My one question though, more of a query, is there any point to using the crafter and other machines to make items when simply using the hydraulic press to make and sell plates seems to provide the most profit? Like: 3 starters, into 3 hydraulic presses, into the selling machine, (once upgraded) earns like $750 every 2 seconds or so. Whereas it looks like crafting any of the machines (at least the early ones) and selling them would earn a lower profit per second. Is that accurate? If so I’m guessing the only reason to make more blueprint items is for the vibes, which is fine really cause it’s still fun, but I wanted to check if I was missing something. ### 2/5 — Stupid *2024-08-18* Just stupid ### 4/5 — Fun game *2024-01-26* But it could really use some material storage machine other than that it is really fun ### 4/5 — Needs some balancing *2023-06-19* Although you would think that it would be more profitable to make more complex things, it really isn’t at least at my stage of the game. Processors require 8 starters to craft at maximum efficiency and sell for 1320, divide that by the number of starters and you get 165 per starter. Speakers require 14 starters to run at peak efficiency and sell for 3300 or 235 per starter. That makes sense right, more starters to craft means more profit, right? Well plates only require one starter and sell for 250, meaning that until you unlock something after speakers the most profitable thing to sell is plates ### 4/5 — Great game but few fix’s *2023-06-18* It’s a great game, but I would love it if you could copy and paste machines this would make it more enjoyable and changing 1000 K to 1M ### 5/5 — 10/10 *2023-06-12, version 1.4.8* I used to play this game back in 2017 on android and when I switched to iPhone I was upset it wasn’t on the AppStore but not it is it is a great game and I will definitely be playing it a lot. ### 4/5 — Really good game but one pretty major bug *2023-06-08, version 1.4.8* Watching a video to gain money ends up resetting my money and when I earn money offline and comeback it does not give me the money ### 2/5 — Should Have Spent More Time In Beta *2023-06-04, version 1.4.8* I’m a sucker for conveyor belts and assembly lines but beyond that this game is a mess,full of bad UI/UX,poorly explained mechanics,boring and grindy progress gating,and a lack of meaningful complexity.Best to avoid,this is a cheap attempt to ride the Satisfactory/Factorio wave and it fails in that regard ### 4/5 — Great game, stupid number system *2023-06-04* Great simple game, but the number system is so difficult to understand. What does 5,000 k mean, it’s not 5 thousand and 500 thousand. Is it 5 million? If so then why not just just 5 million like all the other millions in your game!! ### 5/5 — Fun game *2023-06-01, version 1.4.8* Used to play this game years ago glad it’s back on the App Store :) ### 5/5 — Love this game *2023-06-01, version 1.4.8* I used to play this game a lot when I was a little bit it was only on android ### 5/5 — So simple. So perfect. *2023-03-29* It really amazes me how awesome this game is. It’s incredibly simple at its core but gives you so much freedom to build things. Super satisfying to play, and so glad it’s back available on iOS ### 3/5 — Fun....but *2019-12-10, version 1.1* Love playing. Would be great to have the transporter glitch fixed and an update with more to do. Currently at 511,400 M. ### 4/5 — Bugs *2019-04-11, version 1.1* J’aime beaucoup le concept du jeu! C’est très intéressant à jouer. Pas de pub tant que tu ne demande pas de cadeaux. J’attend toujours des mises à jours de bugs, -Les multi sélecteurs ne sont pas programmables -Les transporteurs (émetteurs et récepteurs) ne peuvent pas être programmés sans avoir à redémarrer le jeu -Les transporteurs récepteurs ne fonctionnent pas quand on ouvre le jeu si on ne va pas ouvrir les usines contenants les émetteurs. (Aucunes pièces sortent du transporteur) - Lorsqu’on laisse le jeu ouvert plus que 5min, il roule au ralenti et on n’est plus capable d’appuyer nulle part. Il faut redémarrer le jeu. -Lorsqu’on ouvre un usine pour la première fois, des pièces restent coincés dans des spliters ou des machines de transformation de matériaux (presse, cutter...) -Il arrive parfois que des pièces que le crafter fabrique restent coincés dans celui-ci au lieu de sortir ### 5/5 — iPhone Notch Problem *2019-02-06, version 1.1* Love this game. The problem is that the notch at the top of my iPhone XS prevents me from seeing how much money I have. Is there a fix for this? ### 2/5 — Notch blocks income information *2019-01-19, version 1.1* Notch blocks information about income. Played this game on Android, was excellent, however on the XS Max the notch blocks the center top of the screen so i can't see how much money i have or my income flow ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Versions 1 and 2 regrettably… *2023-09-19, version 1.4.9* will not operate on the i-Pad 9th gen., runningvthelatest i-OS version. 😕 The arrow over the Starter device, may not be selected at all. Bummer. I were looking forward to trying both as I like this idle game style. ### 1/5 — Won’t Let me DoTutorial *2023-06-23* 👎👎👎👎👎 ### 1/5 — Bugged Offline Profit *2023-06-16* The game only looks at momentary profit. That is, if you take a long time to make a profitable thing, it will show you as losing money most of the time, with an occasional surge of profitability when your product is done, rather than being smart enough to calculate your eventual throughput and actual profitability. Worse, whatever your momentary profitability counter says when you close the app, is what your offline profitability will be calculated from. The end result is that it is easy to return to a loss, even though you should have made great profit. ### 1/5 — Multi selector has been broken on iOS for months *2019-01-27, version 1.1* Developer seems to have abandoned this. A super useful component does not work on iOS and it seems like it would be an extremely easy fix. Been like that for months. ### 1/5 — Can’t select item in selectors *2019-01-13* . ### 1/5 — iPhone X support *2018-12-26, version 1.1* The iPhone X has the notch and when the game is full screen it prevents you from seeing the amount of cash you have please release a fix for this. ### 1/5 — Needs Optimized *2018-12-24, version 1.1* Seems like a fun game, I just can’t tell how much money I have, because iPhone X and newer cuts it off with the notch. Would love to see this fixed so I could actually play the game. ### 1/5 — Great Game - Great Idea, But... *2018-12-14, version 1.1* I love the game it seems great but I can't see whatever is going on at the top and I am a little confused what I am missing out on please update so that the Iphone X is compatible ### 1/5 — Not all game elements work *2018-11-30, version 1.1* Some of the factory pieces do not work (e.g. multiselector) so you cannot optimise the factory to make the most of your (limited) starter pieces. Great idea for a game but poor execution. ### 1/5 — Top of screen cut off *2018-11-02, version 1.1* I have iphone Xs max... That stupid notch at the top of the screen in my phone cuts off the top of the game screen so i can't see how much money i have and what else is up there. Fix that and I will give 5 star ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing *2025-05-04, version 1.4.9* This game is so fun i love to review each assembly line i make so that there as efficient as possible I will spend hours just going over every single ingredient to make something and making it take a shorter time as possible and take up as a little spaces as possible just to make a hot plate amazing game I recommend to any picky autistic person ( do not take offence to that i myself am autistic) ### 5/5 — Underrated masterpiece *2023-08-01, version 1.4.8* These don’t come much but when they do you know! I played this game as tycoons are my favourite pass time and was pleasantly surprised! The enjoyment 10/10… late game is lack lustre and some “progressions” are more expensive but give less money. I think a sprinkle of tips would be scrumptious!!! Overall 10/10! Look forward to possibly more updates?! ### 5/5 — It’s back! *2023-07-21* I remember 4/5 years ago this game came out. It was 10th grade and my friends and I absolutely loved this game. It was really sad for me when it got removed from the App Store, but I am so glad it is back. For everyone looking at this game, know that it’s really addicting if you like organization and and strategy. The limited space, even though there is quite a large amount of land makes it challenging to maximize the output of resources. Honestly, amazing game. ### 5/5 — Great game, but one request *2023-07-15* Great game, unlike other tycoon games this one gives you free reign of what you want to make and forces you to figure out the most efficient way to make it, and not just unlock pre-set areas, but the number system is goofy. If you have 2.5 million dollars, it will read as 2,500 k, so two thousand five hundred thousand??? I also recommend if you get this game, to encourage one of your friends to also get the game. I got it the same time as my cousin, and we had fun sending each other screenshots and competing to see who could make a better factory. ### 5/5 — Amazing game *2023-06-26* I love this game so much! The only problems I have with it are that in needs some balance changes and maybe a new update. ### 5/5 — Thanks for updating the game :) *2023-06-23, version 1.4.8* :) ### 5/5 — It’s back! *2023-06-23, version 1.4.8* This game left the App Store for ages - it’s awesome it’s back. Used to play this heaps. Thanks Olympus. ### 5/5 — Review *2023-06-16, version 1.4.8* Awesome game, I’m almost addicted. One thing that would help massively would be a menu where you can colour coordinate different machines so you know what system is part of what when there are lots of machines next to each other. ### 5/5 — APPLE W *2023-06-13, version 1.4.8* PLAYED IT ON ANDROID AND AM SO HAPPY ITS ON APPLE LFGGG ### 5/5 — Best idle game *2023-06-12* Haven’t played in 4 years, and man it’s just so much fun still. It’s addicting almost. Bugs shouldn’t be an issue, and even if there is one, it’s a unity launcher like just get over it, or fix those errors yourself. Highly recommend this game to anyone, wish they expanded more on the blueprints though which is my only concern, overall fun game.
