  update v0.27.0

  Hello, Factory Managers!This is the second balance adjustment patch for the Early Access version. In addition to fixes designed to reduce reliance on randomness and make it easier to develop repeatable strategies, this update includes new portals and power balance adjustments to existing contracts.We’ve also heard concerns about not wanting to implement nerfs that might detract from the fun of the game. We’re paying close attention to this issue and will continue to ensure “the exhilaration of seeing various elements, such as contracts, dynamically change gameplay”“the strategic diversity that allows players to inflate production capacity in various ways”“a challenging difficulty level that encourages player growth”We will continue to strive to ensure that all of these elements are achieved in a well-balanced manner.Please note that the current environment is, strictly speaking, a temporary one limited to Early Access. We plan to add two more sponsors in the future, so the game environment should become even more dynamic in upcoming patches.Specifically, the number of possible sponsor combinations will double with the next addition, and then increase to 3.5 times the current number with the addition of the following sponsor. This will further expand the range of playstyles based on these combinations, allowing us to offer an even fresher and more engaging experience. However, balancing the game will simultaneously become increasingly difficult. Until we achieve our ideal gaming experience, your accumulated play data and feedback will be indispensable.We sincerely appreciate your continued support for the time being.
