Hey DJs—Unwise here with a big update to the Future Vibe Check alpha demo! We're thrilled to roll this out just in time for Automation Fest kicking off today (July 14th). This patch is all about making music-building more intuitive and shareable.
1. Community Save Sharing – Share Your Vibes!
Ever built a Vibe so epic you wanted the world to hear it? Now you can! Players can upload and share up to 3 of their Creative Mode saves directly with the community.
How it works: Head to the load menu, select your Creative Mode masterpiece, and hit "Share." Others can browse, download, and remix your setups in their own games.
Pro tip: Shared saves include all your procedural music tweaks, so the vibe travels intact.
2. Visual Crafting Loop – See Your Music Come Alive!
Core mode just got an upgrade with a revamped crafting system. Less inventory management and more visual building —now you see your music items materialize in real-time connected to music theory.
Visual Crafting: Your music items morph in real-time as you progress.
Capacity: Reworked to support slot based models for less factory jam ups.
Time = Beats Extraction: Your new starting point! This entry-level machine provides basic music items to help get something started early.
Note: Old Core Mode Saves will not be compatible with the latest update.
3. Quality-of-Life Bonanza – Faster Flows!
We've packed in tons of player-requested tweaks to reduce friction. From initial feedback, we targeted UX hurdles head-on:
Hold-to-Place Belt Paths: Drag and hold for seamless conveyor chains, including T-junction splits. No more click-fest for long runs!
Mass Delete & Multiselect: Shift-click to select groups of nodes to modify their values at once. Shift+right click to mass delete. Rework entire sections in seconds.
Tooltip Cleanup: Smarter, non-obtrusive pop-ups that dock + fade intelligently.
Factory Placement Hotkeys: Quick hotkeys for your favorite machines. Get that APM up!
Quick Wire Connection Hotkeys: Shift + E to auto-wire nodes
Save Game Renaming: Finally! Customize your save names for easy organization—no more "Save_001" mysteries.
What's Next? Festival Vibes and Beyond!
This update sets the stage for Automation Fest and a few other festivals we are grateful to be part of coming up. Jump in, share your saves, and let's flood the world with fresh beats!
Much more coming soon from QOL (blueprints), music making (Midi support), better tutorials, and refined economy balancing.
Huge thanks to everyone who's played, wishlisted, and chatted in Discord. Your feedback fuels the fire. If you haven't yet, please drop a review for the demo! It helps a lot!
Keep those progressions progressing ✌️🎶
