Captain of Industry

I've played a lot of production simulator games (Factorio, Satisfactory, car production simulators, etc.) this is one of the best. I worked in an industrial production environment as an engineer my whole career (nuclear power, oil refining, and polymer production), and this game comes as close as I've seen to being realistic as far as production chains go (raws in, finished products out)... not perfect, but the inaccuracies are probably to maintain playability. A definite buy!

Very good game, there's lots of research progression which is nice. However it desperately needs the ability to dig tunnels and build bridges, you can make concrete very early on but it seems wasted as all you make is concrete blocks, it should be used in large quantities to build bridges and tunnels then it would be worth your time making it. You can use the excavators to dig a channel through a mountain to access other map areas however they need to bring the whole mountain down which is crazy

I like it. Take look it as peacful Factorio, no enemies, micro management, industry planing... As soon game take my 50h of attention att 44 years old gamer, i must give thumb up

The idea for the game is cool, but after trying to play the game, the grid lock is terrible, no matter what you do or how you play the game you’re always going to grid lock your game then after about 3 hours of trying to figure it out you realise your missing limestone to make bricks and you can’t trade for anymore items with your neighbour to get bricks so you have to restart

I Jolly Roger'ed it for a week, unsure if i would have the patience to learn it. It kinda hooked me in a weird way. So i bought it. I have a feeling once i get more comfortable with the production chains, I will really love this game. Right now it's a bit frustrating and i feel like the tutorial goals should go on longer. I kinda catch myself just staring at the screen while the diggers dig and the loggers log. It's a bit of an odd title of you're used to factorio or satisfactory, as it just feels different in a more frustrating way. Hard to explain, but i still give it a thumbs up. Essentially, this makes me want to play any of the other factory games instead, but I am burned out on those other games...so I keep banging my head against this one hoping I can get over the learning curve. If you are a patient person who loves figuring things out and solving brain burning issues while micro managing supply chain issues, then you will love this one. For me, its just a mid to...

tldr I really want this game to be good and will come back and play much more down the road. The mining and dumping and terrain managing sets this game a part and the vehicles are great and super unique. I felt like a kid in the sandbox playing with trucks..... until the factory side of things. I'll start with this, I have hundreds of hours in factorio and satisfactory. This game needs better balancing. It simply should not require 10,000 construction parts for everything I do and everything just burns through parts. I would love to be able to make a factory, get all the ratios correct, check it off my list, and move on, not having to worry about that basic recipe factory ever causing me a problem again. I unfortunately feel as though I just sat around for 30 hours trying to build cool factories whilst the game fought me. Like my crude oil runs out and it's an absolute chore to move things and deconstruct and the trucks taking forever to do things got old fast. Some of the overly compl...

Great game! like cities skylines, factorio, and satisfactory had a baby

Still learning after 180+ hours. always remaking things for better efficiency. It would be really cool if the weather/rain was a bit more involved.. erosion? make use of ditches and direct water etc? idk just a thought otherwise i really like the game, I have not go into the Trains/Space etc yet but im sure it will be fun too

Early access review 9/2025: 1000 hours played This is a stable city-builder game with good complexity of research trees and production lines, with a vast amount of total production paths to understand to build a thriving island system. The newly released update adds more space content and asteroid capture systems to replenish the limited resources on your island. This is an open ended game that generally has been very stable to play with very few crashes or issues. The graphics are fairly engaging and the player needs to focus on creating a good system of logistics to survive and scale into the endgame and not suffer from the "not enough vehicles" scaling problems. The best part of this game is the terrain management system, where you can plan to mine and reshape the terrian, and construct new terrain, in a unique way that is the best I've come across in city builders. Each main release has added content to the game but with the latest release I can't quite imagine if there's any...

This game is definitely in the top three of automation, alongside Factorio and Dyson Sphere Program,. Even if it's an automation game, It differentiates itself enough with its own gameplay mechanics,
