In this section of patch notes, we answer the question from community that were submitted via the in-game feedback form and/or seemed especially interesting to us, You can always contact us directly in the comments or join our Discord server

Q: "i keep having to load my apple harvesters its set to only produce the top quailty unless i let it make lower quality goods for a second and then it starts making the stuff agin but i habe to keep doin this" -Lord-Escanor221 A: That's not a bug, some lower quality Boxes are lurking somewhere on your Transporter line. They have a similar color, so they might be hard to notice them. We've added a warning, to help avoid confusion.

We know Learning Factory is mostly about machinery, logistics, and cats, of course! But it's also about chains of production, as you're mostly craft goods from your locally harvested resrouces.

And we have added so many farming tools throughout these years, that Learning Factory now qualifies as a legitimate farming game! You can sow, you can fertilize, you can harvest, you must mind the quality of soil... Sounds pretty farmey to us!

Which is why we were honored with an invitation to Valve's Farming Fest this year. And for you it means an awesome deal on Learning Factory and the DLCs, which are 34% and 13% off, respectively.
