- 0.5.0 Update - 12 March 2026
μFab v0.5.0 — Quantum Chips, Photonic Overhaul, Variant CardsNew Endgame Tier: Quantum Chips (QT15000)The quantum pipeline adds two new machines — the Quantum Splitter and Quantum Combiner — and the highest-value chip tier in the game. Split silicon into entangled alpha/beta wafers, etch them in separate dimensions (Pocket Dimension and Temporal Rift), then recombine into quantum wafers worth 1500x. Requires new Tier 9 research. - Very WIP currently, may be buggyPhotonic Chamber OverhaulLasers now display spectral colors based on frequency. Phase offset joins frequency and amplitude as a third tunable parameter. Processed wafers carry a spectral purity rating (up to +50% sell bonus). The chamber's processing animation now escalates through 4 visual phases. Defect tolerance is significantly more forgiving.Variant Card Pick SystemAfter each prestige, choose 1 of 3+ variant blueprint cards…

- Update 0.4.0 - 18 February 2026
μFab v0.4.0Performance, Polish & New Visual Effects A major update focused on making the game run significantly better, look more impressive, and fixing a pile of bugs. Major Performance Overhaul This update includes the largest performance pass yet. Expect meaningful FPS improvements, especially in late-game factories: Belt system rewrite — empty belts exit in 3 lines instead of running full logic; neighbor lookups, corner pivots, and input configs are all cached. 15–25% FPS gain with 200+ beltsLoads of other optimisations, too long to list. Frame Rate Limit Setting (Settings → Graphics) New option to set your target frame rate: 30 / 60 / 120 / 144 / 240 / Unlimited.Bug Fixes - Cloud save completely broken — cloud-save-manager.js was using the wrong localStorage key prefix for all read/write operations. Conflict detection, sync, restore, and auto-resolve all silently failed. Fixed - Ma…
