Why Early Access?

“The game is already big and fully playable, but a factory game lives or dies on its balance, and we can only test so many yards ourselves. The demo taught us a lot: players build things we never expected, and a good chunk of what's in the game now came from their feedback. We want to keep working like that while we finish the rest.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Roughly 6 to 12 months. It depends on what players think of the later stages and how much needs changing.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“We plan to add more content on top of the five stages that are already in: new machines, more diggers, bigger late game projects and more things to build with. We also plan a lot of balancing and polish, especially for the bigger piles, based on what players tell us. Some of these plans will probably change along the way, because We'd rather build what players actually want than stick to a list.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“You can play from your first handful of hay all the way to the ending, where you find all 24 needles. There are five stages of production, from hay bales and bricks up to paper, bioplastic and carbon fibre, with conveyors, pipes, power, scanners, delivery orders, blueprints and building parts. A Standard pile takes around 7 to 10 hours, and the Mountain takes 30 hours or more. There will be bugs. The game sends a crash report on its own, and you can report anything else on our Discord.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Yes. We plan to raise the price when the game leaves Early Access, so buying now is the cheapest way to get it.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“Community is very involved in development process since beginning, We have discord with dedicated ideas/bugs channels that are revised daily.”
