Hey engineers,
We're getting back to our regular few-weeks-per-update schedule. The lists of changes will still be lengthy but incresingly more boring: we've really gotten ourselves to polishing the game, which means an awful lot of smaller changes to be made for almost every aspect of the game.

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.
Q: "My first language is spanish, sorry for bad grammar. In Spanish version, the translate for "close" windows is wrong. Close has two meaning. To shut down something "CLOSE the door" and to say something is near "That was CLOSE". In spanish version its translate with second one. its translated as "cerca" that means near. The correct one is "cerrar".You are doing a great job with the game. Keep it up "
-GoEzTa

Discord server is the place to go!
A friendly reminder: don't forget about our
