Hi everyone! uFactory is just about to release, so here's the final pre-release devlog!It's been a long journey to get here, so I want to outline what comes next:Post Release PlansModding SupportFirst thing that will happen post-release is a series of guides on using the tools built into uFactory to mod the game. The plan is to build a user-editable wiki with guides and screenshots and release a sample mod to show how its done. This will also come with Steam Workshop integration so you can share your mods with other people!The tools are already there, we just need the starter documentation to

Hi everyone! In the last dev log, I talked briefly about building the game's editors into the game itself. As it turns out, this was a big mistake. The goal was to take the old editors, built on the ancient WinForms framework, and modernize them and make them multiplatform. Unfortunately, game engines are not ideal for such intricate and data-driven work. uFactory's data structures are just too complex and deeply nested to build a proper editor in that system. So, I needed to find a new framework. Enter Avalonia. It's a modern cross-platform framework for data-driven user interfaces. I was abl

Hi folks! Progress continues on uFactory. Translations are slowly worming their way throughout the code base and controller-compatibility is being checked everywhere. However, one other big thing being worked on behind-the-scenes is improving the tooling. The current editors are clunky, to say the least, and having them separate from the actual game often makes it difficult to gauge how the changes you're making affect the gameplay. So, the best way I could think of to fix this is to build the editors into the game itself. This has a couple added benefits: Easier for modders (and me!) to make

Hi folks! Sorry for the lateness this month. Life intervened. It's been a busy few weeks, but progress continues, slowly but surely, on uFactory! Unfortunately, the release date for this latest update was missed, but it's far from dead; just a bit more complicated than anticipated. Here's some signs of life, though! For one, the uFactory user translation website has been re-launched! From there, you can track the status of translation into other languages and contribute your own translations to the game! As it stands, using uFactory with a gamepad is about 70-80% done and hooking up localizati

Hi everyone! Progress continues on the 2.2 update for uFactory! The big feature for this next update is Platform Support: uFactory is now running smoothly as a native app on Linux! Work on the Mac version is still ongoing uFactory runs smoothly on Steam Deck too, but the controls were lacking... ...which bring me to my next point. A new surprise feature! uFactory 2.2 will include Full Gamepad Support! Want to sit back in your couch and play with an Xbox controller? Well, soon you can! This controller support will make the game much more enjoyable on Steam Deck as well. The goal is still to hav

Hi everyone! 2.1.5 has officially launched! The next version, 2.2 is now in-progress. What will it contain? A lot of cool stuff! Platform Support! This is the big one. The goal is to begin fully supporting Linux, Mac, and Steam Deck for uFactory! Language/Translation support. Godot is famously good at this, so hopefully it will be an easy integration! Searchable Help. A universal search bar for materials, machines, and production processes. Interface improvements, like the pie chart showing machine status over time. This update will also include a two new glassware levels and two other new una
