Learning Factory News

At KOTOVOD Learning Factory, there are now small improvements and every detail matters, if it can affect personnel's spirit! Which is exactly why Dr. Katz has administered the improvement of looks for certain buildings! The glorious Fish and Rope Makers have been upgraded, so now engineers can actually see them working! Sadly, most engineers won't have time to observe that spectacular machinery, as there is a lot of work to do for improving lives of cats... At least, they can keep working, heads down and assured with knowing that the world around them is so beautiful!

[h2]Version 0.9.23 Released[/h2]

• Fish Maker and Rope Maker buildings are now animated
  
• Fish Maker now requires Metal, Fish and Cat Food to be crafted
  
• Small re-balancing of early buildings crafting and cat spawn: crafting time slightly increased but cats are asking for smaller amount of goods
  
• UI improvements
  
• Bug fixes (including the bug with Turing Trees)

Give robot a fish and... it wouldn't know what to do with it.

Teach a robot to fish - and he will feed an unlimited amount of cats for a lifetime!

That's exactly what the I.L.L.U.M.I.N.A.T.I. brightest scientists had on their minds when they were conceiving the Fishing Pier, which is now available to research and build for all KOTOVOD engineers!

Of course, there is the magnificent Fish Maker to do that work, but... It also is an advanced piece of machinery, capable of producing fish out of thin air. The oceans of Mars, on the other hand, are already full of fish-imitating edible robots, which were dropped there during the early colonization stages. They resemble real fish in every way, except for they are not real fish... still delicious though.

As KOTOVOD administration (and, subsequently, everyone else) believes, the introduction of the Fishing Peer should help saturate the demand for Fish and Cat Food during the early stages of Learning Factory building.

Science is triumphant again today! Lives are improving and the future is bright! Glory to KOTOVOD!
