Out of Ore – Version 0.30
Type	Major update
Release date	July 11, 2025
Steam announcement	View on Steam
Summary	Introduces automatic manufacturing, pipelines, and fluid systems. Adds new production units, expanded company management, and upgraded fuel mechanics, pushing Out of Ore toward fully automatable mining and refining workflows.

Update 0.30 – Automatic Manufacturing is a major update to Out of Ore, introducing pipelines, pumps, automatic crafting, expanded fuel mechanics, company management improvements, and a large expansion of production automation systems. This version also includes several new machines, new fluids, redesigned crafting chains, and the first steps toward large-scale power automation.

Summary

Version 0.30 continues the progression from the Conveyor & Power overhaul (0.29) by adding full support for **fluid systems** and **automated production lines**. Water pumps and oil pumps can now feed production buildings directly, increasing yield and enabling continuous operation. New production units introduce automatic smelting, refining, ore sorting, and rod rolling, forming the backbone of the new steel production chain.

Automation will continue to expand in future updates until all production chains can be fully automated.
