ABOUT THE GAME

If you place a mining machine,
The flow of the factory begins to move.

``DeFacto'' is a factory simulation that builds automated equipment in the limited terrain of an asteroid. Mining machines are placed in ore deposits and raw materials are transported to furnaces and factories to be turned into more valuable products.

01

Place mining machine in resource area

Look at the location of the raw materials scattered on the map and place the mining machine to the ore deposit. Terrain and resource spacing are the initial design conditions that determine subsequent transport routes.

02

Consolidate transportation, refining, and manufacturing into one flow

Raw materials are transported using inserters, conveyors, and bridges, refined in furnaces, and multiple materials are combined into products at the factory. It is necessary to align the orientation and input/output for each piece of equipment.

03

Create a robot and send it into space

Funds obtained from sales are used for the next equipment and recipes to gradually create more complex products. The ultimate goal is to launch a rocket full of robots and continue exploring the galaxy.
