Co vs The Process

Running a production line is the easy part. Managing an unpredictable workforce... that's the real challenge! You run a contract packaging plant. The lines, the automation, the capital — all yours to command. But the one input that decides whether you ship or sink is the one you control least: your crew. Co-Pack is a daily-staffing sim about running a real workforce, one shift at a time. Every morning is a decision. At each standup the board wipes clean and you re-staff from whoever actually showed up. A line only produces when Induct, Pack, and Stage are all covered. Fill the slots, hit Start Shift, and watch the cartons roll — or scramble when half your bench no-shows. The cycle you'll spend the game mastering: • A deep bench covers bad mornings — but anyone you don't place goes home unpaid and sours • Push output with overtime and morale drops; buy it back with meals and raises and cash drops • Too lean and one absence stalls a line; too fat and you bleed money and goodwill Build something that lasts. • Sign contracts with real deadlines — beat them or take a reputation hit • Promote leads, convert temps to permanent staff, and upgrade automation • Open new lines for true parallel production • Hire a floor supervisor so shifts keep running while you're away No pressure, no catch. • Free to play • No ads • No in-app purchases • Offline progress — come back to a "while you were away" report Clock in, boss. The floor is yours.

THE PROCESS — Welcome to the Ethereal Foundry. Build a steam-and-steel factory, wire your stations together, and watch it produce. But growth never stops here: as your system wears down, REBOOT it for a permanent multiplier — and grow faster next cycle. HOW TO PLAY • Start with the Boiler (input), route it through a Refinery, deliver it to the Emitter (output). • Unlock advanced stations as you progress: Furnace, Converter, Amplifier, Transmuter. • Use Coolant to slow degradation, and place stations smartly to trigger resonance and chain bonuses. A SYSTEM THAT DEEPENS • Blueprint Tree: spend points earned from every reboot on permanent perks. • Ascension: reset your factory a second time for Aether — a passive multiplier plus the exclusive "Aether Conduit" station. • Daily Contracts + Shift Streak: fresh goals every day, rewards for showing up. • Weekly Trial: build a mini factory and compete on the global leaderboard. MAKE IT YOURS Earn pipe color palettes and node skins to give your factory a signature look — never for sale, only earned by playing. FAIR AND TRANSPARENT Ads never play themselves. When you choose to watch one, you'll always see exactly what you're getting first. Your progress saves to the cloud automatically, so it survives a device switch. An idle/incremental factory game for players who love both hands-on tinkering and watching things grow in the background. The steam never stops. Is your factory ready?
