It's extraordinarily helpful for visibility of the game, as well as personally driving me to make Factory Default the best game it can be.The main goals for 0.0.8 were moving the story forward and more quality of life features.

  Hello everyone!Welcome to the official Steam page for Factory Default: Build, Trade, Repeat! I am Chett Fitzgerald, the solo developer behind the game.I started building Factory Default as the game I have been hoping someone else would make for years.
