comments for Settlement Idle [concept]

Looks neat, but it badly needs instructions. It's unclear what productivity does, for instance. The system of claim costs doubling until being reset by a new settlement makes it feel optimal to grind out the full range of claims before resettling, but that's unfun.

Might be good to say its a proof of concept in the title. Seems like it has potential though. Might want to make it so you can see more tiles at a time though

This prototype looks promising. The system of claim costs doubling until reset certainly needs a rework. Also currently if I don't reserve enough gold for a new settlement I could end up with a softlock, it also needs a fix.

no gameplay, just a couple of base mechanics...

good concept needs development

It took me way too long to figure out the following:
-sand produces food and gives gold
-sand is the only way to get gold
-grass only produces food, but it produces 2
-you can only settle or claim squares adjacent to ones you've already settled or claimed
-forest produces food and gives productivity, but costs gold
-mountain gives 2 productivity, but requires 2 gold
-you cannot expand to other islands without a dock
-docks cost productivity

Pretty sure that's stuff you should be able to do in a minute, but it took me coming back here multiple times to figure out.
Tip: start out on sand

At the moment it is too easy to get locked out of any progress (needing gold, and not having it).

Also, my first start gave me an all water screen, not a good idea.

A good game, but not much, if any, content

there's no game
in this game

I managed to get 8 settlements and a crap ton of claimed land prob could of gotten further but I didn’t want to grind much

also, I cannot figure out how to read the mesages on console. Can you please provide a "do this, then do this" set of instructions? Using Chromium.

lower rating than my games? impossible

i keep having a spawn with little - no land. can u fix?

An updated list of info:

forest: gives 1 food, 1 productivity (costs 1 gold + food)
grass: gives 2 food (costs food)
sand: gives 1 food, one gold (costs food) - allows docks
ocean: gives 2 gold (costs 1 gold + food)- requires a nearby dock
mountain: gives 1 gold, 3 productivity (costs 2 gold + food)
docks cost gold and productivity (doubles each time) and can only be built on sand
settlements cost gold only, can be built on claimed or unclaimed land, and buying resets food requirements
the buttons on docks and settlements don't work
advice: start on grass with sand nearby and work your way from there.

Disregard my previous comment.

wow nice game
