KOTVOD Worker #31: Neural Networking for the Win

This week brought a whole bunch of exciting news to KOTOVOD Learning Factory! Ever since our management, in their eternal wisdom, has announced that R&D dept. is hiring new staff, the sales have skyrocketed, and so has the amount of data.

This calls in for introducing more powerful ML Models. Please meet Neural Network Model machine along with its genius cousin, Deep Neural Network Model machine:





These cutting edge technologies will help improve the data science at the Factory, for better customer service (and more money to fund our research!)

As if it wasn't enough, the first seeds of the I.L.L.U.M.I.N.A.T.I. brand new Hedges were delivered on Mars! These marvels of genetic engineering magically stop growing at some point, which not only makes them perfect decorations, but also helps withhold the legendary aggressive growth of Martian plants.

As if that wasn't enough too, KOTOVOD engineers now have access to advanced tools for factory building, which will allow more precision in designing your Learning Factories.

What are you waiting for, engineers? Go build some awesome stuff! We'll be in touch.

[h2]Version 0.9.27 Released[/h2]

• Scenario editor: you can now create all kinds of maps with different parameters
  
• Neural Networks! A brand new machine learning model in the game. It helps optimize the prices in stores, like Regressions do, but does so in a way more efficient way. Also, they look gorgeous
  
• Hedges: a new plant to help make your Factory look nicer and/or withhold the aggressive grows of other Martian plants. Why don't hedges grow and multiply though? That's a mystery, let us know if you have any ideas!
  
• Bug fixes
  
• EPIC HUGE MONSTROUS PERFORMANCE OPTIMIZAAAAAAAATION (the devs were very deliberate about writing it this way)
  
• And a brand new achievement!

Going to Early Access is but the first step to glory (and eternal cat happiness). Wanna be part of what happens next? Head to this blog post and learn how to help make the game even more awesome!
