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, You can always contact us directly in the comments or join our Discord server
Q: Please add a filter for Manipulators to take only certain goods out of storage
A: There is one! It is called Selective Manipulator, it is an upgrade for Selective Item Splitter
Q:zeppelin disappear after placing game234
A:Looks like you changed Zeppelins View mode. We improved this behavior, so now you will see zeppelins on the ground even when they are hidden
Q:My dudes, I have no idea how the trade relays are meant to work even after the tutorial. The cat pun guide wants iron in exchange for fertilizer. I put iron in, the counter ticks down, my iron is gone but I have no fertilizer Darkrenown
A:Fertilizer counts as a building, so it is added directly to your buildings panel. We clarified it in the tutorial in this patch
Q:I see graphical artifacts in Learning Factory and While Ture Learn on Linux Darkrenown
A:It looks like new Linux+Unity problem started recently. We can't reproduce it sadly. In this patch we are updating the engine, so hope it will be fixed. In the next month, we will migrate to the new LTS version, so I hope the problem will be gone.
Also don't forget about our collection of items in Steam Points Shop made by our artist Sergey!
