This version adds experimental multiplayer features. If you'd like to participate in tests, please join the Discord https://discord.gg/peBD6Z5PvN Please note that multiplayer is VERY experimental and might never make it into the actual game.

I planned on removing older Steam betas for some time now. With 0.8.2 I hit Steam's maximum betas count and will have to remove at least one to be able to make a new release. So I decided to clean things up. There currently are the following betas: 0.3.4 0.3.5 0.3.6 0.3.7 0.3.8 0.3.9 0.4.0 0.4.1 0.4.2 0.5.0 0.5.1 0.5.2 0.5.3 0.5.4 0.5.5 0.6.0 0.6.1 0.6.2 0.6.3 0.7.0 0.7.1 0.8.0 0.8.1 0.8.2 With MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH versioning, I plan on keeping the highest patch version of every minor version (plus recent ones regardless). Which means the following will remain: 0.3.9 0.4.2 0.5.5 0.6.3 0.7.1 0.8.0

Version 0.8.2 is now available https://buckmartin.de/factor-y/2024-05-04-v0.8.2.html
2024-04-04 19:39 UTC · Community Announcements · MBS
I'm renaming the game to 'Factor Y', you should notice the new name in more and more places while the rename is in progress. The name of the executable and Steam app folder will stick to 'Combine And Conquer' for now to make sure everything remains compatible. If you see the old name in other locations a few days from now, please let me know. 0.8.1 updates strings within the game and also contains some small improvements: https://buckmartin.de/factor-y/2024-04-02-v0.8.1.html
2024-03-23 16:41 UTC · Community Announcements · MBS
Version 0.8.0 features improved savegame stability, plugins, modifiers, high-res planets and much more. Full patch notes: https://buckmartin.de/combine-and-conquer/2024-03-23-v0.8.0.html If you'd like to opt-out of the update to continue playing with your current factory, please follow this guide and choose 0.7.1. accordingly: https://steamcommunity.com/app/2220850/discussions/0/5501743491363459414/
