Factory Town

No os dejéis engañar por los gráficos. Por aquí algunos dicen que es un juego relajante... nada más lejos de la realidad. Pasarse la campaña es un quebradero de cabeza. Pero juegazo.

fun game. production feels more simple compared to factorio, but the 3D grid adds extra complexety to designing your conveyer belts etc. i feel like there is no way to "fail" in this game. while it is nice if you want to just chill and build some towns and villages, but it gives no real challenge (compared to PvP or people's needs in anno or external threats in factorio)

There's something so satisfying about watching your townsfolk run back and forth and back and forth and back and forth and back and forth and back and forth and back and forth and back and forth and back and forth and back and forth and back and forth and back and forth and back and forth and back and forth and back and forth and back and forth and back and forth and

A relaxed Factorio-like/builder played on a 3D landscape with complex supply chains and charming music. There's three main 'systems' going on in Factory town: your towns/houses, which require deliveries of food and goods to both increase their happiness and pay out various currencies; research, which initially just involves delivering paper and books to schools, but quickly grows to involve combing books with other goods at a laboratory or magic tower to make specialized books that focus on a single subject or element; and mana, which involves mining crystals, refining them, then using the magical power inside them to create items, resulting in a depleted crystal that can be recharged and reused. Various tips worth mentioning as I made my way through the game's 8 campaign levels: * Wooden scaffolding can be affixed directly to the sides of buildings, and can take goods from (or have them delivered to) up to two blocks up. Not coincidentally, caravans require a two block ceiling to pass under something, so you can run belts directly from one building to another over your streets without blocking the traffic below. * Items in barns can be used directly by the player in building, so there's no need to ship things like belts, train tracks, stone, or fertilizer all the way over to the town square. * Hitting 'G' will take you to the underground layer(s). Pipes can be placed directly on this level, effortlessly connecting buildings. Extremely useful for connecting wells to farms and pastures without having ugly tubes running all over the map. As an added benefit, each type of pipe has its own layer, so you can stack different pipes without worrying about cross-contamination. * All buildings/roads/etc. are refunded 100% when removed, so don't hesitate to remodel/rework systems. The only real negatives I can think of are that, for a game that actively encourages vertical expansion, it can be very annoying or even impossible to click on or see what's going on in the lower levels of your town; and that some of the campaign goals feel a little excessive. For instance, the final level requires 400 blue star currency. Each 100 points of that currency requires 100-400 of four randomly picked, high-level goods, and - even when you have the goods available - takes a while to process. The requirement could have been reduced to 200 currency without cheapening my feeling of accomplishment. Overall, a neat little game - I enjoyed it enough to 100% the achievements.

It definitely has the one-more-turn effect but like most conveyor belt simulator games it gets too close to my day job by end game. I never finished any of these type of games. 1. It has "humans" but they are easily replaced by conveyors quite early in game and then they are objectively better 2. Trains are lackluster and just investing in conveyors is better for short, medium and long term 3. Chutes are an unique idea and I loved it. Its like a cheap gravity powered conveyor that you can get in early game but remains viable throughout. 4. The support mechanic is similar to minecraft. You don't need pillars. So, that makes boats obsolete too as you can just build a floating conveyor over the water which is waaaay more efficient in short, medium and long term. 5. The campaign forces you to build things you don't really need. 6. Building upgrade is inspired by Anno series. Its like if Anno and Factorio had a lowpoly child.

Like Factorio but cute instead of bleak, and no biters to contend with. Deeper than appears on the surface. Heartily recommend.

Nice Game with easy to understand mechanics. I like to compare it with Factorio as mother of automation genre. It has more types of transportation and the pathfinding ist sometimes stupid (if it comes to concurring routes). Therefor it is more complex to establish well functioning setups. I've also not figured out how exactly the ratios are. So in my eyes it is more for gamer who like to react on shortages or outputstacking than for gamers who love to calculate exactly the ratios. On the other hand it is simpler to oversee because mega factories are not possible. It is about little village industries.
