Hello Everybody,
we are so happy how the launch of 0.7 went and that it got received well!
Our Discord is the most alive it has ever been and we are getting significantly more feedback than in the beta phase. So if we haven't answered you yet, rest assured, we are reading & acting on everything 🙌
This is a hotfix to take care of urgent issues. There will be another update soon that improves gameplay, guiding and UI and will have a high impact on how the game flows start to finish. So keep a look out for that one!
Changes:
- Fixed an issue where users got a black screen after working with blueprints --> If you still get the issue report it on our Discord (or make a new post in the Discussions)
- Fixed lots of small issues, e.g. hotkeys work better now (and are not perfect yet, we need to refactor how we handle keys to make it really clean)
- Performance -> We found more performance gains. Large factories should be more stable now. We tested factories up to 10k parcels (!) on a MacBook Pro M2+ and it was still _somewhat_ playable (~60 FPS with heavy frame drops and short term freezes, but still, the factory kept running). --> I'd say 1k should work for everyone, and 2-5k should work on most good machines and still be playable. --> Try to see how far you can get and post it on discord :)
Good to Know
- Drone Blueprints are still functionally buggy in this version. Just FYI, this will be fully fixed soon
- If your drone tasks / min are too fast, that can impact the performance. So if you are wondering why the game is lagging after pasting --> maybe reduce the speed a bit
- If you have issues with a hotkey, opening a parcel and then pressing "ESC" often solves the issue. Alternativley, tab in and out of the window can help as well.
- If you generally have issues, a restart often solves them. (But make sure to still report them, we want to fix all of them)
P.S.
Here are just a few factories that players have built so far:
