We’ve just rolled out a new update to Boundless, bringing the usual wave of fixes and improvements, alongside a new feature which we think you’ll really like - the Shop Scanner.
Found within the Knowledge, two new tabs called ‘Buy From’ and ‘Sell To’ will display the plinths offering the best value for any given item on the current World. The Shop Scanner will make sourcing specific items far smoother and faster, with knock-on effects to Crafting, Building, and every other aspect of life in Boundless.
The Knowledge will display the amount for sale, the current price, the distance to the shop, and how many patrons the shop served this week. Citizens can mark a specific shop as their destination directly from the Knowledge, sending them on their way to trade whatever they need. Use the number of recent patrons to determine if the shop is worth a visit. Still looking for those elusive Power Coils? Need a particular type of Metal to complete your Build? The Shop Scanner has you covered!
As always, we’ll have detailed patch notes shortly, which I’ll link to here once they’re live.
And here’s Jiivita with the video rundown!
Happy trading folks - enjoy your shiny new shop scanner!
Im looking forwards to helping out the patronless! Spread my purchases across some of the lesser known shops… I think this will be great for the economy and helping out ‘local businesses’ so to speak
Finally on top of some leaderboards for once in my life!
This is great, really! Like I said in the other thread, this totally changed my plans with my stores, encouraged me to expand rather than cut back - my original idea was to offer cheap stuff to help out the newcomers in particular, and now they’ll be able to find it much more easily.
Edit: Ok, have to share this - took like ten minutes to get my first visitor coming in and complimenting me! I think I’m gonna like this! I didn’t think I could be more addicted but I think I will be, keeping my stands even more stocked.
And this waaaaaas Semptember’s fools! Oh wait its not funny? Ah umm aah ok ok. Hahaha still appreciate the devs efforts <3. Things happen and its all part of it.
