• Big Progress: Belts, Baseplates, Snapping, and Game Feel - 3 June 2026

  Heyo!This month was a big one for Exofactory.I finished a lot of important factory-building pieces, including better belts, cleaner building placement, baseplates, and major improvements to how the Exoframe and Global Mode feel.You can read the full technical post here A Really Big One: Exoframe Feel, Finished Belts, & Baseplates.Belts Are Much Better NowBelts now look and behave much closer to how I want them to. They can handle straight lines, clean 90-degree turns, weird angles, and tight connections to buildings.Items also follow the belt surface properly, even across curves, which makes the whole thing feel much smoother.You can also raise belts while placing them, so crossing uneven ground or other factory parts is much easier.Buildings Can Snap Into PlaceFactories are much easier to organize now. Buildings can snap to inputs and outputs on other buildings, making it easier to lin…

• New Belts and Planning Feature - 3 May 2026

Then you can hop into an Exoframe and actually build the stuff you planned.The idea came partly from feedback from the October 2025 demo. A decent number of people understood the mechanics, but weren’t always sure what they should be working toward. Which, yeah, fair. So this is one of the first steps toward giving the game a clearer long-term direction without…

• Hotfix: Performance Improvements - 14 October 2025

  Hotfix 2025-10-14 #2The terrain shader was also preemptively handling terrain splat maps.
