You can post your suggestions for the game here. It could be useful. I give no guarantee that I will implement them.
It would probably make sense to separate the hitboxes for structures into a passive blue hitbox and an active orange hitbox, and I do think that it is a good idea, as it would make it more clear to the player how and where structures interact with things. For now tho, when it comes to the gates, if you want to place stuff overlapping their door hitbox, you can open the gate temporarily by inverting it, then place the structure, after which you can close the gate again.
Markers
from 2 chocolates you can craft a marker, it can be plased anywhere and will be usefull for marking targets/sourses
(also can have multiple variants)
Some recipes require temperature ranges that are 5 wide, but the temperature setting on the Inspector panel only lets you adjust in denominations of 10, so lining them up can be pretty awkward. Is there a way that could be rectified, like making the recipe temperature ranges bigger or more centered on temps divisible by 10? Like, maybe this one could be +5 to -5 so you can aim for 0.
Edit: Also, apparently the threshold for the cooler is treated the same way irrespective of whether you're looking at inventory, product, or temperature, so I can't use the Inspector do any logic based off of how many items are inside it since the threshold goes up and down by 10 while it can only hold 6 items.
That last thing is an oversight which I'll fix. When it comes to lining up the temperature, you can use the > setting instead of >=, so then the cryo generator is only active if its above 0 and it never drops below 0.
add and gate, L.G.+L.G.+ scrap, have target and sourse, can be negated, and may by can change modes before plasing (and, or, mb xor)
Nand, or, xor examples, and i know that it in higer res. but this is just example
Yes, so the gates react to gates as well as items, so the orange gate sees that the red/blue gates are closed and reacts to that (and stays open because it's inverted), and then when red and blue are open, the orange gate no longer sees them and instead sees the item underneath (which it reacts to by closing since items always give a true signal and the gate is inverted).
The yellow part of the logic gate doesn't have collision detection when placing the gate, so you can place it over anything. Open logic gates also don't have collision where the yellow part would have been, so you can place things overlapping that.
Yeah I honestly gotta admit that having blueprints you can create and place down would be a game changer. I think the only annoying part of Gain Factory is when I'm making a huge farm and I have to place every part individually over and over, but I don't know what engine it's running on so I honestly don't know if it's even possible to do this.
I haven't done blueprints because it would be very hard to do with the current code. Blueprints would be very good to have, and definitely possible, but it would take a lot to make it work.
I would have made the max size 20 or something, but every level is close to 700 frames of animation I need to edit or at least duplicate and look over, so it would be too much work. The two extra cowgirl boob levels are exclusive to cowgirls because cowgirls have more powerful boobs than other characters, so the player simply isn't powerful enough. Also you can probably edit the savefile and set the boobs level of the player to 11 or 12, but the game will crash if you load the save and you're wearing a different bra than the cowgirl one.
That is a very fair complaint, the controls aren't the smoothest always (and I always need to double check what the combo actually was when replying to people asking for help). It seems that the controls are a big barrier for people when playing the game, and I kinda painted myself into a corner with how I designed things, like the shift + left click for taking stuff out the output slot was because left click was already in use for taking stuff out of the input stack, and that in turn is because I really didn't want inventory ui to be a thing in this game.
If it helps, the recipe book has a [ ? ] button that opens the controls cheat sheet. In hindsight it isn't the most obvious thing to click for controls help (given that it's in the recipe book), and definitely it should have been in the options menu as well. I can't fix it at the moment, but I could actually add the controls cheat sheet to the description for the game on itch.
