Ore Factory Squad Demo Patch v1.7.0 Fixes Crashes, Expands Audio and Nighttime Systems

The demo for Ore Factory Squad received patch v1.7.0 on July 12, 2026, targeting a range of stability, progression, and usability issues as the game approaches its stated July 16 launch date.

What changed

Stability

• Fixed a crash affecting AMD RDNA3 users accessing FSR4
• Fixed a separate crash for AMD RDNA4 users when switching to FSR4
• Resolved several additional crash-related issues

Tutorial & Progression

• Fixed interactions with vehicles and forklifts becoming locked and showing incorrect "continue tutorial" warnings
• Fixed multiple tutorial issues that could block progression entirely

Gameplay & Systems

• Increased daytime length
• Reduced nighttime fatigue rate so characters lose energy more slowly
• Removed the restriction that prevented calling deliveries at night
• Added an automatic recovery system that teleports resources falling under the factory back to the surface

Audio & UI

• Machine sounds moved to a dedicated audio mixer with independent volume control
• Input and output device selection added for Voice Chat
• All in-game control bindings added to the Keybinding menu
• "Backpack Full" notification repositioned and given an animation

Bug Fixes

• Fixed the procedural digging shader appearing brighter than surrounding soil
• Fixed Mining Equipment being placeable inside the factory
• Fixed pallets being incorrectly placeable at the dig site
• Removed the Hammer interaction UI for moving or selling resource-laden pallets

For players who found the demo's nights punishing or its tutorial unreliable, this patch directly addresses both friction points before the full release arrives.
