Factory Town Idle

early game was fun but the late game is a slog and i hurt my hand with all the clicking i have to do to build all of the buildings. the bottlenecks are constant and progression grinds to a halt even when towns are optimized. if i made a review a day or two ago it would have been positive due to progress being at a decent pace. now it is just something to uninstall and forget about.

Tried to find something fun in the game, but in vain.

Picked the game up on sale. It's decent enough to fill some time at the start where clicking helps speed things along. Wouldn't recommend buying outside of a sale Mostly everything is automated, takes a little while to unlock auto research. Would be nice if there was auto buy/claim upgrades, a tad bit annoying having a green arrow light up to notify you something is ready to upgrade, click buy and the arrow lights back up again, click buy and it lights up again. There's a lot of information to display, for me it feels a bit messy and not easy to keep track of multiple in need resources.

Better than Melvor Idle and Runescape combined. Obviously, an overblown statement on my part, but Factory Town Idle is very good and very underrated.

Factory Town Idle is a strategic, resource-management game that blends classic incremental mechanics with the complexities of logistics and production-chain optimization. Developed by Erik Asmussen, known for the original Factory Town, this idle-centric spin-off streamlines the intricate mechanics of its predecessor into a minimalist but deeply satisfying progression system. Though the game strips away the 3D town-building and visual polish of the original, it retains the intellectual core—building an efficient, self-sustaining economy—and packages it into an experience that’s perfect for players who enjoy watching numbers grow and systems evolve. At first glance, Factory Town Idle may seem barebones, with its text-heavy interface and simple node-based menus. However, beneath this modest presentation lies an impressively deep engine of interconnected systems. You begin with a few basic buildings—farms, lumber mills, and houses—and must use these to generate foundational reso...
