We've been hard at work tidying up Hue Factory and listening to your feedback. Today, we're rolling out a major update focused on late-game balance, accessibility, and some highly requested visual indicators to keep your production lines running smoothly.

Here is everything included in today's patch:

Main Updates

  • Color Assistance ModeWe have added a brand-new Color Assistance mode that adds text to indicate the color to ensure everyone can comfortably enjoy the color theory and blending mechanics.

  • Late-Game Quest Scaling: To balance the late game, quests will now dynamically scale the more you take them.

  • Dark Mode for All: The Default Dark theme is now unlocked for all players right from the start!

Quality of Life & Bug Fixes

Gameplay & UI:

  • Smarter Quest Rewards: Quest rewards will now always show 3 distinct options. No more duplicates taking up a reward slot!

  • Clearer SpawningLevels now have updated visuals to clearly indicate exactly which spots can and cannot spawn Creators.
  • Bite-Sized TutorialsWe’ve split up the Tutorial Cards to make them much easier to digest for new players.
  • Menu NavigationFixed inconsistencies with the Escape key menu. You can now reliably close all machine menus using ESC.

Visuals & Bug Fixes:

  • Visual SynchronizationFixed a bug where machine visuals weren't syncing properly when using the factory pause or fast-forward features.

  • Upgrade Syncing: Upgrade visuals are now perfectly synced across all machines on the factory floor.

  • Hotbar FixesResolved an issue that was causing hotbar highlighting to display incorrectly.
  • Save File InsuranceFixed a bug where the Box Insurance reward would not expire correctly when restoring a run from a save file.

Keep the feedback coming! We'd love to hear from you, whether it is overall feedback or a theme you think we should add. Join our Discord channel or create a post in the Steam Discussions.

Also, Hue Factory will be in the Best Indie Games Summer Showcase on Tuesday, 2nd June 2026. Tune in to see our new trailer and a bunch of awesome games hosted by Clemmy Games on YouTube!
