Happy to announce the final revamp of the battle mechanics of the game before major playtesting! In terms of gameplay, this is the "final" patch before moving into a beta state, and draws out my original vision of the space war simulation aspect of the game.

*    Missiles have arrived! They are the first AoE weapon with a relatively small damage radius but effective now that ...
*    Same-faction collision has been turned off. Ships on the same side no longer bump into each other
*    Auxiliary guns now fire at half speed - their startup and cooldowns are doubled. This will become much more relevant with the addition of energy weapons and utilities and serves as a balance lever
*    Lasers have been added! They are close range but do incredible amounts of damage over long windups and cooldowns. They'll cut through most ships in no time, but they'll have to soak up a lot of damage to get to that point
*    A rebalancing pass of modifiers, stats, and weapons has been done. Too many things have changed to note here, but it sets up the next stage of battle changes which are smaller in scope but quite impactful
*    Resistance changes - physical, heat, and electrical resistance stats have been changed to allow stacking without being overpowering. Even a small boost in physical resistance is a pretty big deal now and virtually required end game
*    Damage indicators - Damage now accumulates in floating text whenever ships take a hit
*    Battle rewards are significantly upgraded. Every 25 levels of ships introduces new scrap that can be smelted into correspondingly higher bars
*    Lots of bug fixes and tweaks

Hey Panda Peeps,

The ominous, shadowy clock in the hall has struck the hour… The time has come… The game is afoot…

The Murder Mystery Event has begun!

Grab your notepads, magnifying glasses, and deerstalker hats, dear Peeps, and click the event icon at the top of your game screen to take part in a murder mystery party like no other! Get close to the party’s host, the various suspects, and even the murder victim himself as you hunt for clues and try to work out the identity of the killer. Just pay no mind to the man upstairs - he may be the master of this uncanny mansion, but he doesn’t care to get too involved in what happens inside its walls…

Just kidding! We were trying to sound mysterious, but actually, the man upstairs is your reward character: the well-mannered, soft-spoken Xianyun! He’s all new and fully-dateable… but in order to unlock him in your main game, you need to complete all your Event Goals before time runs out! You only have until March 28th… and did we mention he’s only available in the Murder Mystery Event?

Time’s ticking!

We love you so hard,

The Pandas

Version 2.0.42 released as stable

Hello everyone!

The secret is starting to get out: the FACEMINER soundtrack goes harder than it has any right to. And though the in-game artist names might throw you off the scent a little, the credit for this lies solely with the musician, record producer and composer known as **Madwreck**.

I'm pleased to report that the OST is now available to buy and stream almost anywhere. That means you don’t have to load the game up just to listen to the soundtrack anymore (I know you are out there). Instead, grab it here on Steam, or on any of your favorite streaming or download platforms.

And, unlike the in-game versions which have been compressed for period-accuracy, the songs you will find on these platforms are presented in their full, maximum fidelity glory.

Happy listening /!\

FACEMINER

PSA: The FACEMINER OST Is Now Available on Steam, And Everywhere Else

*   Fixed resources on storage platforms disappearing in some areas sometimes
*   Fixed resources on the storage platforms greatly favouring spreading to the right
*   Fixed mine buffer chests not being properly sold when selling rails

1.3.6 Bug fixes

Hello! Hope everyone is doing well.

I've needed to push the release date for Nomad Idle back, but fortunately only by one week. Instead of it releasing on March 28th, it will now release on _**April 4th**_.

Nomad Idle

New Release Date - April 4th

Hello again! I've been secretly working hard on a true sequel to Factory Town. It takes place on a series of tropical islands, where you're building up a town at the foot of a giant (but friendly) volcano. There's more items, buildings, transportation gadgets, a day/night cycle, rotational power, electricity, flowing water & waterfalls, an optional controllable avatar, and lots more that will be developed & announced over the next several months.

Estimated launch date is loosely in late 2025, but definitely could get into 2026 based on how development goes. It now has a 'Coming Soon' page on Steam so you can wishlist it and get a notice whenever it releases!
