Craftomation 101: Programming & Craft

Hello mates! Friends, we’ve come to you with some pretty exciting news. First of all, the Programming Festival starts today! It’s a very special event for everyone who enjoys games about programming, automation, logic, and making tiny machines do suspiciously large amounts of work. As you can imagine, that sounds very much like our kind of festival. And the timing is especially nice this year, because Craftomation 101 is leaving Early Access and releasing in full on September 14! If the game is still sitting somewhere outside your wishlist, now is a good time to fix that. And if you already own Craftomation, don’t forget to update on September 14 and check out the full release. Our biggest Craftomation discount so far To celebrate both the Programming Festival and the upcoming release, Craftomation 101 is currently at the biggest discount in its history. Bundles! And there’s one more thing: for the festival and release, we managed to put together two lovely bundles with other automation games. So if your idea of relaxation involves programming, optimization, have a look at the bundles on the Steam store. We’re really happy to celebrate the release together with other games that als

Craftomation 101 Leaves Early Access on September 14! Hello mates! Big news from the workshop today — actually, this might be the biggest news since we landed on this snowy planet. Craftomation 101 leaves Early Access on September 14! After two and a half years in Early Access, almost 40 updates, arrays, functions, new maps, new blocks, and thousands of robots doing things their creators definitely did not program them to do, Craftomation 101 will reach its full release on September 14, 2026. We could not have built this game without you. Every save file, bug report, suggestion, and “my robot walked into the fire again” screenshot helped shape the release version. Thank you, mates. Seriously. The price is going up — here’s the honest part With the full release, Craftomation 101 is growing up a little — and so is its price. On August 10, the price will increase from $9.99 to $14.99. We want to be open about this before it happens. Steam does not allow us to run a discount within 30 days of a price increase, so we are changing the price ahead of time. This will let us welcome the full release with a proper launch discount while giving everyone fair warning about the new price. What d

Hello mates! Tiny news, but very important for automation-based happiness. Today we released a Steam startup movie for Craftomation 101, featuring our hardworking little craftomates. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41979260/9cc671e170feed0704ec6fb1344b3216416b0f6f.png Yes, that means every time you launch your Steam Deck or Big Picture Mode on PC, you can now be greeted by tiny robots who are probably already thinking about logs, sticks, benches, production chains, and why someone left all the berries in the wrong chest again. You can get the startup movie with Steam Points in the Steam Points Shop. How to equip the startup movie on Steam Deck Just press Equip Now in the Shop, and Steam should take care of the rest. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41979260/86fce71a85610f67549d20a925997ebc57e93d79.png How to find the startup movie on PC Open Steam on your PC.

Hello mates! A small update from the workshop: there will be no regular patch this time. No, we have not abandoned the game. Quite the opposite — we are currently sprinting full steam toward release. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41979260/f2026c797c3f16530acf04bc505ac14fb12e6b00.gif Right now most of our attention is on the bigger features and changes that we want to bring to you with the release version. That means the usual flow of patch notes may be a bit quieter for a while. So what about bug fixes? We are still working on fixes, quality-of-life improvements, and changes based on your feedback. Reports, saves, screenshots, and suggestions from players are still very useful for us, and we will keep rolling out the improvements that make sense to ship now. But the biggest stuff is currently being tested and prepared carefully before release. And this is where we need your help If you are curious to see what we are cooking — and would like to help us test it — you can take part in testing a closed version of the game. We will ask you to play a specific part of the game and either: record your playthrough for us, or answer a written survey after playing. Both options help us a lot. Watching h
