why just refine oil is mush efficent than make microchip?
refine oil chain just need three machine (import 1, refine 1, exporter 1)
but micorchip need 10 (importer 4, refine 2, furnace 2, assemble 1, export 1 )
and value is just double.
add space effeicent, two oil refine line is mush effcint than microchip.
When I try to change my factory from, lets say a motor to a micro chip, the furnaces stop producing things, the conveyors stop the materials from moving and a few other things brake, In essence the game stops working, I tried everything to try to fix it and as a last resort I refresh the page but that resets all my progress. when will you fix this or add a save feature?
Can you clarify when exactly the problem happened, did it occur when you changed the recipe in the assembler, or during the whole process of rebuilding your factory line?
A massive update with new features and bug fixes is coming very soon! I cannot guarantee saving will be a feature in this update, but if not, it will be coming directly after
It happened when I changed the recipe.
Fun game, plans on adding conveyer routers / splitters?
Yes, sorters, tunnels and more are planned to be adde
How will i be able to place more then the limit for structers?
Its getting me very stuck
So turns out that you unlock the upgrade after upgrading for a bit. Its not the clearest that it happens
how do i make things
How do I get the Assembler? A way to see how to unlock things would be helpful. (edit just read the notes, it will not be added till next update)
Super fun concept. The optimization of layout is always my favourite thing about this game anyways.
Advised QOL addition for the future is a reference book where you can check recipes and things. It's easy to forget which machine makes which thing.
Very good suggestion, added to the list!
This game is super fun. I look forward to the future updates!
looks super neat!
I think the question-mark icon on recipes is very misleading. I thought it meant that the question-mark symbolized an item that I have not yet unlocked/found, which is why I tried to unlock other things first and skipped that part of the game for some while. I think it would be much clearer to simply remove the sprite.
Just pushed an update to address the issue, thank you for the feedback!
Unfortunately you aren't able to save your progress which is quite problematic for an idle game. Besides that however, the game is quite fun.
Yeah, I didn't want to implement saving until the core of the game is feature complete, but its coming soon I promise!
I missing how to unlock assembler. (Checked any tabs, and unlock everything else)
Unfortunately the assembler hasn't been implemented into the game yet, thank you for playing though!
Factory Idle Gameplay
Thank you so much for the gameplay footage, its super helpful in diagnosing issues!
Hi, your game has a lot of potencial. I'm waiting for an update :)
Thank you for the info! I'll have to review the footage you posted to see what could be going wrong as I was sure some of those bugs were fixed!
Expect updates frequently, this game is going to be under constant development!
Hello again! Do you mind explaining more details regarding the progress bar not working on the refiner? Did it stop mid way, did it function at all, etc.? I also was curious what specifically you mean by "scrolling with mouse wheel is very slow" as its programmed to move 90 degrees for every tick of the mouse wheel, so it may be that your mouse wheel is tight?
