Industry Giant 4.0 launched into Early Access in November 2024, but update 1.0 won’t be a return to form many players hoped, as the game will no longer receive content updates.
In an update on Steam, the developers say, “now, as we reach this milestone, we must share that there will be no further major updates or new features in the foreseeable future. Still, Industry Giant 4.0 will remain available and fully playable for everyone who wishes to experience it, and we’ll continue to fix any serious issues that may arise. This decision was not made lightly and we wish we would have more positive news to share about the future of the game. We know how much this project means to many of you – and it means just as much to us. Though our development journey is coming to an end, we’re proud of what we’ve built together: a heartfelt, modern tribute to a series that inspired so many.”
The end of the road
Here are the final Industry Giant 4.0 patch notes:
Improved
- We changed the passive demand of cities. Products offered in stores that do not align with the city’s demand are now sold to residents as bargains with a 50% discount. A visual indicator and a tooltip has been added for these bargain purchases.
- We optimized the supply calculation for town buildings. Before the change, town buildings calculated their supply rate multiple times simultaneously. This was not a performance issue but could become one as cities grow or if the supply calculation function changes.
Fixes and changes
- We fixed some crashes that occurred when deleting a building connected to a line.
- We removed the “Difficulty level” option from scenario settings because it offered little benefit beyond the Budget and Price options.
- We fixed several text and localization issues.
- The achievement “Straight from University” (Finish the Tutorial) now works as intended.
