Community28 Aug 2026Development Update - August 2026Greetings Golems We have been working hard on 1.0 and we're making some great progress. Today I want to share with you what I (Jasson) worked on last month. Overall, I think that AutoForge (currently as of 0.7), performs quite well even with larger factories, but I fully admit that it begins to struggle in the late game with some frame rate loss. This performance drop is largely due to all of t…
Yet another very small patch! These issues were brought to my attention yesterday and I wanted to get a patch out with it before moving back to the next major update for the time being. Changes · Resolved issue with some UI interactions not always working correctly on the client such as setting item filters · Resolved issue with splitter output disabling/enabling not working fully on clients
Small patch to fix the regression in v0.7.40 that caused power networks to fail. They should be fixed now when you load up the game and not require any work on your end such as tearing down power relays. I apologize for this issue and thank you for your patience as I worked on getting it fixed.
We've been focused on the next major update for awhile now but I'm still trying to get some patches in since it will be awhile before the next major update is released. Speaking of which, details on this update will be coming out in just a few days so keep an eye out for it! Changes · Resolved crash on clients that could occur when attempting to sync an entity state · Resolved crash that could…
Smaller patch but with some tasty bug fixes in it. Thank you to everyone that helped get these issues fixed up. I am going to try to continue to do more patches over the next few weeks but at the same time we are also working on the next major update. We'll have some juicy news on that in a few weeks! Changes · Resolved an instance of an issue where the player could no longer interact with item…
This is a smaller patch with a few more fixes for both crashes and multiplayer. I will continue to work on fixes but also as things are slowing down I'll start looking at our next major update. More news on that in a few weeks! Changes · Resolved crash that could occur when interacting with the phase network · Resolved crash due to client potentially being removed twice · Resolved issue with cl…
Another day of of bug fixes is here! This one brings in some really needed fixes. Thank you everyone for your patience as we get these fixed - especially to those that have continued to report issues. I will be continuing to fix issues so please keep reporting them! Changes · Prevent the game from accidentally deleting the entire save directory · Resolved issue with list of known items not show…
Another patch is here with several more bug fixes! As always, thank you everyone that has been helping by reporting bugs. If you are running into any issues then please share them along with logs (both host and client if it is multiplayer). Discord is the best place since then we can chat real time and more easily share files but Steam forums work as well. I am going to be continuing to work on…

Greetings fellow Golems! James and I have been working hard to wrap up Shared Workload and are nearly there - so close in fact that we considered releasing it this week. We decided that a little more time in the oven would be best given how anticipated this multiplayer update is before we push it to the main branch. In the meantime, we wanted to go over the finer details about what's being adde…
The long wait is just about over - AutoForge’s next update, Shared Workload, is now live on the public experimental branch!

Season's Greetings, Golems! We hope you're all heading into a restful and cozy holiday season. We thought we'd drop off a few tidings along with some more info for 0.7 - Shared Workload , so bundle up next to a cozy Forge and grab a preferred beverage... Multiplayer Progress We've been hard at work on Multiplayer and are pleased to inform you we've entered the internal testing phase! After an a…
Greetings Golems! It's been a while since we last touched base! While we've had our heads down working on the next Major Update, we thought it was important to check in and let you all know how things are progressing. That's right, 0.7 - Shared Workload is on the way! Somebody asked if it had fell out of the transport tube on its way to the server, but rest assured, through computational bugs a…

Here is a fairly substantial patch! I unfortunately had a big family camping trip planned this last week so these fixes were delayed a little but I've made some great progress on resolving issues the last few days. This patch as well as 0.6.11 are now on the default branch. Please let me know if you encounter any issues and I will continue to fix them. There are still a few a few more that I'm…
I've continued to work hard on resolving issues in 0.6 and have yet another patch. This one is a bit bigger and consequently I want to put it into experimental to be safe. Thank you to everyone that has reported issues! Changes · Resolved crash when using UI with a gamepad and doing specific actions · Resolved crash when attempting to load data for really old/corrupted files · Resolved issue wi…
Surprise! Another small patch to fix a fairly major issue. Monster invasions strength was incorrectly being calculated which resulted in them being magnitudes stronger than they should be. Any existing monster waves will be wiped out on load and future waves will be significantly weaker. Apologies to those that got completely owned by these juiced up invaders. You are not bad at the game - we j…
Yet another small patch to address a pressing issue related to saves. Thank you to those helping out with reporting these issues and for your patience as I resolve them. I am continuing to investigate a few crashes that some players are encountering as well as fixing a few other issues. If you do encounter an issue then please report it either on the Steam Forums or over on our Discord. Changes…
After some effort, we have resolved this nasty crash that could occur after creating a new world and then saving . Huge apologies to everyone that ran into this and lost their progress. We really try to release stable builds but this one slipped through the cracks in our haste to get this update out for the Automation Festival. Thank you to those that reported this issue and to my friend Wacko…
We are currently investigating a new crash that occurs when saving the game. This is not consistent and so far it appears to only happen after creating a new world. When creating a new world please try saving your game right away! This patch adds some verbose logging to aid us in debugging this. If you have any information on how to reproduce this then please share with us! We are working on th…
The Wilds are ready to be explored! We're excited to announce that AutoForge's next Major Update, Forgotten Wilds , is now officially released!

Despite this, we've managed to pack in a great deal of content into this update. Let's explore what you'll find in it…

Our next major update, Forgotten Wilds , is not too far off but I wanted to release one last patch for 0.5. I have fixed a few critical issues that have been plaguing players and I did not want them have to wait any longer than they have had to. I am putting this on experimental to give it a little time to cook and will release it fully within the next few days. Thank you to everyone that has r…
