Alchemy Factory Release Date — 1.0 Launch, Price, Platforms and Co-op

Alchemy Factory released version 1.0 on 7 September 2026, ending its Early Access period. It costs $17.99 in the US on Windows, and the 1.0 patch delivered the features the Early Access roadmap had promised: the Grand Portal, the Wagon Logistics System, a rebuilt Reputation System and revamped shopkeeping. Developer D5 Copperhead and publisher Gamirror Games shipped it with 55 achievements and full co-op support.

Release Date and Status

The Steam store page lists Sep 7, 2026 and the description opens with "Alchemy Factory 1.0 is out now", so this is the full-release date rather than the start of Early Access. The community Codex still carries a 0.5.4471 Early Access version stamp from before 1.0, which is the clearest evidence that the game spent time in Early Access before the September 2026 launch.

What 1.0 Delivered

The description frames 1.0 around connecting production, transport and sales more tightly. Each headline feature maps to a part of the late game, which is why the update mattered more to players already deep into a factory than to new ones.

1.0 feature	What it added
Grand Portal	A headline late-game structure
Wagon Logistics System	Long-distance transport for large factories
Rebuilt Reputation System	Reworked reputation for the shop side
Revamped shopkeeping	Updated sales and shop management

The Codex also treats the release as a version boundary for advice, because upgrade base values and item tables collected during Early Access may have shifted — so numbers published before 1.0 should be treated as to confirm.

Platforms, Price and Co-op

The store API reports Windows only, with macOS and Linux false, and no console version is referenced anywhere official, so console dates are not documented yet. Co-op is a first-class feature: the store page lists single-player, multiplayer, co-op, online co-op and LAN co-op, plus a dedicated server option for long-term group play. The store description also confirms Steam Workshop support for sharing factory blueprints and Steam Cloud for saves.

Feature	Documented
Co-op	Online and LAN, plus a dedicated server
Steam Workshop	Yes, for factory blueprints
Steam Cloud	Yes
Family Sharing	Yes
Achievements	55
Genres	Casual, Indie, Simulation, Strategy

• Console dates and the exact Early Access start date are not documented yet.

A demo is referenced by at least one third-party tracker, but whether a demo is currently downloadable is not documented by the official sources, so to confirm before planning around it. For what 1.0's systems ask of you, see the walkthrough, and for the production behind them, see the guide.
