Wait Chip's verdict · US updated 21 days ago

Good game, but it sits 100% of the way from its all-time low to full price. It drops harder in seasonal sales. Patience pays. Next likely dip around Jul 20.

Better option Factory Town Idle at $1.24 saves $3.75 against this edition.

About this game

What this game is, in the developer's words

An entire town builder experience packed into a living spreadsheet. Build housing, assign workers, then craft and sell a huge variety of items to level up your town and expand your civilization across the world!

Factory Town Idle is a unique town builder where you manage an entire economy from a simple but powerful set of menus. At the start, simple clicks will harvest resources, create housing & production buildings, and assign workers to craft items. You'll choose which items to sell at the markets, and which to refine into better items. As you gain experience, you'll acquire tools that help automatically manage your growing town - which you will need in order to manage its increasing demands.

Eventually you will gain the ability to expand into exotic biomes, unlocking valuable resources & recipes exclusive to those regions. All along, you'll need to invest your earnings back into research and upgrades so that your town can earn you increasingly large piles of coins.

  • Make gourmet food, machinery, fine clothing, books of knowledge, potions, enchanted jewelry, and many other types of items
  • Discover new recipes as your production skills increase
  • Cultivate crops and prospect for ores to boost natural resources
  • Huge list of quests which unlock powerful perks when completed
  • Use aqueducts, water wheels, steam power, electricity, farm equipment, trains and research labs to give your production a boost
  • Several different Biomes with unique resources, as well as advantages & weaknesses to work around
  • Exchange goods between multiple towns to maximize the benefit of local specialties
  • Detailed production stats let you know where your bottlenecks are so you can keep your supply chain flowing
  • Set production limits and priorities to precisely allocate your resources
  • While away from the game, you earn Time Tokens you can use to fast-forward the simulation when you're ready to play again
