Node Farm - v1.8 - Copy/Paste/Blueprints + Storage improvements!

10 Jan

Hello Node Farmers!

This time something smaller but still interesting!
Update v1.8 introduces copy/cut/paste/blueprints functionality and more tweaks on how the storage works! More info below:

Changes

New: Copy/Cut/Paste added - as before, you can select nodes but now also - use CTRL+C to copy them (or CTRL+X to cut) and CTRL+V to paste. You can see the price of nodes that you want to paste - you can do this only if you can afford it.
New: Blueprints/schematics - there is a new view where you can save your copied nodes layout (cross save) and paste them later in the game or in other runs. Blueprints are also copied to the system clipboard (if available) and can be shared between other players as a serialized, compressed, encrypted, and encoded string! An example below.
Improvement: storages are now sending resources to the closest requester based also on other storages. No more storage racing like the one mentioned in the previous update. They still send resources if far away and closer storage has no resources (as it is an expected behavior).
Improvement: a mention in the wiki about resource transport - all resources are pushed by the producer nodes, not pulled by consumer nodes. It was not clear before.

Example of the text to copy-paste into the game in the blueprints view (you can use CTRL+C/CTRL+V there too):

Gathering feedback - UI/UX/QoL

EDIT: Thank you all for your feedback! I finished a lot of updates/improvements/new features thanks to you! The game is much better now :) I am leaving this thread to gather even more and fill my backlog for the next updates. Thank you! ORIGINAL: Hello! I created this post to gather feedback for Node Farm UI/UX/QoL issues. Do you lack some QoL features? Maybe some copy-paste? Rotating selection? Do some of them work differently than they should? Do you find some UI elements bad/hard t...

Node Farm - v1.7 - A lot of new things based on your feedback!

6 Jan

Hello Node Farmers!

The first update this year is live - v1.7!
This time I focused more on QoL improvements, addressing feedback and game balance adjustments.

Let's take a look at the changelog:

Major changes

New: priority roads added - they are used to control the priority of the paths chosen by transports. The produced resource finds all available consumers, groups them by priority, and tries the highest one first. If not possible - it tries another priority group etc. Sounds complicated but I think it is rather intuitive. Markets have "-1" priority by default so it will sell resources only if they are not needed anywhere else with higher priority (can be configured on click).
Change: Resources/dishes are sold even if they are not on the price list. They have their lowest price in that case (the lowest you can select in the price switch).
Change: instant chests - I removed all previous algorithms for chest optimization and just made them try to send resources instantly. As a result, they are sending resources before the production nodes, so they are more useful as a buffer. I've seen that in some specific farm layouts, they can still race with other storages, but it may be not the case in most of the cases. (fixed in v1.8 - now there are no issues)
New: throughput meter node - a new node that counts resources that go through it and can trigger a signal based on the thresholds you configure.
Improvement: multiselect improvements - now you can hold CTRL+SHIFT for more advanced multi node selection. You can start on other nodes; the selection is not resetting, so you can select nodes in different places with a few mouse drags; you can deselect selected nodes if you try to select them again - it works like in other similar tools. Additionally, the selection is not automatically removed after placement.
New: bonus islands - you can buy an additional island when the boss island is on the map. On each meta progression page, you can increase a bonus island value (max 6 for now). Useful if you are stuck with no more space or required island type to finish a boss.

Minor changes

New: autoconnection can be enabled/disabled in the settings.
Improvement: The grid/islands/nodes are more aligned now. Small nodes are smaller to fit the grid. I missed this one before for some reason. As a side effect - small nodes on previous saves may be a few pixels shifted up compared to new nodes. It can be fixed manually by disabling autoconnection and CTRL+LMB click all small nodes on the old farms - just in case you find it annoying.
Change: The one-way road is moved to the "roads" category instead of utility.
Change:The market can be placed on the water - why not?
Change: I rebalanced low dish prices a little (more income)
Change: The "With Filter" option in the price switch is enabled by default now.

A short video showcasing the changes:

In the next updates, I would like to focus on adding copy/paste/cut + blueprints. I made some first checks and it looks like it will be available this week.

Later - I would like to work on a new playing mode - "Big Farm". I am not sure about the name yet, but the idea is to let players build one big farm and unlock progression in the run separately from the metaprogression of the roguelite mode. Something more similar to other factory builders. It will be a totally separate mode and a big change compared to the previous modes.

It will be a little challenging as I will have to optimize and adapt algorithms to support much bigger farms without performance issues, but well - let's eat this elephant bite by bite! Wish me luck! :D

Thank you all for your support and have fun!

Node Farm - v1.6 - QoL update!

30 Dec, 2024

Hello Node Farmers!

A new update is live - v1.6!

Those who are on my Discord server may know that I partly lost vision in one eye this month, which makes development much harder. According to my doctor, I should be fine in a few weeks.

I prepared a few improvements from my backlog (all based on your suggestions - thanks!) that were easy for me enough to make until I fully recovered.

Let's take a look at the changelog:

Changes

Improvement: recipe/resource in nodes config and boss selection can now be selected from the grid layout.
Improvement: Making a connection from the node to the empty space creates a road.
Improvement: nodes in the shop are now more granularly split into new categories - buffs (per type), roads, logic gates/sensors, and crafters. Additionally - the shop is more compact.
Improvement: A few tutorial improvements - kitchen, boiling, and salt are introduced when needed - not after checking a wiki.
Improvement: It is possible to go back to the "save slots" from the "main menu"

A short video showcasing the changes:

It will be the last update this year but don't worry - I am planning something big :D

Thank you all for your support, have fun, and Happy New Year!

Node Farm

Love the game so far but would like to express some thoughts.

The later runs can go on for hours and you will either hit a roadblock of not enough production to defeat the boss or you will get bored of waiting around slowly chipping away at it. When you are feeding the boss you kinda have to focus most of your production on doing so. And when it takes dozens of minutes to defeat the later bosses it kinda slows down. Would like to see more quality of life improvements and would like to see more out of the automation system. The logic system is not that important and...

idea request ? for storage.

that storage would be prioritised ? as it is closer , atm my corn just goes thru my storage that is 50 % to - full and goes from the farm instead of from storage first as it is closer ? so it will take longer to produce item. i dont know, or a prioritise node " take from here first " " edit " as of now i have 14 corn fields witch cant sustain adding dough to boss that requires 80 of them. sure it mite be just me not fully understanding everything but in my mind that should be more then enough hehe...

About Island Modifiers

In game config before starting the map i've enabled island modifers. When I press pause (space) I'll see a list of all modifiers. Does that mean they all sum up and count for the whole map?
