FluxWerks v0.5.19 - 06-10-2026
New Features
- Work Order Priority - Your nanobots now take the nearest work first. Switch Priority to List order at the top of the Work Orders panel (N key) to have them follow the list instead.
Improvements
- Work Orders - A marked area now shows one outline and the blocks being worked. Hover its order in the Work Orders panel to see every block left.
- Building Overlays - Buildings now show their power and computing priority above them when it is not the default. Switch it off in Settings under Building Overlays.
- Volcanoes - A volcano with something you built near it now erupts on schedule while you are away.
- Tutorial - The Materials Bar is now on screen from the start, and the ore mining step introduces Area Mine and the Work Orders panel.
- Build Cards - Wind Turbines and Solar Panels now show their average output through the weather, next to their peak.
- Maintenance - While placing a building that wears, the Maintenance box now shows the repair packs it will use per hour at that spot.
