About this game

Hey developers, if you read this!

First of all, nice game. It has a lot of potential, especially when fix all the bugs and issues people are posting in the discussions page.

- There's a lot of work you have to yourself, like there's not much automation or upgrades that leads to more automation. The speed of the game feels very slow, like driving pallets from one place to another takes a lot of the time.
- Whenever I reload my game, the stairs to the tanks underground are vanished. I have to rebuild them (not a big issue, but still a small irritating bug.)
- One of my workers has the required level to operate the docks, still can't assign one to work there (I really don't know what to do)
- Make the small pallet lifter able to replace at office - somehow I managed to get mine underground and I can't get it up the ramps.
- More automation to the AI workers, for now they're just doing the bare minimum. Like moving full pallets to a pallet slot, moving empty pallets to a storage place maybe?
- I feel like the bottling room is too small. If you run like a small batch of 100L into bottles, the whole place fills up with packages. I've tried to run some conveyors, but with no results.
- Generally the ramps with the forklift and when something is on it - it's so annoying trying to run some pallets to the underground or even take an empty pallet back up, you will almost 8/10 times run into an issue where the forklift does a dancing show or something like that. I've spent so much time trying to fix it, but you either have to reload the forklift or the pallet and restart the process.
- One time where I was working on getting a pallet out of the van, it ended up on the side (might have fixed the problem after update 71) - but it went flying out on the road and landed on the other side of the road, unable to get it back, so a waste of money and had to buy a new pallet full of materials.

I will definitely keep playing as I can see you are working on updates and fixes the bugs people are posting about.

The game is good and has a lot of potential but in its current state it is more like an early access game with the lack of depth and bugs.

Even more annoying is the fact that it is more of a forklift driver simulator than anything else. You will spend 70 percent of your time driving pallets around from one place to another. Opposite of fun.

If they fix that by adding employees who can do that for you + all the bugs, then this will be a decent game eventually.

Latest updates

Beer Factory update - Sandbox (beta branch)

323 days ago
Hello everyone, I'm happy to bring you this update, which includes some new features, fixes and improvements. This update took a bit longer than expected, mainly due to the work involved in migrating data structures from Blueprint (Unreal Engine's visual scripting system) to C++. This transition removes the dependency on Blueprint-based structures, which are often unstable and can lead to unintended behavior. Moving to C++ makes the project more robust, stable, and scalable for future updates. From now the updates are first released on the beta branch for a few days to evaluate stability and gather feedback. If no major issues are found, the update is then merged into the main build and becomes available to all players. Sandbox The new Sandbox Mode lets you enjoy the game with complete freedom, without any objectives or progression constraints. It’s designed for players who want to experiment, build, test, or simply have fun without limits. In this mode, all content is available from the start, including late-game areas like the docks. You can develop your factory, try out different setups, or explore all game mechanics without needing to complete any progression milestones. It’s the perfect way to experience Beer Factory at your own pace, stress-free and unrestricted. Linux native support Beer Factory is now available with a native Linux build, no more Proton required. Welcome, Linux brewers! How to have access to the update Go to your Steam Library Right-click on Beer Factory Select Properties Go to the Betas tab Choose the desired beta build from the dropdown menu Note: For now, the "linux" and "linux_beta" branches are identical, as Linux support was only introduced starting from version 0.9.1. More details here Patch note: Changes & Improvements Added a new Sandbox Mode. Added native Linux support. Temporarily disabled the custom layer logo. Removed the redundant "Storage" upgrade in the computer UI. Employees now step aside when the forklift horn is used. Empl...

The future of Beer Factory

354 days ago
Hello everyone ! First off, a huge THANK YOU for sticking with Beer Factory, playing the game, and keeping this game lively. The Big NewsBefore anything we want you to know that the development of Beer Factory will resume and you will be provided by updates soon. We’re excited to share that a new partner studio has signed on to build Beer Factory 2! And so the owner of the IP has been transferred to MyceliumGames. Like mentioned previously, the work on Beer Factory 2 will start only after the work on Beer Factory 1 will be finished. Reality Check The last year’s been a tough slog for the original title, and—full transparency—that turbulence isn’t over. Some things are outside our control, but we’re committed to keeping the taps open and communication honest. Stay in Touch Got questions? You can join our discord and we will be happy to give you an answer Thanks again for keeping the dream fermenting. Here’s to the next chapter—cheers! — MyceliumGames
