Factor Y

Factor Y is a large-scale factory automation game set across multiple planets. You mine resources, craft items and structures from recipes, and create custom building blocks as you expand your factories.

Build your factory

Use miners, arms and belts to extract a planet’s natural resources and feed them into your production lines. Furnaces turn raw ores into plates, which assemblers use to craft items of increasing complexity. You can also craft structures such as belts and arms to extend your factory.

Research unlocks technologies that increase your factory’s throughput and size, as well as additional structures. Later, you can unlock buffs that affect your current and future factories on all planets.

Custom modules

The planner lets you design blueprints and turn them into custom building blocks called modules. These modules can serve as assemblers that support any recipe, and you can reuse modules you have already created when planning new ones. Use them to expand your factory further.

Colonize other planets

You can colonize new planets and transfer resources between them to connect their factories.

Production and plugins

The game tracks every structure you place and every item you produce, with detailed graphs to review your factory’s output. You can also unlock plugins that add behavior to structures, including filtering for specific items or limiting throughput.
