Update 1.0.1 adds more sales inputs and logistics upgrades, improves conveyor placement and reduces stutters in busy factories. It also fixes several input, loading and display issues.
Logistics upgrades
- Multi-Input Sales: Two new upgrades add intake branches on both sides of the original sales conveyor, allowing up to three simultaneous inputs.
- Efficient Joining and Efficient Splitting: Three upgrade levels each increase transfer speed in the relevant logistics devices.
Building and connections
- Start from either end: Select an existing conveyor's IN port first and place the other end farther away, or start at the far end and connect back. Flow direction follows the selected ports, with matching preview arrows.
- Conveyor endpoint height: Fixed either free endpoint sometimes landing at ground level when placing standard or enclosed conveyors.
- Placement previews: Fixed overlapping platform and flat-roof previews, and improved nearby port guides.
Performance and responsiveness
- Busy factories: Reduced repeated device and cargo updates, and optimized conveyor operation, drone planning and aiming checks.
- Connection previews and removal: Reduced stutters while moving the crosshair to find a second endpoint and while removing connected equipment.
Logistics fixes
- Scanners: Packaged cargo can now be processed behind a small amount of loose sand waiting for a full batch. Mixed-input capacity calculations have also been corrected.
- Splitters: An available outlet can keep working when the other is blocked, and transport resumes when an outlet becomes available again.
- Digging arms: Drop targets no longer take over existing conveyor connections.
- Truck loading: Fixed eligible cargo resting near the edge of a truck deck not counting toward an order.
Controls and display
- Research workshop: Press Tab again to close the research page.
- Background production: The factory keeps running when you switch to another window. Manual pause still works.
- Natural gold: Improved its visibility inside scanner drawers.
- Sales audio: Sounds now follow the sale's position and distance.
- Window resolution: Standard resolutions are now clearly distinguished from custom window sizes.
- Recipe information: Clarified the Composite Sand Disc Press recipe and its sand-brick requirements.
Note for existing saves
The endpoint-height fix applies to newly placed conveyors. Existing segments already built at an incorrect ground-level height need to be rebuilt. The update will not automatically move your current production lines.
