Wozu Early Access?

„Agromatic is being built by a small team, and it’s a systems-heavy game (automation, workers, logistics, progression) where balancing and quality-of-life changes matter as much as new content. Early Access lets us iterate in the open, prioritize what players actually use, and shape the game with community feedback while we expand the world, content, and long-term progression.“

Wie lange wird dieses Spiel ungefähr den Early Access-Status haben?

„We’re aiming for about 14 months in Early Access. That said, we’ll adjust based on feedback and development progress—our goal is a stable, polished full release, not rushing a date.“

Wie soll sich die Vollversion von der Early Access-Version unterscheiden?

„For full release, we plan to expand Agromatic in a few big directions:
- More content: additional crops/items/buildings, more contracts, more research nodes, and more reasons to expand into new zones.
- Deeper progression: more meaningful mid/late-game goals tied to research, contracts, and logistics.
- Automation and worker improvements: more controls, better prioritization, smarter behavior, and clearer feedback.
- More world variety: additional world presets/biomes and more generation variety (while keeping seed-based worlds).
- Polish & stability: performance improvements, bug fixing, UI/UX improvements, and better onboarding/tutorial flow.“

Was ist der derzeitige Stand der Early Access-Version?

„The Early Access version is playable in singleplayer and already includes the core management loop:
- A tile-based, zoned world with purchasable expansion zones.
Farming tools and crop growth across a day/night cycle with seasons and weather.
- Hireable workers across multiple roles (farm, crafting, mining, research, logistics, animals, fishing) that can be assigned work by zone.
- Crafting stations and production, with workers collecting ingredients, crafting, and delivering output to storage.
- Mining drills with fuel and output collection, plus storage-based logistics.
- Research at computers with a research tree that unlocks new capabilities.
- Contracts/economy progression driven by deliverable requirements and multipliers.
- Train-based logistics with configurable depots/dispatch behavior.“

Wird dieses Spiel während und nach Early Access unterschiedlich viel kosten?

„Yes. We plan to increase the price as we add significant content and features on the way to full release.“

Wie werden Sie versuchen die Community in den Entwicklungsprozess miteinzubeziehen?

„We’ll actively use Steam discussions, Steam forum and our Google Form feedback to collect bug reports, balance feedback, and feature requests. We’ll prioritize improvements that make the core loop clearer and more satisfying (UI/UX, worker behavior, automation), and we’ll share progress through regular patch notes and roadmaps.“
