Hello! Progress on AutoForge has been great and I wanted to share a little of what we've been working on. I have been focused on solidifying the features planned for Early Access launch such as the fluid system. Our artist has been meticulously placing pixels for all of the new content we are introducing which includes multiple new biomes, many new factory machines and lots of items. Everything is looking amazing!
To quench your thirst for details, let me introduce you to how fluids will work in AutoForge. As you explore the world you'll encounter wellsprings for various fluid types such as water and lava. Once you've advanced through the technology tree you'll be able to craft pumps and pipes. A pump can be placed over the top of a wellspring to extract the fluids within. From the pump you can route the fluids to your factory through pipes.

A wellspring can never be exhausted but it does has a maximum throughput. Once a source, such as a Wellspring, is hooked up to a sink, such as a Lava Forge, the fluid instantly travels from the source to the sink. The closer the sink is to the source the higher priority it has.

That's it for this update but we have much more in the works we'll be sharing with you. Thanks for your continued support and patience so far!
