Hey everyone! As you know, our game is about building a Factory (duh!). And while we're maintaning an incredibly relaxed and fluffy atmosphere, factory vibe implies constant pushing forward, to new frontiers, better production, and, eventually, the Catopia!
That said, here we are with yet another major update for the game. We've got plans to keep them coming, too.
We hope you enjoy it, and don't forget to share your impressions in the comments or on our Discord server!
