I'm torn on this. it's a pretty cool little "mini Factorio" but, there's very little to it. No depth, a fair amout of bugs (nothing major), and lots of missing features. Even though I had fun with it, I feel like I can't recommend it...mostly because it's not flagged as "EA" or anything...it's sold as a "complete" game, which it isn't. At all. I would say, if this was a full-blown factory builder, it wouldn't be enough content to release as EA yet (maybe close). I really don't even understand how there's a "demo" for this game....the entire game is a "demo." If this was an EA title, I'd recommend it...it's only a few bucks and you'd support the dev to keep adding to it. But given it's being sold as a "finished" title, nope, can't recommend it. Even the name is a bit misleading. You can't build "mega" factories here. There's no reason to. There's literally like 3 resources and maybe 15 things to craft. The map has 3 sizes, but even the largest size is tiny. So, there's no going to be "mega" factories here. Naming it "the factory must grow" is kinda sus, tbh. Move the tag to "EA" and keep working on it, and then I'll totally change my review. I have a list of maybe 25-30 suggestions, but now that I see it's sold as complete, I won't even bother.
I really like this game. The game play is very smooth and no lag. The way that the factory machines and logistics work is very well thought out. It has all of the necessary item types, conveyors, splitter/merger, assembler, furnace to smelt ore, etc. It very quickly introduces electric power and the way it works is a bit unusual, but I like it. The generators provide power everywhere, unlimited range. It's nice because I can setup a generator farm. All I have to do is find a lake or pond big enough and then route coal to it. If you like automation games, it's well worth the price.
Awesome game. I really enjoyed playing this game and I hope the developer expand on it. I recommend anyone to give this a try.
I played the demo and liked it so much that I bought the game, just to find out that I bought not much more than the demo. But for the price it's worth it. I hope there will be an expansion.
Great Game So Much Potential Look Forward to Future Updates Hopefully Some Nice Smooth Stone Foundations No One likes Building On The Ground...
Good!
So awesome, I truly love Factory anything and this has some really cool type. very fun, and I am enjoying it for sure! :-)
Optimizasyon sorunu var bilgisayar aşırı ısınıyor. There is an optimization problem. It needs to be fixed. PC is overheating. edit(28.08.2025) This game is really amazing, you can truly feel the sense of progression while playing. I’m playing it on a new computer, and it’s definitely a great experience. It deserves more updates, the game should keep going :)
