Coming to Transformation Tycoon: Transform-o-biles, postpone random events
🕑 Added 2023-03-16 20:57:25 +0000 UTCIt's been some time since our last new Transformation Tycoon, so we thought we may share a bit of what we're currently working on: Transform-o-biles!
Transform-o-biles allow you to dispatch employees straight to a client site where they will be charged with operating new transformation chambers built into a truckbed. These jobs are known as transform-o-bile missions and can take several hours to days to drive to, perform the work, and then return back to the clinic.
Employees that undertake these missions need to be well rounded and need to be level 3 or better in at least three skills: Research and Technology, Public Relations, and Accounting.
Since missions take multiple days, you will have to pay an up-front cost for fuel, the employee's meals, and their lodging. Additionally, when the employee returns home, they will take the next several days off to rest, which overrides their default scheduling. Employees will also gain a large amount of experience in this three skills listed above upon returning from their mission. Employees with high Research and Technology can perform transformations more quickly and with better results, and employees with strong Public Relations can collect tips. While on a mission, however, employees do not provide the clinic any of their usual bonuses.
Your clinic's location determines how many transform-o-biles you can keep at a time. Generally transform-o-biles will be a mid to late game feature as they require a lot of crystals, time, and experienced employees, but they can also generate massive profits.
A few missions will also generate short news articles about what happened at the client site and how the transformees and their friends and family enjoyed their time (or not).
A mission is generated once per week at the start of Sunday morning. Your clinic's fame level, as well as the total skill of your employees in the Public Relations role, generate additional missions.
We have also added a new feature that allows players to postpone some random events up to 8 hours. Typically random events that can be postponed are non-urgent events with the aim of providing the player the opportunity to take out a loan if they need quick cash, finish up an existing transformation to free up a chamber, or wait until the refill of transformation crystals have been delivered in the morning.
Random events can only be postponed one time and will launch automatically after the specified number of hours have elapsed, or if the player decides to deal with it sooner by clicking on the yellow triangular notice symbol near the top-right of the game view.
Additionally, some random events have requirements and effects that scale to the number of employees or the clinic's current location tier, which means events like Skill Seminar costs a certain amount multiplied by the number of your staff instead of a fixed flat rate.
