About this game

Can you build a self-sustaining factory without going bankrupt? You win the game once it's capable of playing itself!

"I like building forklifts." — Lenore

The Factory is a mash-up of a crafting sim, resource manager and clicker. Start by purchasing raw materials, building basic items to sell at a profit, and slowly working up the crafting chain to the more complex items. The highest tier items are called Builders, and are capable of manufacturing items for you. There's even a Builder Builder which manufactures more builders.

"NEED MOAR" — Richard

The Factory contains two In-app Purchases, a bailout and a supply package. Most players should never need these, and indeed if you run out of money you can just start over with a generous initial budget. However, if you just need a small bump to keep going, maybe a bailout is for you. Alternatively if you want to jumpstart a production run, a supply package can save you time.

This game was made as a hobby project more than anything else, and was inspired by the concept of a clicker that clicks for you.

I really like this game, however I don't like how the automation can only focus one item at a time. Also, can you add in extra settings for how the game works, ex: how many supplies you can keep in your inventory at a time, being able to disable restricted mode and others to improve gameplay. Edit: coming back to retry, and I'm noticing that the ai can only sell boxes for some reason, and it will create whatever it likes, instead of keeping a set amount to save resources for other materials.

Good game to waste a bit of time on. Needs quality of life improvements, and as it is, when you build all the robots you can (and there is an arbitrary limit for each of them. ...for some reason.) There's... nothing to do left. No real goal to work towards. Nothing new to build. Not even any real way you can waste your heaps of money. It'd be nice to at least be able to build as many automators as I can. Enjoy exponential growth. Could've served as a bit of a commentary on industrial growth.

I love this game, i love the element of buying a bunch of randome materials and seeing what they make from the basic 14 things you can make. The tutorial is easy, it explains the mechanics of the game in a non confusing way. Although i did find something that doesn't really make sense, and that is when you sell something that takes over 2 minutes, once it hits 2 minutes, it goes to 1 minute it makes you wait an entirely new minute then it counts down from 60. Just trying to help.
