Craftomation 101 News

Hey mates! This content update comes with a new frozen robot, more flexibility for Variables and vital QoL improvements:



[h2]v0.84 Released![/h2]

• Added functional 'Ctrl + Z' and 'Ctrl + Shift + Z' keyboard shortcuts! Small step for game development, huge leap for QoL: this was one of the most frequently requested features from the community, and it's finally here!
  
• Added another frozen CraftoMate with premade code: it's found near the Sulfur source and it will help you deal with those annoying rock piles that are blocking the way
  
• Added 'any object' and 'nothing' categories to Object categories (e.g. in Variables): you can now make a bot check whether its' hands are empty, whether a selected tile contains Objects, etc.
  
• Added 'fog of war' to the wiki, that conceals Objects not yet discovered by the player
  
• Bug fixes
  

See you in a couple of weeks, when the next update rolls out!

And if you haven't done it already, please don't forget to add Craftomation 101 to your wishlist, it is an important marker to us, that brings the game's release closer:

Hey mates!

If you're following our news for some time, you might know that in our spare time from making games, we're also organizing an event that gathers games about programming, automation and engineering.

This year it is dedicated to Ada Lovelace Day, celebrating the first programmer in the world. We've got over 80 participants this year, and you might find some familiar names and hidden gems there:

[h2]Visit Ada Lovelace Day Sale[/h2]

And of course, all our games are discounted as well. Craftomation 101 is sold 25% off the price throughout this whole week, and the DLCs are 15% off as well:

Happy hunting, and happy Ada Lovelace Day!

Hey mates,

In this update, we added 3 new programming blocks, and that is not even our final form! These three just lay the foundation for some more exciting ideas that we plan to introduce until the end of the year.

In the meantime, check out the new blocks and let us know what you think of them in the comments and on our Discord server.

[h2]v0.83 Released![/h2]

• New programming block: 'uncombine' lets your CraftoMates to decompose any complex Object into simple components
  
• New programming blocks exclusively for CargoMates: 'get load amount' lets them detect the number of objects they're carrying (and, subsequently, use it as an argument in Variables), and 'get load type' allows them to detect the type of Object on their back (surprise!)
  
• Added an option to give custom names to Variables and inputs/outputs of Functions
  
• We've unified tooltips so that they work the same way in all the game's menus, with an option to pin them and open nested tooltips
  
• Fixed a bug that caused CraftoMates to incorrectly interpret the coordinates of a Storage unit carried around by a CargoMate
  

See you in a couple of weeks, when the next update rolls out!

Hey, mates!

Today we're adding a whole new entity to the game, with the potential to change the way you interact with your CraftoMates!

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

[h2]v0.82 Released![/h2]

• Enter the Ale Sprinkler and his big brother Big Ale Sprinkler*. It will dispense any kind of Ale you load into it.
  
• Ales no longer force switch speed settings of your bots. Instead, if a player changes the speed for a CraftoMate that's affected by an Ale, the speed will be multiplied by the bonus of that Ale
  
• Primordial Ale no longer charges robots; instead, it recharges 2 points of their batteries each second, for a total of 45 seconds. Use the new Sprinkler to create areas in which your robots will be automatically recharged!
  
• We added a new camera module that makes zooming and moving the camera around smoother. Let us know how you like it now, please
  
• Entering numbers as arguments to Variables is now available from the keyboard as well (oh, yeah!)
  
• In a new game, a frozen CraftoMate was added to the map: when warmed out, it will start producing food for other CraftoMates (to give the new players an example of writing such programs)
  
• Other bug fixes
  

*we've had a lot of fun inventing these very extravagant names. In fact, we had so much fun that we would like to do it again: share your ideas for naming these machines in the comments, or talk with us directly on our Discord server.
