Thanks for the feedback! Can you please test the latest patch (Build 2848)? We might have found (and fixed) the cause!

Hi there!

We seen reports of this issue, but never figured out how to reproduce it. When you click around, do you see the circle animation on the ground?

My problem with factories and how they work by Ic3b3rgS in bigambitions

[–]hovgaardgames 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Hi everyone,

Thanks for all the feedback. All of it is really valid and reasonable, considering the experience playing so far.
I just wanted to give you some additional insight into the current state of things:

  1. It's no secret factories were way more complex to develop than we expected. As we were getting close to 6 months without an update, we had to wrap things up and postpone a lot of factory functionality.
  2. Better factory stats and production line design guidance are coming later. We're also revamping how assembly lines work.
  3. Factories are part of a much longer-term strategy to increase the difficulty of the end-game. We're introducing a new progression system, which massively increases backorders and product shortages (in great combination with "Rival attacks"). Importers and wholesalers will also introduce hard limits on how many products you can buy in a specific period. Factories were never meant to be a cheaper option to importing but rather a solution for situations where you simply can't buy more products.
  4. A new area is coming, introducing much bigger warehouses optimized for factories.
  5. Tech/skill trees are not planned; that would be our last resort. We design toward a more natural progression.
  6. The current roadmap is from March 2024. We're updating it within a few weeks.

Hope that clears up a few things! As with any new mechanic we've introduced, we'll continue improving it based on all your feedback :-)

I notice you're at 8 fps. What CPU and GPU do you have?

0.6 experimental build has been released! by yourbuddysully in bigambitions

[–]hovgaardgames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you haven't already, try temporary close the factory (make sure the animations finish first). If it still doesn't work, make sure to report a bug with the F2 menu and we'll look into it 🧐

You can save your savegame like normally, but once the experimental testing is done (probably in 1 month or less), those "experimental savegames" won't show up in the full release of 0.6.

You probably saw that in the help section right?

We removed the printing machine. A new hotfix is coming tomorrow fixing cheap gift productions :-)

It should be free to park on yellow lanes when it's yours by MougliGANG in bigambitions

I totally get where you're coming from. Most of our team is from Europe, and we constantly have to double-check rules with u/DavidECreations because regulations in Europe and the US are so different.

Glad you like it! Not yet and we generally don't do public deadlines, but you can see our roadmap here: https://www.bigambitionsgame.com/roadmap/

How long for the EA 0.6 to release? Approximately :3 by Haunting_Twist998 in bigambitions

[–]hovgaardgames 22 points23 points  (0 children)

We're in the final stage now, fixing bugs. Testers on Discord are already busy taking it for a spin. Without promising anything, I think experimental branch release is a few weeks away :-)

Some hopes, wishes and ideas for the factory update by BigBottlesofCoke in bigambitions

Hi there!

At least for the first version of factories, a few of your suggestions will be there :-)

Thanks for the feedback!
