Food Processing Simulator · published · build 22378077
Hi everyone, 😄
Thank you very much for your continued support and feedback. Before we get into this week’s update, we also want to share that Food Processing Simulator is 20% off during the Steam Spring Sale, and the discount will run for one week. If you have friends or creators who have been waiting for a good time to jump in, this is a great chance to grab the game at a special price.
This week’s update adds a few quality of life improvements that help prepare the game for the upcoming Factory Expansion. Since it is a holiday week on our side, this patch is smaller than usual, but the good news is that the expansion has now entered the testing phase, so please stay tuned for upcoming devlogs.
Based on community requests and to better support larger factory layouts, we developed new conveyor variants that make building long routes much easier:
Straight Conveyor 3x1
A straight conveyor with a 3 meter length, designed for longer runs with fewer pieces.
Straight Conveyor 5x1
A straight conveyor with a 5 meter length, ideal for covering long distances efficiently.
Overhead Straight Conveyor 5x1
An overhead straight conveyor with a 5 meter length, built for longer elevated routes while keeping walkable space underneath.
These new conveyors are meant to help you build cleaner layouts and reduce the need to chain many short conveyor pieces.
We updated the Starter Machine with several new features based on community feedback:
Stop Button (On/Off Control)
Starter Machines now have a Stop button so you can toggle them on and off more directly.
Front-Facing Production Limit Display
A new Production Limit screen has been added to the front side of the Starter Machine, making the information easier to see without needing to check only the side view.
Any Commodities Focus Option
Starter Machines can now be set to focus on Any Commodities. This allows you to build pipelines where a Filter Machine controls input rules, while the Starter Machine accepts any valid incoming items.
As always, thank you again for all your feedback and suggestions. We are still tracking everything and prioritizing updates based on feasibility and impact, while continuing optimization work in parallel.
And as mentioned earlier, Factory Building Expansion is on the way. It has now entered the testing phase, and once it is ready and stable for release, we will share full details in an upcoming devlog.
If you encounter any issues, please report them through the in-game Bug Report Menu and/or the Steam Discussions so we can investigate quickly.
See you in the next update! 🥗🚚
