The Process vs Smeltline

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?

Your homeworld has run out of resources. As an engineer, you land on an untouched planet with a single task: build a factory that runs by itself, and construct the rocket that can save your home. But you are not alone. Nearby, the young colony of Weitmark is struggling to survive and asks for help. Send it supply capsules and watch a few huts grow into a town. In the end, the rocket can fly to only one destination. Who will you help? AUTOMATE • Drills, smelters, formers, joiners and synthesizers chain into long production lines, from the first ore to rocket segments • Conveyors, pipes for water and oil, tunnels and splitters: drag your lines with a finger • Drones carry cargo across rivers, lava and crevasses to distant deposits • Every machine has a throttle, and boost modules push it even further POWER • Wind, sun, geothermal, coal, oil and nuclear • Day and night, with batteries as a buffer: when power runs short, the factory slows down instead of stopping FOUR WORLDS • Grassland, Volcanic Land, Ice World and Desert share the same resources, but each has its own bottleneck: a river, lava flows, crevasses or scarce water • Salvage wrecks for data cores that unlock research and alternate recipes MADE FOR MOBILE • Your factory keeps working while you are away, and a summary shows what came in • Built for touch in landscape, on iPhone and iPad • Detailed pixel art and painted story scenes • Achievements across all your games • Progress saved via iCloud • Playable in 9 languages Play the beginning, then unlock the whole game with a single in-app purchase.
