More About The Factory
The Factory is a mash-up of a crafting sim, resource manager and clicker. Start by purchasing raw materials, building basic items to sell at a profit, and slowly working up the crafting chain to the more complex items. The highest tier items are called Builders, and are capable of manufacturing items for you. There's even a Builder Builder which manufactures more builders.
"NEED MOAR" — Richard
The Factory contains two In-app Purchases, a bailout and a supply package. Most players should never need these, and indeed if you run out of money you can just start over with a generous initial budget. However, if you just need a small bump to keep going, maybe a bailout is for you. Alternatively if you want to jumpstart a production run, a supply package can save you time.
This game was made as a hobby project more than anything else, and was inspired by the concept of a clicker that clicks for you.

Good concept. The sales tasker keeps selling nonretail items even though you have more than $25. Most of the retail items require more than one item of the same tier to construct. Since you can't have more than one item of the same tier pinned to be auto built by your builders, you can't eliminate the need for manually clicking to construct stuff. It also makes the builder builders and tier 4 builders pointless since each of those items require more than one item of the same tier for construction

Great game with a few issues: * The run in background doesn't work, instead app crashes once you leave it. * There are no notifications to hold the game open so it does run in the background. * Wish there was a way to enter a buy/sell quantity in addition to the +/- system. Ordering 999 of something requires holding down the + for a while.

Very nice game. A minor bug is that you cannot switch to another app and return, even viewing running apps for more than ~3 seconds will cause the game to start back from the loading page. All this does is maybe lose a slight bit of progress, but more annoyingly to me it means I can't have all of the resource requirement lists for every item like I would like. Edit: A solution is to just remember the materials needed. No issues with the game, 5 stars!

For whatever reason the sales count down clock does not seem to function properly in the background. I have also built every machine and yet I am still unable to unlock automation for production, and for some reason there is 2-3 products I am missing in one. Of the tiers for no apparent reason. I feel like I am stuck without any way to progress for no reason other than the game doesn't function correctly.

Fantastic, would be 5 stars but I feel this game could truly benefit from time progressing when the app is closed. For example I had a task that took ~90 minutes to complete, but to my disappointment, when I came back several hours later, it hadn't progressed at all. This in no way ruins the app, I just feel like it could be better. If it looks like something you might enjoy, trust me, it's worth a shot.

Fun at first, but the automation is very limited and I lost interest when I saw that all automation automatically chose just one item to make, and that there was no way to change that. If I was able to pick which items my builders would try to make, then the game would be more awesome and naturally encourage me to keep playing. Even limiting the number of builders (either of each tier or in total) that I have would be fine. Or even just one for each item type automatically assigned would work.

i definitely like this concept but i wish the crafting menu could be collapsed or condensed. having to scroll up and down constantly and sometimes I forget what I was needing to craft for a higher tier item. so i gotta go back and find the thing i was trying to make and then go back up to find that item i needed. i feel like it could be a little more simple

Doesn't run in the background. Also, there's no reward system after unlocking all the items, so it gets stale very fast. And there are no large profit items. When buying/selling you have to hold to purchase large quantities instead of being able to buy the max amount all at once, and manufacturing is worse because you have to individually tap repeatedly unless you have the flawed auto builders. Ok at first but the game gets boring and monotonous quickly.

This game is interesting and engaging, but terribly frustrating. The main goal is to build stuff in a factory and make a profit. You can eventually build automation to make more stuff faster with fewer clicks. However, the logic in the automatons is *terrible*. I don't know if this was done on purpose to make the game challenging or accidentally because it's hard to do, but either way it takes most of the fun out of the game. The seller starts selling things at a loss, builders aren't efficient.

I love this game, i love the element of buying a bunch of randome materials and seeing what they make from the basic 14 things you can make. The tutorial is easy, it explains the mechanics of the game in a non confusing way. Although i did find something that doesn't really make sense, and that is when you sell something that takes over 2 minutes, once it hits 2 minutes, it goes to 1 minute it makes you wait an entirely new minute then it counts down from 60. Just trying to help.

Good game to waste a bit of time on. Needs quality of life improvements, and as it is, when you build all the robots you can (and there is an arbitrary limit for each of them. ...for some reason.) There's... nothing to do left. No real goal to work towards. Nothing new to build. Not even any real way you can waste your heaps of money. It'd be nice to at least be able to build as many automators as I can. Enjoy exponential growth. Could've served as a bit of a commentary on industrial growth.

I love this developer because they have created us a game that is not like any other I have seen. There are no ads, and they are updating it frequently. Amazing job. Keep up the great work. One thing I would like to see is a more refined automation system. I don't like that the seller machine sells all my supplies while I am trying to build tier 1, 2, and 3 objects.

This is really cool. Kinda gives me armory and machine vibes, bit a little less grindy. I would like there to be an option to see how many raw materials something has though, as well as some a way to see what you're close to unlocking. It would also be cool for some kind of market supply/demand feature to be implemented. For example, if I sell 500 bridges, the value will go down

Its a decent game. I enjoyed trying to figure out the best strategy to generate revenue automatically, but once found you run out of new things to do quickly. The automated buying and selling need work. There is no way to specify which items to buy or which to sell. If you are building tier 3 items, you don't really want to sell off the components. Also, it would be nice to automate more than 1 item from each tier for manufacturing.

Really good game. Sad I unlocked everything. The purchasing needs more work. Really wish that you didn't have to click or press to buy things. Maybe just type "999". Also the purchaser doesn't keep buying past 10 items. Gets old fast and slows production. I got to a point where I just mass produced jets, liquidated ALL inventory, and deleted the game.

Good concept, but I dislike that the purchaser cant be directed on what to purchase. I dont need rare metals as much. It would be nice to have a streamlined process from beginning to end. Also no idle feature. It would be nice to log off and come back to at least a few things made. I would even take a slower process ig offline. (IE takes a minute to make a box, I would accept 5+ minutes per box offline).

Great concept and almost a 5 star game but automation is awful. If you could choose what's selected it would be great. I built the auto purchaser and it wiped all my money out as soon as it was made. Also when waiting on sales, you have to be in app, so I was selling things that had times of 40 minutes, that's an obscene amount of time to sit in game, unless you play for an hour a day and make all your moves I can that time. This is my only complaint, fix this and it's a 5 star experience

As a manufacturing student, I like the game concept. Of course, the part of me that wants instant satisfaction doesn't like waiting for the robot to build what I want, but overall it's a good time killer. Two things I would want to change are that there's only one tier 1 robot building (as far as I know so far) and I'd like more in-depth graphs on the game page.

Must say, I've enjoyed this game since I've tried it out. No ads, and is a great game for offline players. A few things I think should improve. (1) The item you are building, with the required items, replace it with "Need: x". It's a bit cluttered trying to figure out how many items you need. (2) There should be a "Go" button to the required items that you need to build your main item. It's annoying scrolling up and down again and again to find the item. Other than that, it's a great game.

I really like this game, however I don't like how the automation can only focus one item at a time. Also, can you add in extra settings for how the game works, ex: how many supplies you can keep in your inventory at a time, being able to disable restricted mode and others to improve gameplay. Edit: coming back to retry, and I'm noticing that the ai can only sell boxes for some reason, and it will create whatever it likes, instead of keeping a set amount to save resources for other materials.
