Hi everyone, 😄

Thank you very much for all the feedback, reports, and suggestions you’ve been sharing. We are still reading and collecting everything, and many of your requests are helping us decide what should be improved first, especially when it comes to reducing repetitive steps and making day-to-day factory operations smoother.

Our approach remains the same: we will keep iterating and delivering improvements step by step, while prioritizing changes that are feasible to ship and have a meaningful impact for most players. Some ideas need more planning time because they touch multiple systems at once, but we will continue to move forward incrementally and share progress through devlogs as usual.

This update is focused on one big request we’ve seen repeatedly: adding more automation to purchasing supplies so you don’t need to repeat the same buying workflow every day.

Supply Drop Areas can now be upgraded to manage daily recurring purchases for any supply type, including commodities, packaging, and labels.

a. Updated Supply Drop Area visuals
The Supply Drop Area now has a clearer, more proper drop space. After upgrading, it will also display a monitor that you can interact with to configure daily supply settings.

b. Upgradeable at Tier 20The Supply Drop Area upgrade becomes available at Tier 20, unlocking the Daily Supply management feature.

c. New Daily Supply Settings UIA new UI screen has been added for Daily Supply configuration, with a layout designed to feel familiar and consistent with the tablet style UI.

d. Per-building Daily Supply configurationDaily Supply settings are configured per Factory Supply Drop Area. This means you can set:

• Factory Building 1 daily supplies, and

• Factory Building 2 daily supplies (only if you have unlocked Factory Building 2).
  If Factory Building 2 is not unlocked yet, only Supply Drop Area 1 can be configured.

e. Temporary changes with confirmation and ApplyThis UI uses a temporary state system. If you change settings and close the monitor (X or ESC), a confirmation prompt will appear to discard changes and revert to the previously saved configuration. Use Apply to confirm and save.

Once applied, daily purchases will be processed automatically at day change, whether you end the day normally or use Force End Day.

1. Updated the Cold Storage Rack Employee Settings information to clarify that the Box Fill rule is also followed by employees when deciding which boxes should be stored.

Based on player feedback, we decided to temporarily postpone the detailed idle reason text that was introduced previously. While the extra detail could be useful, it also caused employees to spend time displaying and waiting on text, which made their work feel slower overall.

For now, we reverted the idle display back to a simpler state (without showing the reason). However, the wording has been adjusted so it is not only the plain word “Idle”.

Thank you again for your continued support and for helping shape the game through your feedback and suggestions. We will keep prioritizing improvements based on feasibility and impact, and continue pushing updates step by step as we validate each change.

If you encounter any issues or unexpected behavior, please report them through the in-game Bug Report Menu and/or the Steam Discussions, so we can investigate with your details and logs.

See you in the next update! 🥗🚚

Hi everyone, 😄

Thank you very much for your continued support since the 1.0 launch. This is our first update after the full release, and it focuses on several quality of life improvements and system refinements to make the overall experience smoother and easier to manage.

We also want to mention optimization. Some performance improvements have been implemented in this update, but the impact may not feel significant in every situation. We are still actively working on additional optimization solutions, so that even when your factory becomes fully packed with machines, items, and employees, the game can continue running smoothly.

This update focuses on improving day-to-day organization and clarity, especially around storage management, Vendor Truck planning, and employee behavior. We also added several new utility machines to support elevated layouts and make advanced routing easier.

Based on community feedback, we noticed a common frustration: after deliveries, leftover items can sometimes be returned to racks as non-full boxes, which can disrupt the organization players have already set up.

To solve this, Cold Storage Racks now support a new rule setting that lets you decide how each rack should be filled:

• Full Box Only: only full boxes are allowed

• Partial Only: only partial boxes are allowed

• Any: both full and partial boxes are allowed

This gives you more control over storage discipline and lets you define different rack purposes (for example, clean full-stock racks vs. partial box collection racks).

We made several updates to the product demand system for Vendor Truck sales locations to make planning feel more predictable and less frustrating.

• Demand rotation is no longer always dailyEach sales location now has its own demand cycle, and demand will change every 2 or 3 days depending on the location. When the timer ends, the demand list will rotate.

  

• Potential Products previewEach sales location now shows potential products that can appear in its demand pool. This allows you to prepare products ahead of time if you want to plan for future rotations.

  

Updated: This updates is halted and reverted back to before only appearing idle, because the current solution make the employee working slower. (v1.0.25)

When an employee becomes idle, the game will now display the reason why above their head.

This helps players understand why an employee is not working even though tasks are enabled in the priority list, and makes it easier to identify missing requirements such as unavailable items, missing access, blocked paths, or incompatible settings.

We added several new utility machines designed specifically to support elevated pipeline builds:

• Elevated Merge MachineLets you merge lines in elevated layouts, making it easier to combine overhead routing setups.

• Elevated Rotary Machine
  An elevated version of the Rotary Machine to support multi-output routing on raised conveyor systems.

• Elevated Filter Machine
  An elevated version of the Filter Machine so filtering can be done directly in overhead lines without forcing the flow back down.

These additions should make advanced elevated layouts cleaner and reduce the need for extra vertical transitions.

1. Employee Task UI InformationAdded clearer job descriptions for each employee task. This information appears directly inside the Task Priority view, so you can quickly understand what each task does and how it affects behavior.

2. Tutorial List UpdatedThe Tutorial menu has been updated to include newer content, so players can revisit explanations for recently added systems.

   

3. Better UX for Level-Up Tutorial PopupsImproved the behavior of tutorial popups shown after leveling up. The popup can no longer be instantly closed while you are still at the first index. Instead, it will move through the tutorial pages first, and only close on the final page, helping ensure players do not accidentally skip important information.

1. North Gate Culling IssueFixed an issue near the North Gate where occlusion culling could trigger incorrectly and cause parts of the environment to disappear visually.

2. Cannot Fire EmployeeFixed issue where employee cannot be fired after version 1.0.20.

Once again, thank you very much for your feedback and support. We are still tracking everything and prioritizing improvements based on feasibility and impact as we continue refining the game after 1.0.

If you encounter any issues after updating to this version, please report them through the in-game Bug Report Menu and/or the Steam Discussions so we can investigate quickly.

See you in the next update! 🥗🚚
