You can see the award like the one below on store page in lower left part.

The new update will be slower than usual, I'm working on new locations in Empire and I want to push 2-3 at the same time. I will post progress later on when I'm further in the making, but, right now I have some issues and I can't really dedicated that much free time because of personal reasons and work. Hopefully, that will change,

Have a nice week.

Happy Birthday to the USA! Check out this Road Runner Independence day creation the development team made! We are excited to announce that developer vlogs will be coming soon! Stay tuned for new content and we can't wait to see what you will create!!!!

The next Major Update (0.2.0.0) is nearing completion! The changes are so expansive that it will no longer be compatible with older save files unfortunately.

Once the update is released, if you have an older save file you want to keep playing, you will need to join the new Legacy Branch. This will keep your game on the older version (0.1.8.x).

Here is how you join the legacy branch:

1. Open Steam Library
   
2. Right click MegaFactory Titan
   
3. Select Properties
   
4. Go to tab 'Betas' at the top.
   
5. Select 'legacy' in the drop-down.

The default branch will update to the new version when it launches.

Update 0.2.0.0 is still at least one week away from release, possibly longer.


What's in the new version? A sneak peek:

• Terrain generation is redesigned to prevent you from starting in a bad area with little resources. You will now always be able to find needed early game resources close by. No need to explore for hours to find what you want.
  
• Four New Terrain Types
  
• Ruins litter Titan's surface now - dead colonies, abandoned factories, remnants of prior expeditions, and much more. There are more ways to interact with these ruins now, and more bonuses you can find in them.
  
• There's a new enemy faction, the Wildland Marauders, that claims all of Titan as their own.
  
• All Player Factions have been heavily reworked.
  
• Also, each Player Faction now has powerful and completely unique ability.
  
• Vehicles Augmentations can now be installed on your vehicles to customize and enhance them.
  
• Logistics Improvements - Sorting Houses, Storage Buffers, and Maglev Catapults have all been improved. Maglev Tubes and Cargo Vehicles now interop with each other much more smoothly.
  
• Tech Tree and Recipe Changes - Many new techs have been added, a few old techs have been removed, and most existing recipes have been tweaked. Early game recipes have been simplified to help new players ease in.
  
• Many Quality of Life changes.

We have done some backend adjustments to improve stability with Unreal Engine 5, esp. with the newest nVidia drivers: 516.59. The patch also includes a completely new UI.
The patch size is around 8000MB and we apologize for this.

- Backend stability and improvements.
- Completely new and improved UI.
- Less taxing main menu screen. This is handy for idle/adjusting clocks without closing program, improving stability.

Version 1.5.3 of Mini Matches is now available, and brings with it the largest content update since launch!


It's not your typical action game, but you still get to give your reflexes a workout as this mode rapidly throws instructions at you. Jump to comply or be eliminated.




I spent some time implementing a neat procedural generation algorithm that creates an almost infinite range of minigolf courses that you can play. Each time you get the mini-golf round, you get a brand new layout.



If you're interested in hearing more about how this works, I wrote a thread on the technical side of this here.

• Bullets now disappear immediately when they hit the walls in the platformer mode. (Otherwise they sit around on the ground and block players from moving.)
  
• Fixed bug where emotes used in effects were not selecting correctly from player's emotes.

Happy Golfing,
Philip

Rejoice! Time to Fight is now free! Grab a friend and go play now (or try your luck vs the CPU)!
