Your company. Your prices. Your industrial empire. Build industrial plants, process raw materials into finished products and trade with real players on a shared world market. What you produce, who you offer your goods to and what price you ask is up to you. Do you produce it yourself or buy it in? Which goods pay off right now? And where will your next site be? Combine production, transport and trade and grow your company step by step. FROM RAW MATERIAL TO FINISHED PRODUCT Construct industrial plants and extend them level by level. Raw materials become materials, materials become finished products. Every production stage you run yourself makes you less dependent on suppliers. Or you buy in selectively and focus on other business. A WORLD MARKET WITH REAL PLAYERS Other companies are your customers and suppliers. Trade raw materials, materials and products and find buyers for your goods. Supply and demand shape trade between players. Read the market and you will spot opportunities for your next deal. GOODS IN DEMAND, NEW OPPORTUNITIES Metropolises, shopping centers, jewelry stores and car dealers are looking for your products. Pick the right tenders and deliver what is in demand. Keep an eye on the economic news: events change the prices of tenders – and with them your options. YOUR LOCATION MATTERS Plan your production and move goods with your own fleet by land, water and air. Every region offers different conditions for production speed, costs and maintenance. Where you build is part of your strategy. RESEARCH AND GET AHEAD Research new materials and hire CEOs with different strengths. Decide which parts of your company you want to push forward next. BUILD BIG TOGETHER Team up with other companies in a group. Contribute material and money and realize megaprojects that no company can pull off alone. STEP BY STEP TO YOUR OWN COMPANY The progression map guides your start with clear tasks. Complete quests, unlock new buildings and open up new possibilities. After the first phases, daily quests bring new goals to your company's everyday business. A daily bonus rewards you for checking in. And once your company is running? Design your residence the way you want it. Industries is free to play. Diamonds can optionally be purchased and used for speed-ups and extra CEO slots for a limited time, among other things. No purchase is required. Play in German, English, French, Italian or Spanish. If you like, you get notifications when something has finished. You will find more on buildings, products and game mechanics at en.wiki.industries-game.ch. Ideas or suggestions for improvement? Your feedback reaches us directly via the feedback feature in the game.
