[h2]Version 0.8.18 Released[/h2]

• Improved Transporter designs for better navigation
  
• Factory Analytics I: the game is now capable of detecting production or sales issues and display graphs relevant to those issues. Head to the Stats tab in the Monument to check out this very helpful tool
  
• Bug fixes, as usual
  

Please let us know how whether the new Analytics is helpful to you and if you want to add/improve/clarify something! Have fun, and see you next week!

It's been merely a week since KOTOVOD Learning Factory has re-opened its doors to general public, but the fruits of hard work are already in bloom, and boy, are they promising! Cats of all kinds are visiting the factory these days: including a very peculiar breed of Clerk Cats, who are usually too busy with work to be shopping (nice try though: we all know that cats are only pretending to be working)! But they have made an exception due to how awesome the KOTOVOD goods are! Especially with the brand new Loom machine, that is making the finest pieces of cloth for cat Pillows.

The Factory's administration has also recommended us to remind all the engineers: please don't mind the machinery malfunctions at the moment, our tech staff is working hard on fixing those. There's no immanent danger to the personnel. Maybe. We'll figure this out. Please follow the updates.

[h2]Version 0.8.16 Released[/h2]

• New breed of cats - Clerk Cats
  
• New Building: Loom; New Resource - Cloth (required for producing Pillows)
  
• If two tiles of Transporters are facing each other, items don't move on them
  
• After connecting an ML Model to a Store, prices are set by a Model by default
  
• Prices suggested by an ML model are now visible in the price table
  
• Player can no longer set prices for goods that cannot be purchased in a Store
  
• A new Iron Vein is added to the map (available after starting a new game)
  
• Passing through Cotton fields and Trees made easier
  
• The game saves automatically each 15 minutes and upon closing the game
  
• Stores' inventory increased (delete and replace existing Stores for the change to take effect)
  
• Traveling between map levels made easier
  
• A new and useful type of events added
  
• Tutorial updates
  
• UI updates
  
• Bug fixes
  

Until next time! Glory to science! Glory to KOTOVOD!
