Dear Manufacturers,
We are excited to announce that Car Manufacture will launch in Early Access on August 1st, 2024, at 6:00 PM CEST.
We sincerely appreciate your ongoing patience, support, and feedback. We believe the game is now ready for everyone to enjoy and will serve as a solid foundation for future content and feature updates.
Long time no see, but fear not, we are still there and working hard towards the release.
Keep in mind that we are a very small studio, consisting of only two people. Sometimes we cannot devote our time to keep everything in check as we would like. However, we do take time to hear your opinions and consider your feedback.
We are now working closely with our QA Team fixing final bugs and tweaking the game balance.
Without further ado, let's see what has changed since the last playtest.
Tutorial
The game introduction is now extended. It provides more helpful information and now includes object removal, sales, technology, and research. On finishing it, you are ready to conquer any of the Challenges.
Challenge (ex-Scenario)
There are a few sets of challenges awaiting you, featuring some non-standard elements. You've inherited a parking lot, but be quick with selling these goods, as the thief is prowling the local area. Or perhaps you are interested in ensuring the highest quality of cars for the UFO, risking your workers' lives and your warehouse supplies. Sounds fun? We got more!
Free Play
The good old standard mode. Customize your settings and rules. Take your time and relax, exploring different maps, discovering over 60 various car models and upgrading your factory to its fullest potential.
Workers
We've decided to replace the previous stats system with a simpler, yet more intuitive and precise leveling system. Unlock the Employee Zone, make room for rest and place new fun items that will make your workers even more effective. Consider every worker's level, energy, happiness, and incentives to ensure perfect harmony within your factory. Or just exploit it for the money, I guess?
Technologies
Some of the latest conveniences in the Tech Tree are the visuals of upgrade effects, now combining a few entries of the same type. Furthermore, some techs now require additional conditions, allowing for a smoother transition toward the mid and late-game instead of relying heavily on factory finances.
Help Tables
With the more advanced technologies, we introduce new gameplay features into the game. Whenever you feel lost, you can access the Help Tables, which describe pretty much the entire game.
Game Summary
After the game, discover more details about your journey with the brand-new UI.
Game Performance
We constantly strive for a more stable and optimized game in every given scenario while implementing new features. Human unit avoidance is now enhanced. Also, there is an additional new faster speed mode.

Recently, we've introduced a new interaction layer for the Play/Factory Mode. We can now select various units in order to look up their detailed data and proceed with more advanced actions.
Select Workers to get a quick lookup at their current stats, employment time, etc. Here we can adjust their income and in the future manage the training. It's also a faster way to fire unwanted employees.
Interact with Cars to get more in-depth info about their ongoing production, as well as mark them for special operations with recently added workshops (such as repair and dismantling).
Finally, we can now select Clients. Analyze what's their background and wants. Provide some extraordinary service which will affect their happiness and patience.

Production of high-quality cars is essential for boosting your factory's reputation.
To make top-notch cars, we need to think about a few things. Quality is the outcome of both the skills of your mechanics and the quality of resources used in putting the car together.
Manage your current market deals with several suppliers, each having its pros and cons.
Check the quality of products on an assembly line with the use of a Quality Station. But keep in mind that using this station might slow down your production a bit.
If you choose to do so later, with the use of Repair Workshop you can either analyze or try increasing the car's quality.
If you are unhappy with the cars you built, you can always send them to Dismantling Workshop, which will break a car into parts for later reuse.
Or feel free to use a Shredder and turn your car into dust.

It's time to reveal another feature available in Car Manufacture.
Assembly Robots are the mid-to-end-game technology designed to improve the efficiency, speed, and precision of the assembly process, ultimately enhancing the overall production output of cars.
Currently, there are three types of Assembly Robots available, each with its unique capabilities. They differ in the maximum capacity of stored resources, space taken, as well as the speed of performing assembly operations.
Upon selecting an Assembly Robot you can access Orders UI in which you can tailor the machine's operations to the specific requirements. Configure which parts should be assembled and what's the logistics behind the transport of the resources.

It has been already 2 weeks since we launched Car Manufacture: Prologue. We are happy for every feedback we've received as it helps us make the game better. At the same time, this devlog goes live, the new Prologue update is released. You can read more about the changes here.
This time we want to give you some more insight into a brand new feature - Workers Assignment.
In order to create a well-functioning car factory we need to make sure that every worker does his job as efficiently as possible. When you first start with a single assembly line things seem pretty normal. But as the factory advances we need to ensure some proper management.
You can now assign a mechanic to each individual assembly line. It's as simple as selecting the Assembly Line and providing targeted workers amount.
If you are in need of more micromanagement and would like to pick a specific worker. You can do so via Workers UI.
By clicking Assignment Info on Worker you can also get some insight into which conveyor it's assigned to and click it to select the targeted assembly line.
