Factory Town

As someone who plays a lot of similar games, this game was confusing, uninteresting compared to competitors, and was unable to to clearly indicate a lot of mechanics. Just play any other automatic factory/logistics game and you will probably be better off.

This one surprised me in a good way. It starts off charming, relaxing, and genuinely fun, and for a long time I really enjoyed watching my little factory grow. Factory Town sits somewhere between Factorio and Satisfactory, but in its own cute and more laid-back way. The early and mid-game are easily the strongest parts, with satisfying progression and systems that feel straightforward without being boring. Unfortunately, the late game starts to drag. The last few missions become very grindy, and the shift toward magic-based mechanics feels less interesting than the more grounded production chains the game builds itself on. By the end, it becomes cluttered and overwhelming with the final missions feeling unnecessarily long and drawn out. Overall, it’s an enjoyable ride that really scratches the automation itch. 6.5/10 – A charming and relaxing factory builder that stumbles quite in the endgame.

game is good.

I freaking LOVE this game. The fact that this tiny game has such a high potential for addiction is insane. I sunk in close to 400h since buying and it still gets me from time to time, making a new map, trying different things. Highly recommended.

Not recommended on Linux; have not tested on Windows. The game loop is fun, but its performance is pretty atrocious on Linux (SteamPlay and Proton experimental). Namely, hovering over any object causes the UI state to change, which causes a good 15-frame hiccup each time. On non-experimental proton, controls requiring modifier keys (shift-R to rotate counterclockwise, for example) do not function. Experimental fixes this for *most* controls, but not all, apparently. On the positives, the game loop is actually really engaging once you get into it, and - while the UI for it needs a bit of polish (let me expand the window or search!) - the rebinding system allows Dvorak users to play the game without issue, unlike some of this game's competitors such as Dyson Sphere Program, which can't actually rebind some keys at all. All in all, if you're fine with the game chugging constantly, and controls being a bit broken, it's otherwise great. This game takes me back to what I wanted in idle games and DSP, albeit at a somewhat smaller scale. If the rather significant performance issues were addressed, key-bindings were given a touch-up, I'd change this review to a positive.

Keep giving the game chances, it just isn't it... Its nice and dandy but its just plain boring and the management is just bad. I cannot find out the in and outs of everything, lots of stuff just looks funny... Don't like it

It's a casual factory/automation game with bright and toyish graphics. It has logistical mechanics that are similar to Factorio but utilizes the 3rd dimension as well. There are no enemies to fight and no rush to complete any objectives. If you want 'challenges' in the game I suggest visiting the very active Reddit page. This game is extremely forgiving of mistakes. And with the bright graphics, the bigger your town gets, the cooler it looks. The tech tree is deep and the 3D building is easy, making the game as complex as you'd like it to be. It's the Lego of factory games: bright, colorful, optimistic and great for a player of any age.

Es como factorio o satisfactory, si buscas un juego similar, aquí lo tienes. Es muy chill, se pasan las horas volando y desconectas de todo. Tiene bastante de automatización. Tengo pocas horas aquí en steam porque lo he jugado en la versión de Gog sobretodo. Yo lo he jugado en steam deck y sin problemas, están bien los controles que hay de la comunidad y los suyos propios. Y el desarrollador está muy comprometido, ya que en la versión de Gog tenía un bug molesto y le escribí, él me contestó al instante. En la misma semana lo actualizó y lo arregló, aún estando con otros proyectos, saco tiempo para arreglarlo. Eso es muy raro verlo, trata con mucho mimo sus juegos. 🫡 Merece mucho la pena para desconectar de los juegos de siempre de automatización. Tiene un modo campaña con el que te vas familiarizando con las mecánicas poco a poco de una manera orgánica. Y luego un modo libre sin restricciones. Es más light que factorio, menos estricto por así decirlo, más relajado. Con un diseño artístico muy agradable a la vista y una música muy relajada y acertada.
