Buy Captain of Industry PC key

Captain of Industry is a colony and factory-building game that begins on a remote island with a small crew of workers and a ship full of supplies. You mine resources, reshape the terrain, grow crops, build factories and research technologies as you expand across the island. Your long-term goal is to make the colony self-sufficient, from its early industries to nuclear power and space flight.

Shape the island

The terrain is fully dynamic: you can flatten mountains, fill valleys and reclaim ocean to create more land. Open-pit mines reach deep ore deposits, while excess rock can be dumped into the sea to extend the shoreline. Build ramps and slopes so vehicles can travel between elevations, and use amphibious vehicles and bridges to reach other islands.

Build your factory

Begin with iron smelting, concrete mixing and food processing, then research technologies that let you expand into oil refining, electronics, computing, and the production of rocket and space station components. Manage waste and pollution to protect your people’s health.

Move goods around

Trucks automatically deliver products where they are needed. Conveyor belts and pipes connect machines directly for high-throughput transport, while rail networks carry bulk cargo over long distances. These systems let you move goods between the different parts of your island and its industries.

Support your people

Grow crops on farms and process them into food or industrial products. Fertilizers increase yields, and greenhouses let you grow more advanced crops. Your population needs housing, clean water, electricity, healthcare and household goods. Keeping people happy and healthy earns Unity, which can speed up construction, enact powerful edicts and claim resources on the world map. Poor waste management or rising pollution can spread disease.

Explore and trade

Send your ship to explore the world map. You can discover islands with resources to import, refugees to rescue and allied settlements to trade with. Set up shipping contracts for recurring exchanges or negotiate quick trades when you need supplies. To reach full self-sufficiency, launch rockets, build a space station and mine asteroids for rare resources.

Plan and experiment

Copy and paste parts of your factory, or save entire layouts as blueprints to reuse and share. Planning mode lets you lay out designs before committing resources. You can also design islands in the map editor to play or share, or use sandbox mode, where all buildings and resources are free for experimentation.
