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.

01

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.

02

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.

03

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.
