Object Factory v2.1 – Devlog Announcement

A new update for Object Factory is coming soon—and it’s already available on the beta branch for testing.

Version 2.1 builds on the foundation of 2.0 and pushes factory optimization even further, introducing parallel production challenges, efficiency tracking, and new ways to boost your score.

Here’s a first preview of what’s new:

• Parallel Goals (NEW) – Multiple objectives can now run at the same time, forcing you to design factories that handle competing demands simultaneously.

Some example setups include:

– One throughput-required goal running alongside others – Triple-goal scenarios like: → Two throughput goals → One goal shape objective

This means you can no longer optimize for a single pipeline—you’ll need balanced, scalable systems that perform under pressure.

• Throughput Counter Module (NEW) – A new module gives you direct insight into your production performance.

– Displays real-time throughput – Tracks efficiency of your factory – Helps identify bottlenecks and weak links

This turns optimization into a measurable system, making it easier (and more satisfying) to refine your layouts.

• Arcade Mode Score Bonus Update – Arcade Mode now rewards high-performance factories even more:

– Reach certain score per minute thresholds – Unlock up to x2 Goal Shape bonus

The better your factory performs, the more it scales—encouraging fast, efficient, and highly optimized builds.

Version 2.1 is focused on pushing players to think bigger: not just building working factories, but building systems that perform, scale, and adapt under multiple simultaneous demands.

More details soon. For now—get ready to optimize on multiple fronts at once.
