I love building factories without any time pressures. Also the music and visuals are really relaxing.

As others have said in their reviews, Factory Town is unusual for an automation game in that it is highly 'comfy' and relaxing to play. Not that automation games can't be satisfying in their own right, but Factory Town has an aesthetic and a pace that means you play the game much more chilled than other automation games; there are no enemies to kill nor is the map eventually made up of huge sprawling factories and there's generally no sense of urgency to get things set up. While those aspects are not issues, Factory Town makes a nice change in that you can spend time perfecting your automation network and experimenting with the gameplay features, rather than worrying about ensuring your factory-fortress doesn't fall to the enemy. It's great for playing whilst listening to something in the background.

Great game. I'm gonna go ahead and compare it (favorably) to Factorio: - Cozy cozy cozy cozy. I'm not making flamethrowers to fight aliens. I'm just making bandages for the local drugstore and sandwiches for the tavern. - Soundtrack is very relaxing - Depth is excellent. I'm on level 5/8 and there are already twelve different types of research. - Play your way. There are bonuses if you tap into existing RNG resource spawns, but if you really need them somewhere else, you can plonk them down. - Trains are intuitive yet challenging. You're not going to stare at the screen for fifteen minutes wondering why a train won't leave the station. - Logistics/signaling system goes as deep as you want (probably deeper, tbh) but you don't ever have to use it. - A billion raw materials and another billion things to make out of them. - Piping is way more fun, can be used on a wide variety of materials. If you like the factory genre, especially if you wish it were more bucolic, I would definitely check this one out.

Really solid Factorio Lite. I love how your factory is a town with little peons/villagers hopping all over instead drab factories. It’s very worth it on sale, but just feels like it could still go a step further and be amazing. Runs perfect on my steam deck, however I’d heavily suggest disabling the right hand track pad. Game has bugs when swapping between keyboard and mouse on the fly, just spend the time to learn the gamepad and you won’t have issues. I kept bumping that right hand pad on accident. Only two real complaints come to mind: The tooltips really suck. For a lot of menus there is no tooltip at the bottom describing what is selected or saying what it does. What’s the difference between fertilizer and water on crops? It doesn’t tell you at the farms that use them. Also a lot of item descriptions don’t give you hard data, no conveyor speeds or how many items a caravan can hold or what this research will unlock before you choose it. Or that friggan wagons can’t pass through each other and will cause deadlocked traffic unless you give them an interstate. The descriptions are pretty basic and useless, gets quite annoying. And I’m not sure what I’m going to do when I finish the campaign. Even worse, so far each campaign has just been walking me through a tech tier without any special flavor or anything. Theres no grand goal like launching a rocket or some unique challenge ruleset.

I bought this game in early access and played it for a few hours. Came back a few years ago and 100% completed it and played through all campaigns. Very fun, chill and well-rounded game, would recommend. The UI is a bit clunky at first but after some time you get used to it.
