Not sure where to go next.
More Industry? I've replaced Iron Mines with Scrap Iron from Ruins. I could make Iron Ingots into Gears, and/or Engines, for building steam powered Machines (chain saws, saw mills, horseless carriages to replace hand-carts, etc)
I'm thinking research breakthroughs to be "Random"

Something up with my Builder code. They seem to forget about some Foundations, if they have delivered some Materials, but not all. The Foundations know that they still need Goods, but it doesn't get taken.
I need to take a good look at the Logic

I had ideas about Research: Tech cannot improve without trying it out!
If you invent "Better Bridges", you cannot invent "Even Better Bridges" until you have built a Better Bridge.
No Inventing "Spinning Jenny 2.0" until "Jenny 1" has been used in anger.
Inventions spring from the trial-and-error of actually making things!

Now that the basics are working*, I need to reskin it to have more of an Early Industrial Revolution/Model Town feel.
Some of the Research will be advancing the general Tech (steam power for everything!), but I need to decide the Starting Point, and what Buildings to include.

*sort of...

Now that Godot 4.7 is out please please merge and add this [1] to 4.8. Pretty please!

This would add rename refactoring to the gdscript editor. That is the only reason why I use an external editor at the moment.

Can Godot do "newspaper columns"?
I have a list of Items to display (Inventory Dictionary), and would like it to be in a column. But when it gets to the bottom of the column, move to next column.
I don't know in advance how many, or what entries, will be in the list.

Any suggestions?

Trying to reconnect my Build buttons
I was looking at using the built-in Button signals to call functions in the UI script, and then have that script send a signal to the Event Bus for Observers to react to (actually do the Build)
But is Chained Signals like this a good plan? A Code Smell? A brilliant new idea?
How else do I get the button to talk to the Build script?

Starting to rewrite the UI code, make it into Components rather than 1 big Scene.
All my Signals fell off, function calls broke, show/hide code stopped working...
I'll try to write it better this time! :)
