After shooting with a grand update last month, we were making small steps, that, however, slowly turn Learning Factory in a very different, more polished and good-looking game. Below is the summary of what we've done within the last 30 days, along with a sneak peek of the next big feature we're currently working on.



It seems that we've just updated a couple of tiles, but it was many hours for Sergei the artist, and it was totally worth it! Default surface biome now looks refreshed and so do underground tiles and lava:

Terrain as of May '22


Terrain now:


Ye olde underground level:


Epic new one:


Last but not least: last month we've mentioned mysterious holgraphic cubes that emerge here and there on Mars. The prophecies did not lie: the Cat Knowledge Archives (as they are formally known today) are now available to anyone upon starting new game. They are divided into 5 types, 1 per each research category (Logistics, Production, Science, Terraforming & Upgrades). Upon activation, an Archive adds certain amount of research points to any available or ongoing research project in respective category. But most importantly, they're very satisfying to activate:



That's not all Cat Archives serve for: in the future, they will play an important role in the game progression. Follow our updates to be the first one to know!

This idea was born rather spontaneously, as a result of our friendly chat with players on Discord. We were talking about how it sometimes gets tiresome to build so many Transporter belts on a big map. The solution? Cat Zeppelins! They're not carrying cats around, but they sure help deliver goods between cargo docks.

It's not the fastest way (the video below is in 5X speed), but it saves space AND gives the game a somewhat steampunk vibe:



By the way, if you want to influence game development as well, you're very welcome to join our merry Discord bunch. We're discussing features with players all the time and share the latest work-in-progress news!

Starting this week, most of our team is going away for long-awaited vacations. We're planning to generally stay as far as possible from our PCs, and closer to nature. We hope your summer is going to be tremendous, too! Go out and play, breathe in some fresh air and then come back to play more awesome games!

The Elementors emerged from an experiment done in secret by Elentor Gahux II, when he injected an elixir made from the biological material of Fire Demons into his own body.

They use staves to channel their energy and create powerful attacks that can hit enemies in an area, but their defense is limited.

• The Phantom will now disappear when a photo is taken of it by non-hosts
  
• Ghost footsteps will no longer stop spawning during hunts for fast ghosts
  
• VR players can now hear the Truck footstep sounds

What new content can I expect in the closed beta (and also in the main game beta branch)?

- The car dealer is now your point of contact if you want to buy vehicles (and later also rent them) - but you need a driver's license (depending on the vehicle) to drive it.

- The talent system (the business branch) is now built into the game, in which you can unlock different skills and levels to get better conditions in all possible areas as well as driver's licenses for the different vehicle types.

- Trucks can now also attach trailers to give you the opportunity to transport even more goods at once - you can even have a reversing camera built into your truck to make coupling easier!

- Products (and shelves) must now be purchased from a local store and then transported to the respective stores on pallets.

- Product pallets can now be transported using the previously tested trucks and vans.

- Shelves can now be set up exactly by using the new menu to set where which product should be.

- The bank is now open and offers you up to 3 credits every day! (if you haven't accepted a loan yet)

- The rival market is now part of the game, customers can now also shop there.

- The new tutorial allows new players to understand the game as easily as possible and has been completely redesigned.

- We worked a lot on the game's performance to offer the best possible gaming experience, especially on older devices (minimum requirements) - even if you use more than the "Low" setting.

Minor patch that fixes a few issues :)

• Removed some unused dev voice lines to reduce file size

• Fixed game crash when performing hit registration from a weapon that doesn't exist
  
• Fixed server browser filter distance & refresh buttons (lol)
  
• Lowered global illumination probe count in Aperture, which was causing significant performance issues
  
• Disabled Steam Workshop uploading tool when the game isn't connected to Steam

What is up Depthians!

Another dose of bug fixing :)

• Added a dead zone slider for control pads and set the default dead zone to 20% (up from 0%).

• Laser Targetter data can now be controller with the Generic Block Setter
• Particle cannon reload time (charge time) can now be adjusted with the Generic Block Setter
• Steam valve can now be controller with the Generic Block Setter
• [BUGS-3897] added power creation priority to the Generic Block Setter and added a slider for fuel engine generator power user priority to the fuel engine UI sliders section.

• The auto-balance default for new propulsion will change as you press the 'Turn [ON/OFF] automatic control for all propulsion' button

• Light-block now uses the same shader as glass blocks and thus renders damage, can be cut-away and painted.

• Subvehicle spawners on turrets should now work more reliably (spawn the vehicle in the correct place and more robustly link to the correct drone).
• The 'force position' of a drone in a fleet is now set, which can help to reduce the chance of collision for drones (they'll try to stay where the SVS puts them).

• Fixed a threading issue that caused the creation of chunk meshes to slow down the game
• Map now correctly changes when loading another planet
• Remote missile guidance module no longer causes issues

• Saving of vehicles using custom tags in non-english languages now works

• [BUGS-3862] Missiles, CRAM shells and APS shells now adjust their health based on the configurable damage factor of the session, in the same way that blocks do

• [BUGS-3818] Fixed a serious issue with the late game diplomacy calculations that lead to a crash when trying to get the council to meet

• [BUGS-3892] Fixed a gridcasting issue that affected turret blocks and caused issues for mouse based build mode (interaction with turret bases) and perhaps damage calculations as well

• Fixed an issue where the 'head' is on at a 90° angle when first spawning in multiplayer

• [BUGS-3893] wheels should now respond correctly when first placed (auto-balancing bug).
