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.

2016 - Such detail and depth! And continued playability is huge! I'd love to see more added! Keep up the great work! 2019 - still the best idle game in 2019. Developers just need to add more items to produce to keep the game fresh. 2022 - I think it's time for a sequel! ;) 😉 wink winkity wink wink 😉 2025: Sadly, not much activity. 😔

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.

Pretty fun game, amusing but confusing at points when you're trying to remember everything. When you get to the end (doesnt take much longer than 2 hours of being productive) the automation is terrible, inefficient and the higher tiers just waste your stuff. The sellers sell the basic products you need. The only good automated part are the purchasing taskers
