Factory Planner

Factory Planner is a card-based strategy and simulation game about building a factory from scratch. You combine cards, manage resources and optimize production lines, shaping the factory through your planning and layout choices. The sandbox lets you experiment at your own pace, with no time limits or enemy pressure.

Build production chains

Use Facility, Organization, Engineer and Resource cards to gather materials, produce goods, store items, distribute power and improve efficiency. Each card has its own inputs, outputs and behavior, so you need to plan where to place it and how to connect it. Connections carry solid materials, liquids or power; they snap to 90-degree angles and can be broken, rearranged and adjusted to your setup.

Manage power and flow

Thermal generators supply power to your machines, while splitters and mergers help control its distribution. If demand exceeds supply, systems shut down and the grid alerts you. Storage units have limited capacity: disconnected outputs can jam production, and excess materials can stop collection, so you need to balance transfer speeds and flow.

Assign and upgrade cards

Assign Engineer cards to production and storage units to improve efficiency, unlock recipes or reduce energy use. Assignments take effect after the current production cycle, making timing part of your planning. You can craft new cards and upgrade existing ones, then unlock more complex cards as you progress.

Expand your factory

Monitor active cards, working engineers, your Facredit balance and other factory information. Alerts flag problems such as full storage, missing materials and power failures. Begin with resources such as wood and iron, then unlock sulfur, uranium and eventually factories powered by nuclear energy.
