I really like the Factory Town series, it’s a solid blend of colony builder and automation. The idle model is built on a very well-designed system and can easily keep you engaged for a few weeks. While it requires some active attention at the beginning, later on you can progress quite quickly thanks to the offline hour-gains. The interface and QoL features are very well done, and once you understand the underlying mechanics, it becomes a very comfortable and relaxing/chill game to play. Without playing too aggressively, it can be completed in about two to three months, and many players could probably finish it much much sooner. I’d definitely recommend picking it up on sale if you enjoy the genre.

Wholehearted recommendation. It's a rare sight to see an idle game that has a lot to do, a good pace of progress and the humbleness to realize that perhaps the game doesn't need to be 800 hours long and turn into a half-addiction. Simply put, this game has over 30 hours of active progression, which ironically is about the same amount as those extremely long idle games. Thanks for the experience, game dev cowboy.

Solid little incremental game. I got about ~14 hours of playtime, almost all active. The game is generous with offline time, so there is no typically no need to leave it open. Same theming as Factory Town, but quite a different gameplay loop. (Some 'spoilers' below) The fundamental gameplay activity is building buildings - harvesters of natural resources, processors, then shops to sell them to generate coins. Workers can be assigned to recipes in those buildings, and the ratios/outputs balanced to achieve a nice stable economy. Over time perks are unlocked, provided various bonuses. The amount of recipes and buildings rapidly grows unmanageable. Some quality-of-life automation is made available just in time before it becomes annoying. Overall the timing of the automation unlocks was good. Unlike many other incrementals, there is no direct 'prestige' mechanic. Instead after a certain point, other biomes are unlocked allowing you to build parallel towns (whilst your original still exists and continues in normal time). Eventually you're managing up to 8 towns. This feels a little like spinning plates. It is not punishing, there is no negative for resources running out other than lost time, so it is mainly just clicking. This part of the game felt a little tedious, as the different biomes eventually all began to act roughly identical and so it felt like busy work. Luckily this was close to the end. I would have liked one more automation unlock to smooth this end-game (automatically claim all upgrades, or building buildings in multiple biomes would have been nice) I bought this game on sale (50% off) and felt like it was worth my money. Recommended for incremental fans - numbers go up!

This is my kind of "idle" game. Which is to say it's more of a simulator with heavy micromanagement and an addicting level of 'numbers go up'.
