How it feels

a laid-back, systematic grind of expanding a mining and smelting operation through idle resource collection

What players say

Players describe Mining Factory as an unfinished game with copy-paste mechanics and poor balance. The dev released a similar game at the same time, which many see as a cash grab. There is no cloud save, and resources like rare earth run out, stopping production. A hidden F2 key gives money but is a fixed amount that loses value later.
