Field note 14 / The scenic route /

A farm, a sawmill and a very bad road.

One route needs a river crossing. The other takes Bonita up a cliff to a telescope. Sensible planning all round.

Unity Play Mode view of moving log bundles between the farm and sawmill
Actual Unity Play Mode capture of the first farm and sawmill assembly. The logs move; the delivery does not exist yet.

I started turning two corners of the island into places where a delivery might actually go wrong.

Montagna Verde now has a farmhouse, yard and sawmill on opposite sides of the river. Nine log bundles move between the banks. I can already imagine the delivery where Rusty decides that's close enough to a bridge.

The farm and sawmill are saved in the Unity island, but the monkeys, chickens, cargo and actual delivery jobs are still missing. Even the hillside track needs a proper drive in Bonita before I trust it.

Early Unity observatory assembly on a mountain terrace
Actual Unity capture of the observatory's first assembly, before the later road and cliff polish was visually rechecked.

Up above the reservoir, I also put together the first observatory: a cream tower, a teal dome and a cliff road that appears to have taken a personal dislike to safe driving. The early rockfall test got three rocks across the road. That is an experiment, not a finished challenge.

Both locations need dressing and playtesting. For now, they give me places worth driving to. Whether Bonita agrees remains to be seen.
