So many polyps

There are so many popups asking you to buy stuff for a weak game with poor progression. It’s not worth playing.

Needs fixing

I played this game and most of the time the game was glitching and wouldn’t have the workers on the table cutting the steel or the forklifts wouldn’t take the steel to the destination where it’s supposed to go. I had to restart the game over and over for it to work right.

Fun game but LOADED with micro transactions

Pretty fun game. My question is how do you get managers without purchasing them?

Addictive

Too addictive 10/10

A buggy waiting game

There is not a lot that is fun here. If you are really bored, it is some busy work in the way that the activity boards you might attach to a toddlers crib will keep you pushing buttons and honking horns, all for nothing.

The game is quite buggy. For example in the second factory, if you upgrade all three ships all the way, it will eventually give you a quest to update a fourth ship which doesn’t exist. This will effectively lock you out of further progression in the quest queue.

Another problem is that layout of the conveyor belts is infuriatingly inefficient and bad. There is no option to redesign the factory unlike factories or the half dozen games of that ilk. You are stuck with the ill conceived factory layout which leaves your workers starved for raw materials and largely wasting time until the next break.

When they do have raw materials, they likely aren’t working anyway, because their machinery is broken. The AI which powers the repairmen is similarly inexcusably horrible. There is no attempt to take multiple jobs near one another. They will often walk past six broken machines in order to fix one on the opposite side of the map. If they have enough supplies for multiple fixes, often they will go back to their home room to restock anyway, walking past a half dozen broken machines on the way.

After about the first hour of gameplay, the game becomes utterly stingy with new workers. I have factories with workrooms that have never had a manager because not enough spawn. Likewise once your initial quota of 30 or so workers runs out. You never get any more and have to hire temp workers who never advance.

This is in the end one of those pay to win, waiting games designed to leave you frustrated. In short, it is a pay to wait game. Do yourself a favor and pick something else that is actually well designed and fun.

Objective is not feasible

In the Vidal section one of the objectives is to upgrade the 4 garbage truck to lv.3 and that truck doesn’t exist in the game.

Absolutely love this game..

So at a certain point of progress in the game there is an task in multiple factories to upgrade scrap truck 4 to level 3. There’s 4 slots for trucks, but only 3 trucks to unlock. Wish that would get fixed.

Substance

I truly enjoyed this game however this game severely lacks substance for the amount they charge to remove ads. If I had known that the game didn’t actually go anywhere I wouldn’t have paid for ad removal.

More options and updates

Gives more locations and options allow us to be more free and do more stuff

Need to fix

After the event I was not able to get in the game

Glitch

Game just keeps saying event is over- each time I hit the continue button it reloads the screen. I can’t do anything. Please fix!

Payment

Payed for the no ads perk and its said that the payment went through but its not giving me the perk

Game is locked up or broken.

Every time I log onto the game, it says event is over and it just loops over and over and over again. There’s no way to get back into the game at all. Hopefully somebody will look into it and fix it or say something about the game is no longer being administered to.

Quality issues

You can’t use the map, switching factory locations is impossible, UI is cut off on modern devices so you play a guessing game at what the app wants or trying to do anything.

Glitch

The event is over but I can’t go back to the regular game play. It’s been stuck on the space event. I enjoyed the game til this happened

Only three levels

Not worth the money paid to be ad free if there’s only three factories. It’s a good game, but it really needs to be expanded. Once it’s expanded I’ll change my star rating, but until then it’s really not worth the money paid.

Fun, but doesn’t always progress while offline

This is a fun game. I like this type of game, and of the ones I’ve played, I like this one the best. However, there is a BIG bug that gets really annoying. I’ll play for a bit, upgrade as much as much as I can afford, etc., then switch over to other games for a while, and when I come back to this one after about 20 or 30 minutes, my factory has made ZERO money, ZERO progress. If I leave for several hours, or overnight, I get a window when I come back where I can see my offline earnings.

Also mildly annoying is the music. It doesn’t really loop well.

Help stuck in event loop

Can’t leave the event after it ended. The game says click confirm and it does nothing. Help

Was good…until the update

I was really enjoying the game until the update. I hate that the production rooms lose power. If a worker is mad they leave the floor and go to the break room. The upgrade tree now has four different tiers to upgrade. The best part about the game before the update was how fun and simple it was to play. So unfortunately with the update and the path the game is going down I am deleting it. Thanks for the fun I had before the changes.

Quest challenges

The quest have been locked up for days now. Is there a fix for this?
