A Small Update on the Factory Default Launch

We were looking forward to welcoming everyone into Factory Default today, but we’ve encountered a slight hiccup in the publishing process. Unfortunately, this means the game won’t be launching into Early Access today as originally planned.

Everything is ready on our side, and we’re just as eager as you are to see players start building their first industries, connecting global supply chains, and discovering just how far their companies can grow.

We’re working through the final steps and will keep you informed as soon as we have an update to share.

Thank you for your patience, your support, and for sticking with us. The factories will be running soon! 🏭🌍
