Re: Factory
In this section of patch notes, we answer the questions from the community that were submitted via the in-game feedback form and/or seemed especially interesting to us.
Q: "My first language is spanish, sorry for bad grammar. In Spanish version, the translate for "close" windows is wrong. Close has two meaning. To shut down something "CLOSE the door" and to say something is near "That was CLOSE". In spanish version its translate with second one. its translated as "cerca" that means near. The correct one is "cerrar".You are doing a great job with the game. Keep it up " -GoEzTa
A: That has been fixed, thank you! Please remember that if you want to help us with community translation to your native language, our Discord server is the place to go!
A friendly reminder: don't forget about our collection of items in Steam Points Shop! Sergei the artist makes wonderful factory art to be observed from above, but his works' magic really shows at close-up perspective:
