Each challenge has a unique goal and each has three levels to achieve, Expert, Champion and Legendary, the last of which will require the smartest and most efficient colonies to complete!
• NEW Storage Yard Behaviour - storage yards now creates 'demand' in the same way as other buildings. These demands are visible and can be moved in the resource demands panel, again like demand types. The 'weight' of a storage demand is based on the fill percentage of the resource at the storage yard. For example, say you have a lumberjack hut and two storages yards ('A' and 'B') and 'A' has a rule for 5 Logs and 'B' for 10 Logs. The first Log will go to 'B' (wherever it is located), the second Log to 'A', the third to 'B', the fourth to 'B', the fifth to 'A' etc. So in summary, the weight for each storage destination is determined by 1: fill percentage 2: total potential storage 3: distance. This new behaviour gives you a more even and controllable distribution of resources to various storage yards around your colony.
