Add to your wishlist! Why and how?

You probably saw the "Add to your wishlist" message several times here on Steam. But what are all the developers asking it for, should you click that green (or blue) button, what is it?

You can add the game to the wishlist right here:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1724140/Craftomation_101/

Or you can do it on the game's page just under the video trailer, like this:


[h2]For players[/h2]
If you have a game on your wishlist you will:
  • Receive an email on the release day
  • See news about the game published by its' developer here on Steam
  • Get notified about the discounts by email

You can always remove the game from your wishlist.

[h2]For developers[/h2]
The developer will know nothing about players who added the game to the wishlist. No email, no account name, no ability to send you a message - nothing. The only thing visible for the developers is the total number of wishlists
This number is a thing that can help the developers understand how much players are interested in the game, and how many additional features and level of quality they should consider to work on.
  • 1,000 wishlists - almost nobody knows about the game, probably players don't want it or never heard about the game
  • 1,000,000 wishlists - players absolutely crazy about that and expecting something really really good from the developers

[h2]Now you know what to do[/h2]
If you are interested - consider adding the game to your wishlist right now, it's like hitting the subscribe button on social media.
If you are not sure yet (or you waiting for the discounts) and want to see how the game is being developed to decide later - adding to the wishlist is the best option to tell Steam algorithms that you want to be aware of news and updates from the developer.

P.S. If you want to talk to developers directly, suggest some features, and get more involved in the making of the game - Discord and Steam Discussions are great for that. Or let's chat down below if you have anything to discuss!

Let there be games!

New Update - v0.75


Hey mates! This update adds one major feature to the game, the one that you've been asking for since release! We're very excited to know if it will make your terraforming adventure more comfortable, so please update soon:

[h3]v0.75 Released![/h3]
Bot-management interface is finally here! Here's what it does:
  • Allows you to quickly check the status of each Craftomate, and see if it's working, paused, out of energy or has an error
  • Allows you to create custom groups, pick names and colors for them
  • Allows dragging and dropping robots to groups
  • Allows selecting robots by clicking on them, naturally


What will be added later
  • Syncing switching between robots with arrow keys on the bottom of the screen with their position in the new interface
  • Controlling robots from the interface. Our plan is to see how people like its' current state and how they would like it improved, and then hopefully add more functions. Let us know what you think in the comments or on our Discord

We have also added community translation into Portuguese!

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:

New Update - v0.74



Hey mates!

It's spring in our hemisphere, so this update will be colorful, like flowers in bloom! Only it's not flowers, but robots.

Anyway, we've released a new update, please check it out and let us know what you think - your feedback is fueling the development of Craftomation 101!



[h3]v0.74 Released![/h3]
  • Cargomates can now be colored, the same way as regular Craftomates
  • Added an extra Cargomate by the Sulfur Source. It has a pre-written code, to help the new players understand what these big guys can do
  • Added an additional warning that appears when a player selects to delete a Craftomate's code
  • Switching to another window via Alt+Tab now mutes the in-game sound
  • 'Repeat' command now has more comprehensive input/output names. The execution of the command was also made more user-friendly, as we've received a lot of feedback about this command being confusing. We hope it's all better now!
Old:

New:

Some extra pesky bugs were fixed, including:
  • That one that caused a collision between Cargomate and a Storage
  • That one that caused the grid in the programming interface to move, if a player switched between Craftomates while was open
  • That one that caused a function to crash if a player copy-pasted inputs or outputs of a variable from another function

See you in a couple of weeks, when the next update rolls out! Speaking of which, we have a teaser for you: many players were asking us about robot-management interface, which was part of our development plan but didn't make it to Early Access release. It is now officially in the making, although far from final form:



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:
