Find the bottleneck and improve the system
Mining, processing and manufacturing connect into an automated factory. Pick it when making a production chain more efficient feels like a satisfying goal rather than maintenance between other activities.
Before you choose: Expect to revisit working systems as demand grows. A factory that looks complete can still need a substantial redesign.
For your next game, compare automation, production chains and solving bottlenecks.
Find games like Factorio ↓Another direction to explore: SatisfactoryChoose this to explore and build factories in three dimensions, rather than managing Factorio’s production from above.
Keep the production problem, then choose how you want to build around it. These alternatives involve connected factories, not just games that happen to have a home base.
Choose it for connecting machines and transport routes while turning resources into increasingly complex products.
What changes: First-person, multi-storey construction makes moving through and around the factory part of planning. You can build alone or with friends.
Choose it for developing production lines into an industrial network that reaches across planets and star systems.
What changes: The interstellar scale changes your planning priorities. Its official game mode is single-player, so it is not the choice for a co-op factory.
