VEYRA-9 is dead. Three centuries of automated mining stripped the planet bare, and the rogue AUTON network silenced every factory but one. Yours. The Last Factory is a build-and-defend factory sim. Lay out production chains, raise a power grid, research lost technology, and hold the line against escalating machine raids, on a hand-built world you uncover one chunk at a time. BUILD Drag modules onto the grid and chain them into flowing production lines. Mine ore, smelt ingots, forge alloy plate, print circuits, and feed it all into deeper tech. Belts, splitters, pipes, and smart routers move everything where it needs to go. POWER Stand up solar relays and reactor cores, then extend the grid with conduits. Manage cryo-coolant, ride out brownouts, and bank a surge buffer that keeps your turrets alive when the grid dips. DEFEND Every module you build makes you louder, and a bigger target. The AUTON network sends scouts and breakers in escalating raids. Emplace turrets, EMP emitters, and maintenance bots, and turn the wreckage into salvage. RESEARCH Signal Towers generate Research Points. Spend them in the blueprint tree to unlock tier after tier, compressed cells, neural cores, and a sample → data centre → R&D loop that researches permanent upgrades for the modules you already run. DISCOVER Out past the fog: collapsed archives, broken transit lines, a field-hospital shell. Each ruin carries a fragment of what happened here the week the factories went dark. And somewhere at the very end, one blueprint that isn't in the tree, found, not unlocked. PREMIUM, NO TRICKS Pay once, own everything. No ads. No in-app purchases. No energy timers. No battle pass. All future updates free. MOBILE-FIRST Pinch to zoom. Tap to rotate. Designed for one-handed play on any screen. Auto-saves into rotating slots, and keeps producing while you're away. Hold the line. Power up. Outlast the static.
