There is a massive thread on this here:http://steamcommunity.com/app/254200/discussions/0/412446292767390072/, but I'll clear up a few of the confusions we have going on about this!
'T4' is the lazy way of saying 'Tier 4', which is the lazy way of saying "Any machine made available to the player after purchasing the Frozen Factory Expansion Pack". This is a ton of machines designed to catapult the player into the Cold Cavern and to make the Orbital Energy Transmitter look like a baby's toy, featuring a completely NEW Tower Defence mechanic, new resource trees and just bloody loads of stuff. It's great!
The Frozen Factory Expansion Pack should be available TO EVERYONE at the end of this month, assuming nothing goes wrong. :pcrace:
If you are a Patreon of the game, you get early access to this expansion pack; this was done for a whole bunch of reasons:
- I don't have much else to offer :(
- If I gave this out as part of the mainline build and then hid it away when it got released, everyone would get annoyed at me
- If I did work out a way to give it to all the Bleeding Edge crew, I would be completely flooded with bug reports - restricting it to a few hundred Patrons means that the bug reports I get tend to be more detailed and much less common!
BUT!
Patrons do not get any special or unique machines or recipes in the game - they just get it in an early and sometimes very broken state!
If you have questions, confusion or annoyances, then you can email me, hit me up on twitter, post on the forum, skype me, use the discord... people seem to be using the Review section to tell me they're unhappy about things and, really, I only check there about once every 3 weeks - even commenting here is better!
