Introducing player writable signs!

Hello factory builders,

Today brings a minor update with a big feature, writable signs! You can unlock them in the tech tree under decorations. After you place a sign you can edit the message and text color. They can be copied and moved like other buildings and also included in blueprints!



There is a technical limit of 100 per world which I hope is enough, if not let me know in the comments.

Thank you for all your support and keep on building!

Publisher Announcement

Hello factory builders,

We are proud to announce that Builderment is now being published by indie.io. For those of you who may not know, having a game publisher like indie.io greatly helps indie developers focus on game development while they handle all the behind-the-scenes magic. From helping manage store pages to crafting marketing campaigns and even helping the game shine at both digital and live events, publishers help in all the aspects that indie developers often struggle with.

You may also be concerned about horror stories of publishers ruining the vision of a game or forcing arbitrary restrictions on the dev team. For indie.io, that couldn't be further from the truth. indie.io has been a great partner to us, only enhancing and supporting our vision. We were very careful when considering whether to go with a publisher or not, and selected indie.io because they are committed to our vision of the game, and only want to see it reach its full potential as we see it. We maintain complete creative and development control, and indie.io wouldn't have it any other way!

Follow us on our socials, join our Discord, and be sure to wishlist the game to stay up to date with future news.

Thank you for all your support and keep on building!
