Learning Factory News

This week is rather special for Learning Factory, since we're cracking a new stage of development: quality parameter has been introduced for items and resources (ok, this time it's only one resource, but more will follow). What will it turn into when scaled to the whole crafting mechanics? Well, there will be lots of stuff, including more diverse gameplay strategies and more challenge for experienced factory-builders!

But as usual, it's not just that! Behold our rather lenghty list of new & cool features, including the long awaited cloud saves:

[h3]v0.13.98 Released![/h3]

• New feature: quality of items (beta). Higher quality items increase the chance for a cat to call friends to the Factory upon selling, along with giving a chance of increasing overall Hype level upon selling. Higher quality items can be used in crafting instead of lower quality items of the same time. At the moment, the only item of higher quality is Wood harvested from Fir Trees
  
• The amount of Wood harvested from Fir Trees is rebalanced
  
• New building: Quality Splitter allows distinguishing higher quality items from lower quality items
  
• New building: Exit Cat Gate allows the cats to leave your Factory without shopping; each cat left decreases overall Hype level
  
• Terrain tiles can now be placed upon Rafts; Raft tiles will be automatically placed back to the inventory
  
• Rafts and Lava Rafts are now also present on Logistics category (along with Terraforming category) on the building panel; Lava Raft research project is now related to Logistics and Terraforming fields of knowledge
  
• In Campaign mode, there’s now a Copper Vein to the right from the default Sphinx location
  
• Certain piles of junk now also provide Copper upon harvesting
  
• Added a feature to instantly collect all buildings on unlocked Territories (to be found to the left from the mini-map)
  
• Added a feature to fertilize multiple plants at once: use ‘Ctrl + click’ while applying the Fertilizer
  
• Improved tutorial in Campaign mode
  
• Cloud saves now available
• Updated keys in localizations
  
• System language is now automatically detected and selected on loading
  
• More hints while loading the game
  
• More Halloween decorations
  
• Updated Art Pack: more sketches and wallpapers
  
• 1 new achievement
  
• Bug fixes
  
• UI/UX improvements
  
• Performance optimization
  
• Loading time decreased, up to minus 30 seconds in cerating cases

Let's face it: cats can be genuinely terrifying.

They creep on you. They appear and re-emerge in different places of the house. They suddenly attack the parts of your body that are careless enough to stick from under the blanket. Last but not least: they make infernal sounds, if not fed timely.

A purrfect creature for the purrifyuing time of the year!
