Great game. I'm gonna go ahead and compare it (favorably) to Factorio: - Cozy cozy cozy cozy. I'm not making flamethrowers to fight aliens. I'm just making bandages for the local drugstore and sandwiches for the tavern. - Soundtrack is very relaxing - Depth is excellent. I'm on level 5/8 and there are already twelve different types of research. - Play your way. There are bonuses if you tap into existing RNG resource spawns, but if you really need them somewhere else, you can plonk them down. - Trains are intuitive yet challenging. You're not going to stare at the screen for fifteen minutes wondering why a train won't leave the station. - Logistics/signaling system goes as deep as you want (probably deeper, tbh) but you don't ever have to use it. - A billion raw materials and another billion things to make out of them. - Piping is way more fun, can be used on a wide variety of materials. If you like the factory genre, especially if you wish it were more bucolic, I would definitely check this one out.

Really solid Factorio Lite. I love how your factory is a town with little peons/villagers hopping all over instead drab factories. It’s very worth it on sale, but just feels like it could still go a step further and be amazing. Runs perfect on my steam deck, however I’d heavily suggest disabling the right hand track pad. Game has bugs when swapping between keyboard and mouse on the fly, just spend the time to learn the gamepad and you won’t have issues. I kept bumping that right hand pad on accident. Only two real complaints come to mind: The tooltips really suck. For a lot of menus there is no tooltip at the bottom describing what is selected or saying what it does. What’s the difference between fertilizer and water on crops? It doesn’t tell you at the farms that use them. Also a lot of item descriptions don’t give you hard data, no conveyor speeds or how many items a caravan can hold or what this research will unlock before you choose it. Or that friggan wagons can’t pass through each other and will cause deadlocked traffic unless you give them an interstate. The descriptions are pretty basic and useless, gets quite annoying. And I’m not sure what I’m going to do when I finish the campaign. Even worse, so far each campaign has just been walking me through a tech tier without any special flavor or anything. Theres no grand goal like launching a rocket or some unique challenge ruleset.

Factorio with verticality and some nice QOL features. (Freely move buildings, universal storage--but only for construction, hold ctrl and drag to build rails/chutes/ect at the same level, and more). The game should be more popular!

I bought this game in early access and played it for a few hours. Came back a few years ago and 100% completed it and played through all campaigns. Very fun, chill and well-rounded game, would recommend. The UI is a bit clunky at first but after some time you get used to it.

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.
