Alchemy Factory

数值还有优化的空间，传送带运力和某些机器的产能简直低得令人发指

Basically if you combine My Time at Portia, Satisfactory, and Supermarket Together. Normally I would find such a gutsy crossover as "not really doing any of them particularly well", but in this case, it works. Automation games are my favorite, I'm always looking for something new to play in that genre. This one hit my radar because it looks Satisfactory-esque. I think if you come into it thinking that (as I initially did), you will be disappointed. It definitely has that flavor, but the game plays way more like something like My Time at Portia than it does Satisfactory. Maybe even a little bit of a Hydroneer feel to it. Don't get me wrong, it's a lot of fun. I appreciate that it's pretty chill. It lets you do a lot of things, but doesn't demand you do them all immediately like some games do. You can just kinda do your own thing and it works. There's definitely some jank factor here. I've played worse, but I've played better. I think it's still Early Access so that's to be expected. Overall it doesn't distract too much from the fun. If you're looking for the next Satisfactory, or Foundry, or Dyson Sphere Program, I don't think this is it. If you want something like Portia that is somehow both more cottagecore and also more nerdy engineering, this one hits a niche sweet spot that I think you'll enjoy.

Still haven't gotten very far in the game, but it's been a blast so far. Even if it falls off in the latter half it's got great bones. Looking forward to progression in my groups current save.

Some ratios are off. Fertilizer is just a huge difficulty-spike. So it is kinda unbalance. But the game underneath is great

3d 的视觉设计。想法挺好。草台班子的操作设计。玩过自动化大牛的游戏玩这个有点遭罪

I feel like it needs to be rebalanced. I tried to automate gardening and with a setup that took up a huge amount of space and a bunch of resources dedicated to producing fertilizer, it wasn't even enough to support 12 plants. I was producing bandages at a snail's pace because I just couldn't produce enough flax to support my factory. I like the concept of the game, but it's just takes too long to make progress after level 4.

This game rules. It does three things really well outside of just being fun. 1) it doesn’t sweat the order of things. It somehow feels like well balanced gameplay to both streamline the main quest and putz around building and rebuilding the same recipes over and over to make it faster or prettier. I’m really impressed that I never feel rushed to move onto the next quest but that I’m not overwhelmed by the options I unlock each level. 2) the economy seems well considered. Demand for things and item pricing feels great. I feel like I could design the exact right flow of crafting to manage the supply perfectly if I needed to but that I also don’t really need to stress that. It’s easy enough to fill the shelves but not so easy that the economy seems broken. 3) this is probably my favorite thing. It doesn’t really punish you for constantly tinkering or doing full tear downs. Resources don’t vanish. The only real downside is it takes a little bit to get set back up and so sales are impacted for a bit but honestly, that is probably keeping me from focusing too much on perfect optimization. I get a catapult? I can rebuild the whole thing with catapults. Trains? A day or two without sales and I have a lovely, automated setup. But I’m not mapping out each new upgrade in a grid in excel to find the technically “best” setup which is going to keep me from burning out for a while.

addictive. I would suggest if you want a life, to not purchase this game. its been a long time since I have lost time in a game. its so easy to go okay lets just do this one thing and go to bed, but you end up doing 20 things to get there (in a good way) and suddenly hours have passed.
