Needlestack
500,000,000 strands of hay. 7 needles. One ridiculous factory - now with friends.
New in 3.0 - Co-op Haulage: play with up to 10 friends with push-to-talk voice chat, a brand-new hangar open to the sky, a 58 m tower of hay, trucks and orders, building on up to 5 levels, long belts, rain and Season 3 leaderboards.
A giant hangar hides a tower of hay - and somewhere inside it, seven needles. Start with your bare hands, sell hay for a few cents, and grow into a fully automated factory that sifts, bales, stacks, scans and ships its way through the pile until every needle is found.

Features
- Co-op for 1 to 10 players - money, research, orders and reputation are shared, everyone keeps their own tools. Hold C to talk: push-to-talk voice chat with the whole crew.
- A real haystack - 500 million strands in a 58 m tower: dig into it, watch it slump and collapse, and reach the needles buried deep inside.
- Trucks and orders - customers back up to the loading dock. Load their bales or bale stacks before the clock runs out for pay, stars and reputation. Four customer tiers, rush and scanned-only orders - and a needle shipped by mistake comes back as a complaint.
- Build in height - roof panels make decks on up to 5 levels, with stairs and ladders. Put machines on every floor.
- Long belts - drag one belt across the hall, up a 20 degree slope and round a 90 degree bend.
- 7 needles, 7 stories - each needle you find adds a page to your journal. Two of them are wrapped: only the Needle Scanner Mk2 sees them.
- Every game is different - the needles hide in a new place for every player and every new game.
- 5 tools - hands, toy shovel, steel shovel, rake and pitchfork. Carry and pour with buckets, wheelbarrows and big bags.
- 22 machines and structures - conveyors, long belts, splitters, mergers, hoppers, robotic arms, piston rakes, hay harvesters, separators, balers, pellet presses, bale stackers, needle scanners, sell chutes, generators, boilers, power poles, roof panels, stairs and ladders.
- Rain - showers fall through the open roof and slow every machine without a roof panel above it.
- 43 technologies to research, 28 objectives and missions, 35 achievements.
- Online leaderboards by season - Fortune, Hay Cleared, Haulage and Fastest Finish.
- Played Season 1 or 2? Keep your old game in the old hangar or move to Season 3 - your choice, switch any time from the journal. No save is ever deleted.
- Autosave - come back any time and continue where you left off.
