  • Closest thing to Factorio on phone

    I don't review often, but I wanted to clarify a few things. You can download the game, and play to the end... for free. The in-gane purchases can speed up the experience, but for factorío, dyson or satisfactory veterans... that would be unthinkable. The point of factoriy games is setting up line, seeking efficiency, growing your factory and just watching stuff get made. I utterly detest micro transactions, and this game never once shoved a stupid ad in my face or even asked me to spend money. And when I finally completed unlocked every item in the game, it lets you reseed the world and play again... for free. I'd gladly pay $5 or $10 for this game as it kept my factorio brain happy for nearly a week as I would have a spare 30-60 minutes to expand my main bus to add a new product. Its not anywhere close to the depth of factorio, but for an iphone app it is a small gem in a sea of cesspool micro transaction garbage. I would love to see splitters and storage units with multiple outputs... so there are things it could add. Either way, a solid pocket factory game.

  • Fun but beware

    I enjoyed this game. I even find it addicting. But beware of the in app purchase. You can play the game without the gem tree if you have the patience and it’s still fun. But the gems provided by the gem tree allow you to buy decorations and to speed up or complete production and so on. And carefully and patiently managed you can eventually produce gems by the hundreds. The BEWARE is that the gem tree is NOT a one time purchase. You start the game with 100 gems but you need 250 gems to buy a gem tree so you have to pay 4.99$ for 250 gems (or more money for more gems of course) to buy a gem tree(s). After that if you’re patient you can harvest gems slowly to buy each proceeding tree. And the more gem tress the faster you build up to the next tree. BUT it’s not a restorable purchase. You have to spend at least 4.99$ FOR EVERY WORLD YOU START if you want starter gem tree.
    You can watch videos for gems but the access to videos is erratic and they cut you off after using it too much. So using it fur gems is not a reliable way to get enough gems unless you just don’t play until you have the 250 gems. I’m almost done with the game and only had 189 gems before I got fed up, gave up and bought a few decorations to use as markers.

  • 100% worth it and no forced ads😮‍💨

    This game is fantastic of course there are options for watching an ad to get gems or what not but this is optional outside of that zero ads. This game is great with its variety of things to do it’s awesome. Of course I have one issue and that’s no idle due to some things taking hours it would be great to have idle possible because if your not in the app the game stops. So if you can fix it because I don’t wanna let my phone sit their for 2 hours straight. Other than that if you want to download this game but not sure the please do this game is amazing.

  • Really great game but…

    First off, this is an amazing game in the sense that people could be producing the exact same things but their factories look entirely different. The flexibility and creativity involved makes it that much better. The items all make sense enough to be seen as realistic production. (Excluding anything sci-fi late game stuff) One thing thought, either the extractors are ever so slightly quicker than stated or furnaces and workshops and ever so slightly slower. Even though I have double and triple checked the math, items accumulate on the belts, even though extremely slowly. For example, for my copper wire factory I have 8 extractors on 150% which is 90 per minute, and I also have 4 on 100% which is another 30 per minute. I have 4 furnaces on 100% which should process all 120 per minute according to my calculations, but items still accumulate very slowly. Please fix this devs and the game will be that much better!

  • Recent update issues

    I LOVE this game. It’s so simple to build what you want, and has so much room for creativity. One of the most recent updates introduced the ability to gain gems without the need for inn-app purchases by watching ads, which would be great if it would allow me to watch the ad. Instead the button says “not available”. What isn’t available? I’m connected to the internet via WiFi, and I’ve tried other wireless networks, so I don’t think it’s that. It has worked once before, but I haven’t been able to view ads for gems since then. I remember it wouldn’t allow me to initially either. I have no idea what changed and allowed me to view the ads for gems that one time. Any help would be appreciated.

    Additionally, I noticed that the price for a gem tree rose from 150 to 250 gems. Given that players start off with 100 gems, it now at least triples the amount of ads that one has to watch if they want to obtain a gem tree without in-app purchases.

    Nonetheless, this is one of the only problems I have with this game. I do wish there was something I could do with the lakes that sometimes litter the map, but that’s all I can think of. Hopefully the ad problem gets fixed soon.

  • Ugh! This game is addictive

    Please stop making me late for work and not getting sleep. This game is too amazing. I attempted to find another game like this even after finding this one and they just don’t exist. It’s a unique one of a kind game.

    After saying all of this I have a request for the developer. Please make a way that a design made in one world can be saved/transferred to another one. As I learn more and make a new world with new knowledge I forget how I made some things and a shortcut to saving a setup would be wonderful.

    Thanks for all your hard work on this game. I just updated with the latest update and am about to pay the $20 to make larger worlds. Sounds awesome. More room would be amazing.

  • Super addicting, one problem

    This game has had me completely wrapped up in configuring belt lines and tweaking factory designs and I’ve loved every minute of it! My ONLY gripe is that once you unlock computers, every recipe after that calls for so many resources that each new research project takes FOR. EV. ER. to unlock. Either adjust the economy in the game to lessen the required amounts OR, what I would prefer, make an offline earnings functionality! Even if it wasn’t 100% earnings, if I got a portion of the materials to go to the research center without having to essentially leave my phone running next to me while I do something else, the game would be absolutely perfect.

  • I love this game!

    In reality, I personally think this game is amazing! I found this game out of nowhere when I had an itch for a “factory” game with conveyor belts. This game scratched that itch! This was a great game to stumble onto and I’m so glad I did! If I could change one thing though, I would definitely make an On/Off switch for the extractors. Me personally, I’m not good at thinking ahead so my conveyors get clogged a lot. (Lol) but when I select a research that doesn’t involve a certain item like copper it or wood, I don’t want that flowing into my research center just because like I said I’m bad at thinking ahead and these resources I don’t need for research start clogging up the items I DO need for research. The other thing is if you get rid of the conveyor in front of the extractor, it just stock piles up that resource. Which then when you do need it, it clogs the conveyor leading to the smelters of the workshops. So if I could change one thing I would have a simple On/Off switch for each individual extractor. Just so when you don’t need that resource you can just turn it off instead of delete a piece of equipment! 😁😁

  • In my personal top 5 games of all time

    This game seriously impresses me every time I play. It is so simple yet keeps me engaged for hours at a time. Everything works exactly the way I want it to. It hits all the right receptors in my brain. If I could add anything to this game it would be some way to be able to see where all of my productions are when I zoom out. There comes a point where I struggle to find certain products just because there’s so much going on. It’s my only complaint and it’s barely even a complaint. I would love to see more resources, new recipes, and bigger more intricate maps, but it really is close to perfect the way it is.

  • Decent App, but has flaws

    The app is well made and looks nice on a tablet. The game is a lot like Satisfactory but from a top down perspective. There are no intrusive ads so I believe the developer makes all of their money through microtransactions. But they also don’t push that hard to get you to buy the gems considering there really isnt too much incentive to spend them. You could use gems on decorative structures like trees (which I didn’t see a use for since you’ll be zoomed out a lot of the time, especially as your factory grows). You could also use gems to get gold coins (which I haven’t felt the need to buy). And lastly to boost your research facility (which has its own problems). So I can’t see myself spending it anytime soon, and I not sure if it’s a good or bad thing.

    The problem with the research facility is that you can only place one (at least so far that I’ve played) and you can only research one item at a time. Also, you do not progress if the app is closed. I’m not too far into the game and I’m already tasked with researching an item that requires 500 wood frames. So I would need to keep the app open and my tablet on while it completes.
