- Factory Planner – Future Features Q4 2026 - 8 September 2026
We apologize for being quiet for so long. During this time, we’ve been working to resolve some serious optimization issues in Factory Planner. However, we eventually realized that the existing infrastructure simply wasn’t capable of reliably supporting a large number of cards, which meant we had to rebuild the game from the ground up. Over the past few months, Factory Planner has been completely rebuilt on a new foundation. We’re now approaching the finish line, and the new version of the game will be in your hands within the next few weeks. Before releasing the new version, we’ll be running a playtest. During this period, we’ll need your feedback and support to help us make the game as solid as possible before release. Thank you for sticking with us and for your patience throughout this process. We’ll have more to share very soon. Engineer Management PanelEngineers will no longer be di…
