How it feels

A calm, methodical puzzle of conveyor belts and supply chains where you slowly watch your factory grow from nothing into a sprawling, self-sustaining machine.

What players say

Players appreciate the puzzle-like automation and railroad-based logistics, but nearly all say the game was abandoned years ago with bugs unfixed. There is no tutorial, maps feel repetitive, and the game is more of a puzzle than a traditional factory builder like Factorio or Satisfactory.
