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.

We have received bug reeports from the players Nameless and el stefano but the text of their messages got lost due to technical issues. If you're reading this and the bug(s) in question is still there, kindly send us a report again.

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:
