Don't worry, though, we're not done with uFactory yet! We'll be squashing bugs and working on balance the next couple weeks, then we'll start bringing in new content and features that everybody's been waiting for, like electricity generation, machine mod chips, workshop mod support, trains, boats, and planes, and so so much more.
