[h2]Hey Car Manufacture fans![/h2]

Edit: The nomination period has ended, and we're so grateful for all the amazing support we received!

It's that time of the year—Steam Awards 2024 are here, and we need your help! We'd love for you to nominate Car Manufacture for the "Sit Back and Relax" category if you've enjoyed your time with the game.

We're still in Early Access, constantly adding new features and making improvements based on your feedback. Your support has already been amazing, and we couldn't do this without you. So, if you feel like Car Manufacture has earned that "Sit Back and Relax" nomination, we'd be super grateful.

Thanks for everything!

[h3]Dear Manufacturers[/h3]

As always, we would like to thank you for all the support and time you’ve put into our game. We’re thrilled to announce that our biggest update yet is on the way! Here’s a sneak peek at what’s coming and how it’ll make your gameplay even better:

Storage Conveyor
We’re implementing hanging conveyors that can transport car parts throughout the factory. You’ll be able to connect any storage container, building and robot, making logistics smoother and more efficient than ever!

Market Object
A separate market object you can place right inside your factory is on the way! It’ll be helpful, especially on those larger maps - but keep in mind that it comes with a hefty price tag.

Robots Overhaul
We’re introducing a brand-new robot model and adding variants of the existing ones with extra storage capacity. Robots are also getting their first balancing update, making them a little harder to acquire.

Assembly Line UI
We’re making some updates to the conveyor UI! You’ll now be able to rename your conveyor belts and we’re adding separate tabs - starting with stats that include detailed graphs and info. The final tab will have advanced options like worker assignment and commonly requested features like “Clear” and “Auto-Set” to make managing related orders a breeze.

Additional Improvements and Fixes
We’ve also tackled some reported issues and are continuously working to optimize the game’s performance.

We’re planning to release it in November, so stay tuned for more details soon. In the meantime, join us on our official Discord server to chat, share ideas, and connect with the community.

Until next time!
