Learning Factory News

At KOTOVOD Learning Factory, we always think about the future: we work today to make sure tomorrow is brighter! Which is exactly why we decided to spend some extra time on polishing this week's Alpha update. It is to be released tomorrow.

It was especially vital, as more and more cats are flowing to the Factory's Stores, looking to buy goods of their dreams. The rumor is that the Interstellar Lazy Labor Union for Mars Integration and Never-ending Aspiration for Technological Innovations (the I.L.L.U.M.I.N.A.T.I.) is showing interest in partnering with KOTOVOD and is planning to send their foremen cats to see whether our Factory's powers are sufficient to satisfy their demand for construction materials.

Numerous initiatives for improving production efficiency were suggested by Dr. Katz for immediate implementation. If you are a KOTOVOD engineer, you automatically agree to prolonged work shifts by reading this article, with no extra compensation provided. Glory to science! Glory to KOTOVOD!

[h2]Version 0.7.2 To Be Released (Tomorrow)[/h2]

• Cluster Core has rusted and can be dismantled for resources. It is now longer required for processing data
  
• Feature extractor is called Data Storage from now on. It doesn't process raw data anymore, but it has a very fancy bar that shows the current amount of data stored in it
  
• Buildings consuming data (Labs and Linear Regression) now process it into data features by themselves
  
• Additionally, Linear Regression now automatically collects first batch of data from connected storages, if it's available
  
• You can now connect multiple Stores, Data Storages, Labs and Linear Regressions into groups.
  
• You can see which objects make up current batch of data in a Linear Regression by clicking on it
  
• New type of cats to visit your Stores: foreman cats. They will be looking for building materials, so make sure those are in the stock
  
• Transporter lines now visibly connect to building outputs
  
• Updated game map
  
• Updated Store design
  
• Bug fixes
  
• Interface improvements

KOTOVOD Learning Factory looks especially festive today! It is not accidental: this week, the Autumn Festival is being held on the campus, with hundreds of curious new recruits flowing through the gates to see the technological marvel that is our Learning Factory.

Ah, that glow of enthusiasm in their eyes! The shiver of excitement in their hands! You can’t confuse it with anything. What will they find here? Oh, they’re in for so many treats! The glorious ruins of MARSOHOD rover! The gorgeous cotton fields in bloom! Not to mention the giant Sphinx piñata for the new engineers to crack and discover its wonders! Just be careful with the Spinx’s behind, there is expensive machinery inside (wink-wink!)

And what about the cats, one might ask? Oh, these days they will become happier than ever, with so many new caring hands and smiling faces around them! Cats know how to tell when they are loved: new kinds of curious feline creatures were noticed coming out of Cat Gates. Welcome to cat-human paradise, little furry friends!

All is well at KOTOVOD. Let us celebrate!
