❤ Gameplay Overview

Players build and operate their own tabletop factory, selecting products to manufacture, planning and executing the production process, and selling the finished goods to customers and the open market. Players must manage a variety of resources, workers, and production machinery to efficiently create over 50 unique product types demanded by the shifting market.

❤ Production Planning

Before manufacturing any item, players must blueprint the full production process, specifying the raw materials, machines, and worker tasks required. This planning stage allows players to optimize their factory layout and production lines, balancing factors like material costs, product quality, and production time to create profitable goods.

❤ Factory Management

Players must hire and assign workers to various roles, from operating machines to transporting materials. Worker productivity, morale, and fatigue must be monitored and balanced. Players must also maintain and upgrade their production equipment, which can break down over time. Carefully arranging the factory layout to minimize worker travel time and bottlenecks is crucial.

❤ Responsive Market

Demand and prices for different products fluctuate over time, requiring players to adapt their production to meet the changing needs. Special timed contracts from clients also regularly appear, offering lucrative rewards for meeting their specific product requirements. This unpredictable market keeps the gameplay engaging and forces players to diversify their factory's capabilities.

❤ Research and Development

As players progress, they unlock an extensive tech tree, allowing them to expand their product offerings, gain access to more efficient production methods, and unlock quality-of-life improvements. Carefully choosing which technologies to research is important for optimizing the player's production strategy.

❤ Emergent Gameplay

The combination of detailed production planning, worker management, responsive markets, and technology tree creates an engaging loop of planning, executing, and adapting. The game's open-ended, sandbox nature also encourages experimentation and the development of unique, personal factory designs.
