Hello everyone!

new FOUNDRY update with a cool name "Cables & Creations" is coming next week, August 13th!

Upgrade your advanced processes and gain unprecedented control over your factory operations with the new Data Cables, or expand your creative horizons while delving into Steam Workshop with the addition of mod support. Endless possibilities will be there waiting to be explored when Cables & Creations come together in this update.

While the full patch notes will be revealed upon release, here is the list of the highlights:

Data Cables
Revolutionize your production lines with Data Cables. Connect and transfer data between machines, build your own logic and streamline your production process by setting precise conditions for machine and logistic operations.

These vessels move essential materials and are specialized in transporting liquids and gases. This addition ensures that your factory's liquid resources are managed with the same efficiency as your solid items.

I'm curious about this promising update. I could imagine a lot of (higher tier) assets and/or functions basing on these implementations throughout the early access phase. The final end could be a more or less central management station with different interactive displays to watch over all the productions chains all over the map (if cables or wireless uplinks are established)
I love this update already. Thumbs up!
