[p]It’s nearly 10 days since our full release.[/p][p]In that time, we’ve been truly moved every day by your incredible support. Thanks to you, we reached #1 worldwide on Steam’s “New & Trending” and topped the Switch 2 download rankings. We’re deeply grateful.[/p][p][/p][p]We also have an update regarding the promised price adjustment.[/p][p]After repeated confirmations with Steam Support, we were told that “even when transitioning from Early Access, no price change can be made within 30 days of launch.” We’re still negotiating, but progress has been difficult, and it’s possible we may have to maintain the current price for up to another 20 days. However, as soon as the application is approved, the change will be reflected immediately.[/p][p][/p][p]We feel truly sorry toward those of you who purchased early around launch, but we wanted to share this conclusion honestly.[/p][p][/p][p]This game has been built together with the community, from feedback on Discord during Early Access to wishlists from those eagerly awaiting release. That ongoing support is exactly what made this success possible.[/p][p][/p][p]Because of that, we want every decision about pricing and updates to be communicated in a way that feels fair to all of you. This announcement too was made in that spirit of honesty.[/p][p][/p][p]From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for the constant support you give us every day.[/p]

Updated to v1.0.5

Fixed an issue where continuing from continue data would cause the game to become unprogressable if Bridge Conveyors or Joints had been placed using methods that should not be allowed due to a bug.

※ This fix is a temporary measure to allow recovery from continue data that became corrupted due to the issue. Only the Bridge Conveyors placed via the affected method will be removed when resuming the game. A full fix to correct the behavior of Bridge Conveyors is currently in development—we appreciate your patience as we work to resolve it.

Updated to v1.0.4

This patch focuses on bug fixes.

・Fixed an issue where input and output processing was delayed when running the game at 2x or 3x speed. This resolves various issues caused by increased game speed.
・Fixed an issue where connecting certain equipment, such as the Big Composite Divider, to the Coating Machine caused parts of the factory to stop functioning.
・Fixed an issue where the Coating Machine would not operate under certain conditions.
・Fixed an issue where the confirmation text for destroying Motif Sources was incorrect when destruction was enabled via the effect of Ordeal of Wisdom.
