Version v08 Beta - Patchnotes 26.2.16
Incremental Factory Patch Notes — February 21, 2026
Aggregated from Steam, cross-tracked with Battle.net coverage on GamePatchNote.
Bug Fixes:
Fixes fuseFactoryTech so it now properly unlocks the Fuse Factory (including localization and save backfill for already-completed research).
Fixes repair kit progression timing: Basic Repair Kit Factory Tech is now available before purple science (moved to Military Tech Tier 2 path).
Fixes overlapping same-direction hub connections (e.g. copper plates/cables stacking and becoming hard to select).
Fixes research unlock text mismatches:
Basic Electronics now only lists Gen 1 Chip Plant.
Silicon Production Tech now lists Silicon Furnace.
QoL Feature:
Adds Shift-drag axis lock in map view:
live horizontal/vertical lock switching while dragging,
in-canvas guide line + lock label,
clearer drag-origin indicator.
Live on v08-beta branch!
