Hello valued employees!

What a momentous and autumnal day it is. Carve those routers and restart those pumpkins because the OXYTHANE BREACH is upon us!!

New SPECIAL ASSIGNMENT, new MAP, new GUN, new MISSION, new SKINS, new ENEMIES, the same old ROACH, and an all new TURBOCHARGING feature for upgrades!

That’s a lot of stuff I think. But there’s even more! The UI is prettier. Explosions aren’t so overwhelming. Roachard spilled his milk. And some other things - read on for details!

---

In addition to all the in-game goodies, the Mycopunk original soundtrack is now available for purchase on Steam! Support the development of Mycopunk while enjoying the songs of New Atlas, available standalone, or as a nice little bundle if you don’t have the game already.

This new SMG fires bursts of increasing size, but more importantly, you can fire it while sprinting! By default it shoots out electrified bullets, though you should keep an eye out for those nasty bees…

The Accelerator awaits in our new Special Assignment…

Oxythane’s Research & Development Hub #42 is under attack! Get in there and kill things. Completing Oxythane Breach unlocks an ‘Escalation’ mode with waves of escalating difficulty and a special reward for Threat 7.

This new mission lets you drop into New Atlas, complete random objectives for as long as you want, and then extract at your leisure. You’re free to roam the area as long as you want, but be warned — the longer you stay, the angrier your fungal enemies become.

Paid Time Off features objectives taken from previous missions as well as some new objectives, one of which comes with a new mission vehicle!

You can also switch and modify weapons whenever you want while in a Paid Time Off mission.

Roachard got you clearance for a new area of the Gravity Farms! Missions in the Gravity Farms can spawn in either area. To showcase the Shipping Lane level, the new Paid Time Off mission in the Gravity Farms will only spawn in the Shipping Lane for now. Maybe for a week or two, we don’t really know.

Saxon would like to remind all employees that Speed Gate related injuries are not covered by company health insurance.

Added three new enemies: The Devastator, Missilehead, and Rocket Grunt. Watch out for their new weaponry! We also did these things:

• Fixed an issue where enemy arms could jitter when you stood to close to them

• Fixed some cases where enemies could fire through walls

• Improved leg behavior on larger enemies to make them move into more spider-like positions

• Pixies can no longer target other enemies with immunity beams. No more pixie chains!

• Fixed some issues with syncing enemies when joining a game

You can now spend Strange Components to turbocharge exotic upgrades. Turbocharged exotics gain a new ability, ranging from stat boosts too new behaviors.

Turbocharges coming with Oxythane Breach:

• Lead Flinger

• Trident

• Plate Launcher

• Wrangler

• Bruiser

• Scrapper

• Glider

Turbocharges for the remaining weapons and grenades will come alongside future updates!

• The UI has gotten a redesign! It’s cool.

• You can even set a custom UI color in your settings

• Weapons and employees in your inventory now render with their equipped skins

• The old UI distortion is turned off by default to help make the interface more readable. You can enable it in the settings if you miss it.

• Wrenches be gone! You can now heal Hunk’s wheels by hitting them with your melee, freeing up your heavy slot.

• If you find yourself missing your favorite wrench, fear not! He will return, stronger than before.

• Fixed an issue where this mission wouldn’t be synced correctly to players joining during the truck escort

Now has an option to launch in hard mode with mission modifiers and more enemies.

Added some new info when browsing other crews. When hovering over a crew lobby button, you can now see additional player info and the duration of the active mission.

…Got a facelift! Now they looker cooler.

• Added an option to disable damage numbers (in the gameplay settings)

• Some explosions are now less opaque when they explode on top of you, including most explosions created by other employees

• Wrangler’s Eyes Up Here upgrade no longer spawns eyes for other players. These were just cluttering up the screen since other players can’t interact with them.

🚀 Car Factory Empire is now in Early Access — and this is a real game

Hi there!

We’re not launching a prototype or recruiting testers. We’re releasing a complete, cohesive, and fully playable game — one you can dive into for hours right now. It’s stable, balanced, and built around our core idea: the synergy of three gameplay modes:

Factory Management: You don’t build from scratch — you evolve an existing plant. Upgrade your assembly shop to three independent lines, expand your warehouse, research vehicle technologies, and fine-tune your Design Bureau to fit your strategy.

Strategic Map: Deploy up to three managers (one per administrative level) to capture resource buildings and cities. Every tactical move feeds back into your production.

Racing: Hit the track in your own car — the one you designed. Fuel tank size, headlight presence, engine power — every detail matters. This isn’t luck; it’s a test of your engineering logic.

🔧 What’s new since the demo?

After Steam Next Fest, we received hundreds of thoughtful reviews — from newcomers, seasoned players, and even fans over 50. Thank you! We’ve:

Fixed critical bugs

Improved UI clarity

Added new race tracks

Unlocked building upgrades beyond Level 1

Integrated Steam Achievements

And yes — the demo won’t be abandoned. It will remain freely available forever, kept in sync with the full game — just with limited features. It’s our way of letting anyone try Car Factory Empire fairly before buying.

🤝 Early Access — but not “waiting mode”

This is not a draft. This is the full Car Factory Empire experience, ready to play today.

We’ll keep developing the game according to our roadmap, not vague promises — and we’ll do it in close dialogue with you.

Post in the Steam discussions, send bug reports, share your ideas. We read everything. And truly — your feedback shapes the game.

💡 Thank you for believing in our vision.

May your first car not be perfect…

…but may it be yours — from blueprint to finish line.

The Car Factory Empire Team

Hello all -

Thanks to everyone that participated in the Playtest period for the Hermit Demo. Just to note that today the playtest will be deactivated. As the full Game Demo is now available, players should make their way over to the Demo rather than the playtest page to Access the Hermit Demo.

You can still access the game via the Game Demo page (the main release of the Hermit Demo is there now), and (as long as you haven't uninstalled/deleted them) your SaveGame files by downloading the Demo and accessing them there. It is the same build as the last playtest version and your Save files should be located automatically.

For those wishing to make a backup of their SaveGames, note that on Windows they are stored in
you User folder under:

\\AppData\\Local\\GameFile\\Saved\\SaveGames

A huge thank you once again to everyone that participated in playtesting!

A new demo has just been made available, giving a much more complete idea of what's waiting for the cat mom when the full game lands on Q1 2026.

Explore the alien ship until you get the first kitten back! And please leave a review if you can, it will help the game get more eyes on it.
