Easy Tycoon Engine v2.0.0

Easy Tycoon Engine v2.0.0 is the biggest release since launch. The engine becomes a complete tycoon framework — economy, plot assignment, and model spawning, all built in.

What's new:

• TycoonPlot module — opt-in plot system with auto-assignment. Players join, get assigned a plot, and when they buy an upgrade the matching model clones onto their plot automatically. No more wrapping the engine to get visual feedback.
• Marker-based positioning — drop Parts named after your UpgradeIds inside each plot, and that's where the matching models spawn. Set it up in Studio, no code required.
• Spectator mode — when a server fills up, extra players keep their progress via the API and materialize when a plot opens. Oldest waiter is promoted automatically.
• Rebuild on rejoin — saved upgrade levels rebuild as models the moment a returning player gets their plot.
• Rebirth fade-out — models tween transparency to 1 over 0.5s before destroying, plus a sparkle burst at the plot center.
• Playable factory demo — bundled .rbxl place rebuilt with 8 plots in a 4×2 grid, 8 factory upgrades (Generator → Reactor), owner signs, and income animations (rotating fans, spinning reactor rings, pulsing furnace glow).
• 7 new Config fields for tuning the plot system, with sensible defaults.
• Updated docs — full TycoonPlot API reference, plot setup walkthrough in the configuration guide, new example file, migration guide section for both plot adopters and non-adopters.

Quick start (your own game):

Code:

-- 1. Set up plots in workspace.TycoonPlots/ with marker Parts named after UpgradeIds
-- 2. Drop model templates in ServerStorage.TycoonModels/ named to match
-- 3. In a server script:

local Tycoon = require(game.ServerScriptService.EasyTycoonEngine.Tycoon)
local TycoonPlot = require(game.ServerScriptService.EasyTycoonEngine.TycoonPlot)
Tycoon.Init(nil)
TycoonPlot.Init(Tycoon)

That's it. Buy an upgrade, see a model. Rebirth, see it fade out. Leave and rejoin, your factory comes back.

Already using v1.x?

Drop-in upgrade. Tycoon.lua and PlayerState.lua are byte-identical to v1.2.0 — the economy layer didn't change. If you wired up your own model spawning via Tycoon.OnPurchase, it keeps working. To skip the new plot system entirely, set Config.PlotEnabled = false in your config.

Adopting the plot system?

See the new docs/migration-guide.md for a step-by-step walkthrough, or example/example-plot-spawning.lua for a complete worked example.

Heads up on the default config: sample upgrades changed from Income1/Income2/Speed1 to a factory theme (Generator → Reactor). If you'd been relying on those sample defaults, define your own upgrades in Config.lua after updating (recommended for any real game anyway).

Download from your purchases page. Happy building.

Easy Tycoon Engine v1.2.0 adds two callback signals so you can run custom logic after purchases and rebirths — spawn models, play effects, unlock areas, whatever your game needs.

What's new:

• Tycoon.OnPurchase:Connect(function(player, upgradeId, newLevel) end) — fires after every successful upgrade purchase
• Tycoon.OnRebirth:Connect(function(player, rebirthCount) end) — fires after every successful rebirth
• Demo script now includes a commented example showing how to clone models from ServerStorage on purchase

Example usage:

Code:

Tycoon.OnPurchase:Connect(function(player, upgradeId, newLevel)
    local template = game:GetService("ServerStorage"):FindFirstChild(upgradeId)
    if not template then return end
    local clone = template:Clone()
    clone.Parent = workspace
end)

Drop-in upgrade from v1.1.0 — no migration needed. Existing code is completely unaffected.
