What changed in Demo V8?

On September 11, 2026 the developer posted Find The Needle Demo V8. The note lists:

  • The conveyor at the Hay Sell Stand now snaps
  • F toggles No Snap Mode for conveyors
  • E on a power pole shuts down the whole electricity network
  • Vacuum Yard price reduced by 80%
  • Power-network notification VFX when power drops below the required threshold
  • Higher jump height by default
  • Complete rework of conveyor snap with automatic pathfinding
  • New U-Splitters and U-Joiners
  • In-game tips replace the “Find The Needle Demo V8” placeholder text
  • Loose hay on the ground turns into hay tufts for FPS
  • Pellet Disc Machine gains BRICKS and HAY resource indicators
  • Additional bug fixes

Rebuild the sell line first

Rebuild awkward belt corners with the new snap, keep a clean line into the Hay Sell Stand, and learn F / E before a large redesign. Machine names that appear in this patch also sit in the machines index and the conveyors and power guide.

Play on the Demo app (5165210). For the Early Access date that follows the Demo, see launch time.
