Some minor bug fixes
Setting up farms and mines will accumulate resources daily
A lot of potential here! Cool civ game. A brief tutorial or just some instructions would help. I was trying to farm, but I never gained any food. I tried to board the ship and I could not. I also was confused about how to get more villagers. It was still a good time and I'm curious to see where it goes with the new features.
Thanks for the feedback and the support @Huwans. I just published an update to the cart. Setting up farms and mines should now automatically harvest ore/food. There is still a lot of functionality that needs to be fleshed out. There is not much "game" yet and it is more of a demo. Expect more updates over the next few weeks.
