Design and build a factory deep underground in this physics-based automation sandbox. Mine resources, buy machines and master the chaos as you become the ultimate Mine Mogul!

Build A Sprawling Factory

Enjoy the casual construction of massive, interconnected factories deep underground. Wind conveyors through twisting mineshafts, connect machines, and harness physics to automate your every need.

Explore The Unknown

Venture into the mysterious, hollowed shell of a forgotten cave system. Discover secrets, unearth hidden resources, and rebuild among the ruins of abandoned mining operations. Every cavern holds new opportunities for the ambitious mogul.

Welcome to the world’s weirdest factory. You don’t swing swords or cast spells, instead you build tiny heroes out of shapes, and hope for the best as they come up against endless swarms of increasingly brutal enemies. All in a day’s work!

Drop shapes onto conveyor belts to craft self-operation heroes.
Want a soldier? Try a circle and a triangle.
Want a tank? Try circle and square.
Heroes fight on their own, you’re just there to make the decisions.

Enemies get weirder, stronger and ruder as you progress
Defend your Portal from swarming pests and brute squads
Earn magical artifacts and upgrade your factory like there's no tomorrow.

Different playable characters - ‘Masters’ - have different hero types and build strategies
Experiment with different characters to unlock their Arcane Knowledge (permanent upgrades)
Find a playstyle that suits you best

You can’t control your troops, but you can outsmart the darkness waiting to gobble up your kingdom, one conveyor belt at a time.

newly discovered planet. Bring supplies to the cities and manage its terraformation.

Extract minerals, transform and transport them to the cities, so that they can expand and progress.
Build terraforming devices, such as greenhouse gas factories, in order to progressively warm up the atmosphere, make the ice melt and make rain fall, until rivers and oceans form. Then, when the conditions are met, you will be able to plant trees and watch them grow into large forests.

Plan B: Terraform is a calm and contemplative science-fiction game based on a credible near future. It also offers an educational approach to greenhouse effects and water cycle mechanisms.

Earth has a very hard time limiting global warming and its catastrophic consequences. Humanity needs a plan B in order to ensure its survival. This is up to you!

Innovations:

Huge planetary scale playground, composed of more than a million hexagons.
The "real" terraformation of a planet, with a global and real-time simulation of temperature, vegetation, rain and water flowing to form dynamic rivers and oceans.
Radical evolution of the population, from a few inhabitants to a million and more.

Factorio: Space Age continues the player's journey after launching rockets into space. Discover new worlds with unique challenges, exploit their novel resources for advanced technological gains, and manage your fleet of interplanetary space platforms.

Space platforms

The backbone of planetary logistics and the first foray into space. Space platforms are flying factories that act as the means of transportation between planets.

Build defenses to shoot down incoming asteroids which threaten to smash your platform.
Catch asteroid chunks, crush them and process them into thruster fuel and turret ammunition.
Use the Platform hub and Cargo bays to shuttle cargo between planets.

Vulcanus

Blazing volcanic mountains, imposing geological landforms, plains blanketed in ash, and thick yellow sulfuric fog that burns your lungs and etches your eyes.

Extract and refine tough unbreakable Tungsten to craft big mining drills and foundries.
Pull lava from the pits to produce an abundance of molten iron and copper.
Research advanced metallurgic technologies to build an industrial forge-world.

Fulgora

A lifeless and desolate place. The thin air is freezing cold but bone dry. A distant sun twinkles in the dull purple of the sky. Wispy clouds race by as a gale whips up sand that grates against your armour.

Protect yourself from the nightly lightning storms, harness their unrelenting power for your own electricity needs.
Reclaim the high-tech scraps and ruins of a long-forgotten civilization and recycle them into usable products.
Unlock the advanced electromagnetic and superconducting powers of Holmium.

Gleba

A vibrant multi-coloured swampy landscape shrouded in a light mist. The air is thick and humid, carrying the muffled cries of unseen animals from far away.

Discover exotic plants, cultivate and harvest their fruits with Agriculture towers.
Cook, crush, and process your produce before they rot and turn to spoilage.
Venture into a new realm of biochemical engineering.

Aquilo

It's day, but stars still twinkle in the dark sky. You count the planet's sun among the stars, larger and brighter than the others, but still so distant you can barely feel its warmth at all. A howling wind chills you to the bone and gently rocks the iceberg you are sitting on.

Build heat pipes to keep your machines operational in the freezing cold.
Extend your factory by building ice platforms.
Unlock the power of cryogenic technologies and fusion power.

Elevated rails

Take your trains to the next level! Elevated rails bring a whole new dimension of challenge and possibility to your rail networks.

Heavy-duty rail ramps and supports to elevate your rails.
Cross over any obstacles, build supports on the water to cross oceans.
Design advanced multi-level intersections to optimize your train system.

Quality

Make high tiers of quality of all your items, machines and equipment.

Every Item, Entity, and Equipment has 5 possible qualities, from Normal to Legendary!
Research the new Quality modules, use them to craft higher quality items and intermediates.
Each level of quality gives a greater bonus, machines craft faster, equipment is more powerful, turrets have increased range, etc.

New enemies and defenses

Some new planets are inhabited by unique and dangerous creatures you will need to defend against.

Space Age Music

Each new planet is accompanied by a unique soundtrack by Czech composer Petr Wajsar.

1+ hour of music for each of the new Planets + Space.
Professionally recorded orchestral performance.

What others say about the game

"This is honestly one of my dream games. I love Factorio but it’s such a time sink. I’ve always wanted a good logistics game that could just run in the background. As long as it gets regular updates I can see myself coming back to it for years"
"It’s one of the best idle games I’ve found."
"This game is the perfect incremental of factorio, I swear!"

FOUNDRY is a first-person (first-robot?) factory builder with complete creative freedom set in a procedurally generated and infinite voxel world.

Land on an unexplored planet and design a giant automated robot production facility under the watchful direction of your AI friend, Carl. Navigate the complexities of interstellar trade and sell your products through interplanetary trade networks to reach your final goal: galactic industrial domination.

Progress from manual resource extraction to a fully automated and perfectly optimized factory.
Construct towering machinery and snaking networks of conveyor belts and pipes with no limits on where you build.
Explore a vibrant voxel world and sculpt the landscape block by block.
Research new, more advanced technologies to meet the demands of your ever-growing production lines.
Personalize your creation by unlocking decorative items and new color options.
Maintain a complex power system to keep your factory running at top speed.
Work solo or recruit outside contractors in online or LAN co-op multiplayer.
Create an enormous factory complex stretching from deep underground to the planet’s surface and the skies above.

Build Anything, Anywhere

Create a mechanically magnificent factory and a work of industrial art integrating your creation into the environment around you. Set up your machines far below the surface, high in the sky and everywhere in between. Grid-based construction gives you precise control over where and what you build.

Land on an unexplored planet and explore a procedurally generated sandbox. Journey through dense jungles, gigantic mountain ranges, and great plains stretching into the horizon, with even more to discover beneath the surface.

Automate Everything

Design intricate systems of conveyor belts, long-distance transport networks, pipes and elevators from deep underground to automate your research. Unlock more advanced, complex and faster technology to optimize your factory and maximize production.

You’ll start by crafting items and harvesting resources manually but will soon find yourself setting up assembly lines piece by piece to devise a system that flows perfectly. Combine form, fit and function to create a smooth setup that effortlessly transforms raw materials into galaxy-grade robot products without you lifting a metallic finger.

Optimize to Perfection

Bottlenecks are your enemies. Remember to maintain a delicate balance between inputs and outputs so that productivity reaches its maximum potential, enabling you to progress through an extensive research tree.

Ensure that manufacturing runs at full speed. Keep your power supply well-fed and, as your factory expands, unlock upgraded machinery, advanced power generators and new customization options that will add efficiency and a splash of color to your production lines.

Work solo or collaborate in co-op and engineer creative solutions to complex logistical challenges in a vast voxel world.

Welcome to the TAU System, Station Commander!

Build, expand and exploit every resource you can to construct a planet-spanning space-based industrial complex the likes of which the galaxy has never seen.

Construct Robot Freighters, Wormholes and even harness the awesome power of Antimatter in your quest for ever-greater industrial mastery.

Atomize asteroids, mine ores, deploy cloud-miners and more to gather raw materials ready to be processed into advanced materials, items and parts.

Set up elaborate supply-chains, automate resource-gathering and optimize your stations to fulfill your objectives as efficiently as possible.

Construct Starships to complete objectives and unlock ever-more-advanced technologies to aid you on your mission to bring this hostile alien star system to heel.

Civilian and Military vessels will need vastly different and more complex construction techniques - some more dangerous to you and your station than others.

Found multiple stations across numerous planets in order to exploit rare resources and connect them together via wormhole to create interstellar supply chains.

But beware: you are not the only force in this alien star system and you'll need to protect yourself and your station to thrive out here.

Recover mysterious alien artifacts along the way and use them to unlock powerful upgrades for your Station and Drone - letting you take the fight to anything that stands in your way.

Upgrade your weapons, add shields or afterburners to navigate hostile areas with ease, or increase your station power and production efficiency.

Join forces with up to 4 players in online PVE co-op mode and share exploration, combat and construction tasks between you.

Share tasks and to-do lists between your team to fully maximise efficiency.

society is long gone, the world is overrun by the Dream Plagues. The only survivors are small nomadic tribes that don’t attract too much attention. And now, the discovery of a long-abandoned project of the ancients lights a new hope - the flight-capable Nomad Cities.

Build an industrious flying city

Your city’s population and economy form the backbone of your survival. Running out of food or resources can be just as dangerous as meeting a Dream Plague in the wilds. Plan and build automated production lines, and keep your people housed, happy and well fed.

Survive until the last moment - then run!

Fortify your city and defend it against raids for as long as you can. But even the ancients were unable to withstand the Dream Plagues forever - the longer you stay, the stronger they become. Unlike the ancients, however, you are able to grab your entire city and just fly away when things become too rough.

Balance expansion and disposable buildings to be left behind

Your city’s area is limited. You’ll have to balance between expensive long-term upgrades to expand your city, and building disposable infrastructure that will be left behind. Carefully choose which buildings you take with you and which you can live without - at least for a while.

Find and exploit scarce resources across different biomes

Resources are rare, and you’ll need a lot of them to turn your city into a self-sufficient empire. Good thing you can always move to another area when you’ve depleted everything around you. Every biome has an unlimited variety of procedurally generated landing areas, that each have different resources, opportunities, and challenges.

Explore the world with a customizable Steambot

The wilderness is swarming with Dream Plagues. To explore your surroundings, you directly control a unique Steam-Bot in real time action. You will upgrade, equip and customize that Steam-Bot to your preferred play style.

Discover ancient ruins

The world is full of ancient ruins and strange mysteries. As you fly and land in different areas, you will discover these places and exploit them. As you progress with story missions, you will discover some of the history and lore of this strange world.

Research, craft, and upgrade your infrastructure

The ancients used advanced Dream-Tech, most of which is now lost to the ages and to the Dream Plagues. In your flying city you will be able to build advanced research facilities and discover some of these secrets - unlocking advanced buildings and new crafting recipes for your Steam-Bot.

Upgrades to your infrastructure provide permanent bonuses and abilities to best fit your preferred playstyle. Spend hard-earned upgrade points on your Steam-Bot’s combat prowess and raid enemy nests for precious resources, on your city’s defenses to build an impenetrable fortress, or on your administrative and economic abilities to build a thriving, rich, mega-factory.

Carefully manage your fuel and weight

Keep a close eye on your city’s weight and fuel reserves. Being stranded at the wrong moment is a sure way to become extinct.","https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/1076750/page_bg_raw.jpg?t=1745568921",[6517],{"_16":210,"_211":6518,"_225":6522,"_227":74,"_27":74,"_228":127,"_229":230,"_231":232},[6519],{"_214":6386,"_215":6520,"_217":64,"_218":127,"_219":74,"_220":70,"_221":6521,"_223":237},"Dream Engines: Nomad Cities - 29,99€ 17,99€","-40% ","Buy Dream Engines: Nomad Cities",{"_235":237,"_236":5463,"_238":2486,"_240":5997,"_242":291,"_244":5465},"https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/1076750/capsule_184x69.jpg?t=1745568921",{"_250":6526,"_252":6527},"Minimum:

What is Kubifaktorium?

Build, manage and grow a thriving settlement in Kubifaktorium, a relaxed voxel-based colony management and automation game. The game features multiple biomes to explore, plenty of resources to exploit, complex transport systems and automations to build and interesting production chains to master.

Colony Building and Management

The heart of your colony consists of loyal colonists who will gather resources, farm crops and craft tools and weapons. Every colonist is unique, with their own set of skills which evolve based on the jobs they perform. Managing your colonists’ needs and abilities is vital to ensuring your colony's efficiency.

Different Biomes

In the course of the campaign you will explore and colonize multiple islands and encounter four different biomes. Each biome features new challenges but also new resources to discover and process.

Logistics and Transportation

As your colony grows and your production hums along, transporting the resources you need becomes more and more challenging. Kubifaktorium features a number of transportation systems like trains, conveyor belts, zeppelins and more. Automated depots and inserters are there to help you store, sort and keep track of all your goods.

Automation

While your colonists are highly motivated, their work power is limited. Fortunately, your colonists know how to craft advanced machinery like automated farms, smelters, crushers etc., which you can use to automate more and more of your production.

Mod Support

Kubifaktorium is built to be mod friendly and allows players to create anything from localizations, new goods and industries to total conversions with new terrains and scenery. The game supports publishing and sharing mods via the Steam Workshop.

User Interface and Accessibility

The game is designed to be easy to learn and hard to master. Multiple tutorials and extensive tooltips will teach you the game’s mechanics. The game’s campaign is built to introduce the different mechanics over time. Finally, a recommendation system can help you along when playing custom maps.

is a survival game in which you start from a simple cell, striving to survive by assimilating resources from a sort of primordial broth.

Through evolution you will be able to slowly become a more advanced organism which will have to deal with all the benefits and drawbacks of it: you will need more energy, more complex resources and you will have to manage more high level processes (eg. digestion, circulation) to survive: you’ll become a fully fledged organism composed by many subsystems which must cooperate in a perfect balance.

Each subsystem will have its own quirks and way to be managed, finally forcing you create synergies between all of them.

In addition to this there will be external or internal interferences given by possible diseases: viruses, bacteria, wounds which must be healed and so on.

Once the rule for this micro-world are set, the gameplay possibilities are endless!

FEATURES

Burn: energy is a crucial aspect of the game, you will be able to produce ATP, which can be considered energy stored in a battery, through glycolysis and even mitochondrial respiration! Energy will be used to power building both inside the cell and outside the cell.

Evolve: evolution will let the player discover new elements of gameplay which will make the organism more complex but able to become larger and larger! Starting from circulation and leading to brain and neurons. There will be some utility evolution steps which will be used to give you better tools to optimize all the logistics.

Grow: you start as a small organism and soon you will need to expand to make room for more structures and access better and novel resources in the outside broth. This will be done by expanding chunk by chunk wherever you want through production of the required scaffold and tissue materials!

Supply: once the organism will be large enough, transporting things between building with microtubules won’t be enough. In addition there’s no way to directly transport materials outside cells so circulation will be fundamental. You will need pumps, arteries, veins and capillaries to supply or take away materials.

Defend: viruses, bacteria, fungi and parasites. There are a lot of dangerous things outside! It will be necessary to defend against these threats by using your immune system to defeat them!

Survive: a working organism requires some parameters to be stable in their correct ranges, this is called homeostasis. Temperature, oxygen, pH are all parameters that will need to be regulated to avoid perishing.

Heal: what happens if the organism gets wounded? It will need to heal, possibly through hemostasis to stop bleeding, and then through regeneration of tissue.

Breathe: most of the energy used by a living organism is produced by cellular respiration which requires oxygen and produces carbon dioxide. To breath in the former and breath out the latter you will need respiratory tissue connected to your circulary system.

Digest: at the beginning of the game, simple resources will be necessary but later in the game you will need to digest complex resources (food) into basic elements, you will need teeth, stomach and intestine. You will also need to synthesize a lot of enzymes which are used in the whole process.

Dispose: well, everything that is not used as a resource is useless and possibly toxic to an organism. That’s why you will need a way to filter out toxins with kidneys, but also get rid of useless materials through other ways.

Think: at some point the organism could want to automate management of the subsystems through finer regulations, that’s where neurons come into play: with sensors and logic you would be able to set specific rules which will make behavior of the organism automatic.

The Game

In Final Factory, create a space-faring factory as vast as the cosmos. Explore and expand across space on an infinitely generating map, filled with stars, planets, black holes, the ruins of an ancient civilization, and ancient artifacts that will help your factory.

Automate Everything

Set up automation to make all aspects of your stations run like clockwork. Design space stations and connect them through careful logistical planning. Use your infrastructure to advance through a sprawling tech tree. Automate the production of a massive fleet of ships that will grant you special abilities and help you defend your base against the local aliens.

Design Space Ships

Every station in Final Factory can move! Slap a rocket onto anything to make it go faster. Design huge battleships that can house their own fleets for battle. Send out exploration vessels to explore new parts of the map. Or design and program cargo haulers to carry items to different parts of your factory.

Build Mega Structures

Create mega structures like Dyson Spheres and Dark Star Gates to super charge your factory and delve deeper into the unexplored reaches of space. Build a mega-factory with massive scale across an infinite map.

Command Your Fleet

The local aliens aren't happy about your presence in the system. Command a great fleet to defend your factory and expand. Gain access to new abilities depending on your fleet composition and take on your enemies in bullet-hell style combat. Or play the game on pacifist mode for a relaxed experience!

Wishlisting helps a bunch!

Learning Factory is a relaxing automation game, which lets you concentrate on the most important task in the Universe: making cats happy again.

You're a humble genius scientist who gets invited to become the chief engineer at an abandoned Factory on Mars, designed to produce and sell exquisite goods for cats. It was conceived to learn everything about cats and make them happy, but it is desolated now, and cats are leaving Factory Stores unhappy and empty-pawed.

Now you have a chance to continue the research and development of goods that feline hearts long for! Simply follow these steps on your way to a scientific breakthrough:

Renovate an abandoned factory on Mars
Design and automate production chains
Produce and sell exquisite goods to cats
Collect and analyze data with Machine Learning
Scale and make the factory more efficient
Make cats happy!
Rebuild the ancient Monument
Establish Catopia in the feline society!

Sales at the Factory Stores generate tons of data which is later analyzed by real-life machine learning in order to unlock the in-depth nature of the feline mind.

But hey: no pressure! In this fail-safe environment, the key to success is to keep trying and stay curious. Experiment, optimize, automate - and keep creating a giant cat-catering factory on Mars. Eventually you will find the key to a better future for humans and cats (and also maybe dogs, dogs are kinda ok, too)!

The game is backed up with real Machine Learning, links to handpicked educational videos, and an in-game wiki to be used as learning material.
