v0.6.20 - Daily Production Controls, Vendor Truck Automation, and More Employees

Hi everyone, 😄

Thank you very much for all the feedback and reports you’ve been sharing. This week’s update focuses on improving and expanding several features that were introduced in previous patches. The main goal is to reduce repetitive setup, improve clarity around Vendor Truck workflows, and give you more tools to scale your factory operations.

We also want to mention that Factory Building Expansion is on the way. It is still in development, and once it is ready, we will share full details in an upcoming devlog.

Main Updates

1. Daily Production Limit for Starter Machines

Based on requests from players who want more day-to-day production control, we updated the Starter Machine Employee Settings with a new option: Daily Production Limit.

• When you set a daily production limit, the Starter Machine will follow that limit during the day.

• When the day changes, the production limit will automatically reset back to the same value you previously set.

• This means you no longer need to manually reconfigure the same limit every day, making daily routines smoother and less repetitive.

3. New Monitor: Vendor Truck Loader Assignment

We noticed many players did not realize that Loading Operators have a Vendor Truck loading task. To improve visibility, we added a new monitor that shows Vendor Truck Loader Assignment. The monitor located in the Vendor Truck Garage area.

• This monitor displays which Loading Operators are currently configured as Vendor Truck Loaders.

• If an operator is not assigned, you can adjust their priority configuration through the Employee Menu in the Tablet.

This should make it much easier to understand and manage your Vendor Truck loading workflow.

2. Vendor Truck Employee Settings: Sales Location Target and Full Delegation

We updated Vendor Truck Employee Settings to support a more automated Vendor Truck loop.

• You can now choose a target sales location directly in Vendor Truck settings.

• You can also delegate the task of confirming the sales trip to employees.

• With this change, Vendor Truck trips can now run continuously based on the routine you set, without requiring manual confirmation from the player each time.

4. More Employees Introduced

To help larger factories run more smoothly, we are introducing more employees in this update:

• 5 Production Assistants

• 1 Loading Operator

Improvements

1. Reset Loading Button (Vendor Truck Employee Settings)

A new Reset Loading button has been added to the Vendor Truck Employee Settings. This allows you to reset the employee’s loading progress (capacity progress), so they will load and deliver the same target amount again based on your previous setup.

2. Employee UI Filter

The Employee UI now includes a category filter to help you manage larger employee lists more easily:

• All

• Production Assistants

• Loading Operators

This makes it faster to check which employees you already hired and which roles are available for hire.

3. New Tutorials for Recent Features

We added tutorial entries to cover newer systems and unlocks that many players asked for clearer explanations on, including:

• Cold Storage 2 Building

• Overhead Conveyor and Vertical Lift

• Vendor Truck 3 Expansion

• Vendor Truck Employee Settings

These entries are available through the Tutorial menu so you can revisit the information at any time.

Once again, thank you very much for all your continued support and feedback. We are still tracking everything and prioritizing improvements based on feasibility and impact, while continuing to refine systems step by step. And we want to inform you that Factory Building Expansion is on the way. We are working on it actively, and we will share full details through a future devlog once it is ready.

If you encounter any issues after updating this version, please report them through the in-game Bug Report Menu and/or the Steam Discussions so we can investigate quickly.

See you in the next update! 🥗🚚
