ABOUT THE GAME
Place equipment and connect flow
This is a factory management game where conveyors connect equipment for purchasing raw materials, equipment for processing, and equipment for selling products. Automate production and transportation, check equipment capacity and required quantities, and increase income and factory size.
GAMEPLAY
Pass transportation route between equipment
Place equipment and conveyors on the factory floor. The upper row of the image is a line connecting the purchase, processing, and sales of iron, and the lower row is a section in the process of being rearranged. The arrow on the conveyor indicates the direction in which the resources are being transported.

Assemble placement and transportation separately
Select equipment from Components on the left and click inside the factory to place it. Connect the conveyor by dragging it from inside the departure equipment to the destination equipment. In addition to arranging equipment adjacent to each other, we also design how resources will be transported.
Combine equipment according to production volume
The initial Iron ore buyer buys 1 iron ore every 10 ticks, and the iron foundry makes 1 iron from 2 iron ore every 10 ticks. The ratio of required equipment changes depending on research and enhancement, and can be checked in the table for each equipment.
Use your income to expand your production network
While selling products and earning funds, you can upgrade your equipment, create new products, and expand your factory. Existing equipment can be sold and conveyors can be rerouted, and the layout can be rearranged when production volume changes.
