I have never played factorio but I imagine its just like this. This game has a great art style and is fun to play. Whata bop :)

Submitted

Really cute art style and fun gameplay! I just had 2 small issues: 1. As far as I could tell you can't rotate pistons so I have to place factories further apart so that when placing pistons it doesn't randomly connect in the wrong direction. 2. When I change the type of a factory, its entire inventory is deleted. Aside from those minor problems I really enjoyed it.

Developer

Big thanks for playing the game and I really appreciate the structured review!
1. You can click on a piston to switch directions. But it's never communicated to the player, so thanks for pointing this out!
2. Changing recipe keeps raw materials and destroys intermediates. Fun story: this was actually a last-minute fix as during playtesting my sister has beaten the game with only one factory by only changing recipes (as the factory kept all produced resources). The fix was supposed to nudge players into building many factories but apparently it made you frustrated.

Ooh yeah okay that makes sense. I didn't realise that saving intermediates would allow you to cheese like that. Yea it was mostly that at the start I had trouble setting up a factory for factories as it required 3 factories (iron, computer chips and one to make the factories) but you only start with 2 factories.

Note: While typing this I opened the game back up and saw that you start with 4 factories. I have no idea how I ended up in a situation where I only had 2 but I guess starting with 4 makes my complaint irrelevant haha.

Reminds me of Factorio :) The intro animations were cute. Feel free to check out my submission too if you have the time!

Thanks for playing the game! It's a little something while Factorio fans wait for DLC to drop.
P.S. Your game is very creative and fun! Nice work!
