You can select this mode when starting a new game.In Sandbox Mode, all things are unlocked, and you can build without resources. We also added Input / Output Portal and Flask for testing production lines. This mode is perfect for Blueprint designers or players who want to play Alchemy Factory with no stress.Additionally, this update includes some performance optimizations. We have adjusted our multithreading strategy by offloading more calculations to background threads. This improves FPS and smoothness of the Game Thread.
