrictions, here are some of them:
- the character will not be able to use the tools without hands;
- the character will not be able to move without wheels;
- the character will be de-energized without a battery;
- and much more …

The new building class - Support. This class of additional buildings, such as the Water Platform or the Ground Lamp, are required only for specific purposes (for example, lighting a surface).
The Ground Lamp is designed to illuminate a small area of the surface at night. In total, according to the current plan, there will be 3 ground lamps - this is with 4 lamps, 2 and 1. The more lamps, the more power consumption.
A light source is a very expensive function that greatly reduces performance due to a large number of calculations (mainly shadow calculations). Therefore, most light sources will only work at night, automatically turn on and off at dawn.
Name: Ground Lamp
Class: Support

There will be several types of drones in the game, one of them is an automated type of drones.
Automated drones are an extremely useful resource. These little machines can do most of the work for you, such as mining wood or building something. Drones cannot be controlled directly, they only understand a small list of commands hardwired into their memory.
Drones can break or run out of battery, so drones are tied to the building - Drone Technical Station. Maintain your drones on time to avoid losses. Because Automated drones are unmanned units so they don’t have a modding feature.

Hi everyone!
THE LAST WORLD
The game will feature space shuttles. They are designed to transport items from the space station to the player’s base and vice versa.
The migration and time of transportation depends on the weight of the cargo, the more it is, the more time it will take to deliver this cargo to its destination.
Also, from time to time, shuttles will be sent from the space station, which will drop random cargo on the location.

Hi everyone!
THE LAST WORLD
The game will have tools for units (a local equivalent of weapons). Some tools will be able to extract natural material, some will repair buildings. All tools will have a “damage” parameter, so each tool will be able to inflict damage on the enemy, the difference will be only in the numerical value.
All tools will be modular, like units they can be assembled and disassembled. Tool modding will only be available in the game and will not depend on the Workshop being built

This looks like a lot of work in terms of in-game art and models, as well as the crafting system that you describe.
