Really solid idea. I would never even thought of a card based factory game. If you get this join the discord. There are a lot of tips and such on there and people who can help with bottlenecks and such. There are a few bugs but the game is really cheap and early access. With that said its really fun. I have a pretty unique way of setting up my factory so I was pretty pumped to share it in the discord. I honestly think the way I handle resource gathering could be the standard. Just so much fun figuring out how to accomplish making something using the least amount of cards or trying to figure out which item to sell to maximize profits. There is a really cool adventure part of the game too that you can use as its own factory when you reach about mid game. I'm not sure others have really caught onto that but yah you can totally set it up as a factory itself getting a certain resource you need without setting up a whole new production line. Its pretty cool figuring stuff like that out for new games. I've also heard them talk about a lot of stuff they are working of for future updates and it'll be pretty cool. Pretty pumped about it. Great job with this game everyone. Seriously unique idea.
Cool game. Its a card version of factorio. The game needs music and the tutorial needs voice over so people can feel more immersed into the game. Lots of reading at first. But once you get the hang of the game, it gets easy. Laid back factory strategy game, once you get the hang of it, its a pretty cool game. I had to stop playing after 4 hours, because I was falling asleep. Not because the game was boring, It was because there is nothing in the background accept some very atmospheric wind sound. Which never changes. This game needs music of some kind and lots of it so it doesn't get bored from repetition. Thumbs up.
First up, the memory leak is fixed, hooray! Play remains snappy as long as you last. This is a great "relaxation" game, gameplay is straight forward and there is no need to rush. Nothing is coming to smash down your factory. Resouces can be mined indefinitely, so you won't hard lock your game by turning all your iron into iron boxes when you needed some to make steel. The game is still early access and many things seem to still be being tuned. Resource requirements for certain items seem to vary rather widely (some production chains are a lot smaller and simpler than other similar things). I haven't played a lot of other "factory" games so can't really say how this game compares to some of the more popular ones. (I do love Mindustry, though it is a very different experience).
Congratulations to the developers; you truly have a fantastic game here. As someone who respects the grind of indie studios, I want this game to succeed. However, I’m leaving a negative review for now to highlight critical issues that hinder the experience. 1. Performance & Technical Health Memory Leak: There is a severe memory leak. After ~2 hours of continuous play, performance degrades significantly. It’s currently outperforming Google Chrome in RAM consumption. The Solution: Implementing Unity’s ECS (Entity Component System) would likely resolve these bottlenecks and scale the simulation properly. 2. User Interface (UI) & Quality of Life The "Click" Tax: Management games are driven by data. Having to click every single card to see stats is tedious. Data Visibility: We need persistent info on the Base UI. Example: A clear (Used Energy / Total Energy) tracker. Hover States: Cards should display production rates (e.g., "Mining: 30/min") on a quick hover or via a side-bar toggle. 3. Balance & Progression Economy Scaling: Upgrade costs are currently disconnected from the natural progression curve, creating frustrating plateaus. Mission Logic: Tasks often request resources that are impossible to obtain at the player's current stage. Missions should be dynamic and context-aware based on the board state. 4. Organization Labeling: We need the ability to rename groups or cards. Managing complex production lines becomes a guessing game without basic organization tools. Summary The core loop is great, but the exploration feels unintuitive and the performance issues make long sessions impossible. I will happily flip this to a "Recommended" review once at least the performance issues are fixed! [ After - Update - 1.0.7 ] I previously roasted this game for eating more RAM than Google Chrome. Today, I am happy to report that my PC no longer sounds like a jet engine preparing for takeoff. The devs actually listened! The performance update is magic—this thing now runs like butter, even on a potato PC. The visuals are gorgeous, and the game feels great to look at. ( besides the main menu , need polish ). However, while the engine is fixed, the steering wheel is still a bit sticky: The "Click Tax" remains: My index finger hates me. We still need better persistent data on the UI without hovering over every single card. The Mid-Life Crisis: The balance/scaling issues (Point 3 from my old review) are still there. End-Game Snooze: Once you reach the top, there's nowhere to go. The endgame currently feels a bit empty and lacks that "just one more turn" addictive quality. Organization: Being able to rename things (Point 4) is better, but it still feels a bit clunky. It needs a bit more polish to be truly useful. Verdict: The devs proved they can fix the hard technical stuff, so I have faith they’ll fix the design stuff. The game is beautiful and runs smoothly now. Recommended! (But please save my mouse finger).
