Alchemy Factory

[h3] АД ПЕРФЕКЦИОНИСТА [/h3] В начале игра и правда понравилась, что то необычное, строишь завод на столе, смотришь циферки, пытаешься оптимизировать. Интересно ровно до того момента, пока не дойдешь до этих сраных питомников... Кто это придумал? Очень хотелось бы посмотреть на этого персонажа. Посмотрите внимательнее на положительные отзывы, львиная доля не наиграла и 20 часов. Полной автоматизации в игре нет. Есть иллюзия автоматизации - когда дойдете до питомников поймете о чем я говорю. Для питомников всегда нужно удобрение, ладно, с обычными удобрениями там еще попроще, а когда будет улучшенное удобрение? А когда вы захотите все это оптимизировать? Вас кончат на месте. Не говоря о том, что дальше этих улучшенных удобрений там есть еще СУПЕР ПУПЕР ГИПЕР УЛУЧШЕННОЕ УДОБРЕНИЕ, на котором игра вас обкончает и не даст салфетку. Знаете почему в игре можно и нужно покупать отдельные территории? Да чтобы делать эти сраные удобрения с этими сраными питомниками, худшая механика из всех, что я когда либо видел в заводостроях. На счет того, что жалуются на монетки в отзывах, не особо понятно, доход в игре сделать меньше, чем расходы еще постараться надо. Игра для мазохистов

Seemed more fun in concept than in practice. I was hoping for less factory focus and more shopkeep, and the abliity to get to the more alchemy or magical themed items feels like it took quite a bit longer than necessary. The game feels very barren anywhere outside of the main interactable item areas, and working with such small items with only a standing and crouched height can be a pixel finding game a lot of times. Needs quite the qol overhaul before it's in a recommendable state. If it wasn't for making things in multiplayer with friends I would have easily gotten worn out with this after the first few machines.

I like the underlying concept but it has a lot of unresolved jank. Some of this I hope will be polished up for the final release but until then I'm not holding my breeath. - The build controls are a bit weird, and not as smooth as other factory games that have figured this stuff out. - It would be nice to be able to see through constructions to build underneath, but not sure if the game is capable of patching that in. - Some ratios are way off. Upgrading your machine processing speed can throw this off further, so spend skill points wisely, or learn to live with things being off ratio. - The graphics are janky, but for a shop sim, that's kind of expected, and oddly charming. - The shopkeeper side of the game is lacklustre. It sounds weird to say it but people enjoy operating registers and giving change in those kinds of games. Just hitting 'E' on everything when a customer comes isn't really gameplay. You also can't set prices or compare them to market prices, so the core gameplay loops of a market sim is missing entirely. It's just set dressing. I still enjoy this game's concept, and I may end up playing it more once the full version comes out, but as it stands I just don't like it as much as I would like to.

That's probably the most fun i've ever had in a game in the last years. Absolutelly awesome! The progression, the difficulty, the beauty of the machines, the sounds, how you have to use your brain. I'm almost out of words to describe how much fun i had with this game, everything seems to fit, the machines, the fact you have to sell the goods, the upgrades. Fun fun fun fun fun fun!

Some things of note. This is one of those fantasy shop games that runs off an asset store template. You know them when you see it. That said, the store part is just for off-loading resources, the actual game is a rather well made factory game. The one noticeable difference here is that your factories are small models, train set scale, and are very stackable. Things go vertical without being overwhelming because it only comes up to your shoulders. Transport uses a lot of throwing items around, even across floors. The end result makes the factory really look like a fantasy workshop with things flying all over the place. So far, early game hits good enough notes to be worth a recommend. I'll upgrade late game once I get there.

This looked really promising in Early Access, but I was disappointed in the 1.0 release. Much of the jank that was excusable for an Early Access game was left unaddressed, and the "shop" aspect is incredibly shallow. If you removed the gold cost of items and just threw your products into the void, the gameplay would be identical. This might be a cynical take, but I get the impression the dev made a lot of money in early access and simply decided to go enjoy being rich instead of working anymore.

I really wanted to love this game. For the first hour I actually did, but after nearly 5 hours I think I am done for now. The biggest problem is it feels more like FarmVille than a factory game. I currently have 26 plant plots, all growing flax, and I still can't keep up with demand. I am only trying to make bandages. For the amount of plants I need, I am spending more time farming and restocking inputs than actually building a factory. For a factory game I shouldn't constantly be waiting on plants to grow. The whole point for me is that as you progress you automate the things you were doing manually. Here I feel like the further I get, the more things I have to run around and keep stocked. It also feels like content over substance at the moment. There are hundreds of recipes and items, progression trees, quests and loads of things to unlock, but I have had the same quest sitting in my mailbox for about 5 hours because I simply can't produce enough flax to make the bandages. There is loads of content there, but the balancing is stopping me from actually getting to it. I also think they have concentrated too much on the aesthetics and the "look how cool it is having items flying about" side of things. You can't even put furniture properly against walls because items need space to be thrown into the shelves. Just let me feed a conveyor belt into storage. It would look less flashy, but it would actually be useful. The recipes also seem overly convoluted, with basic materials like flax being required by multiple production chains in huge quantities. Instead of feeling like I have solved an earlier part of the factory and can move on, I am constantly going back and restocking the same inputs. The actual concept is really good. Making products, stocking a shop and having customers come in and buy everything is a great idea, and visually the game is lovely. But having put thousands of hours into Factorio and Dyson Sphere Program, this is nowhere near the balancing or feeling of progression those games give you. In those games, building more eventually means doing less manually. Here, building more seems to mean giving yourself more chores. It is Early Access, so I will absolutely check back in 6 months and see what has changed because I genuinely want to love this game. Right now though, it feels like they added hundreds of things to make before making sure that making them was actually fun. Content over substance, unfortunately.

Ich zock schon seit NES-Zeiten und für mich ist größtenteils die Luft raus was das Gaming betrifft aber bei diesem Game, keine Ahnung warum, fühl ich wieder diese "am liebsten 24 Stunden am Stück zocken" Zeiten. Es macht übelst abhängig. Hier noch was optimieren. Da noch was schöner bauen. Dopaminüberschuss des Grauens xD
