I cannot in good faith recommend this game to anyone, the concept of a card style factory game is nice however, over 80% of the recipes are direct copies ( down to the ratios ) of Satisfactory. some name changes have been made like Quickwire is called rapid wire, but even the alternate recipes are direct copies of Satisfactory. There are Many factory games out there and each put their own spin on things, and this looked promising but in the end this is just plagiarism. I gave it 8 hours to see if things changed and it did not.

demo or not this game is not one I can support or stand behind.

Sometimes I just want to work the problem with production lines to achieve the solutions.
I saw this on NextFest and it caught my attention with "Factory" in the name but I quickly hit next in the Queue because I thought a card-based game wouldn't be for me. I thought I was looking for something other than this style. Man, I was wrong. After running through the demo a few times and spending a handful of hours playing around with the mechanics and trying to optimize my production lines, I was really having a good time chilling and playing this. Recommended and Wishlisted.

Looks fine in the first impression. I consider so many factors while writing reviews.

+Gameplay is good and not boring for a card game.
+Atmosphere looks fine and futuristic.
+Cards have unique functions so you should play 2-3 hours to understand what you have to do.
+It's fun when you make your factory works with desired efficiency.
+Game keeps you inside. You have to fix alerts for make your factory work. You can spend so many hours with that.
+Although this game is just a demo, i really liked it.


In addition, there are couple of things that may increase gameplay.

+Extracted materials will be good when they stack.
+Connection wires may follow easier paths for a systematic view.
+In/outputs might be bigger for a comfortable connection.

I think that devs are still working on it. I just look forward to see how good this game will be

only a card game in the fact that the game objects are card shaped. There isn't actually any card game elements (drawing, flipping, tapping, concealing, random elements, etc)
basically just Satisfactory Modeler with extra steps but less QoL
cannot control the lines so organization is a nightmare
speed/efficiency unclear
you took away the immersive world that make the game fun instead of tedious and boring.

What a great little twist on the factory/automation genre. I love the art style and the simple game play. It's very chill. Reminds me of other games (such as Mini Settlers and Masterplan Tycoon). Shout out to all the indie developers of factory games!!!!

There are a few things that are a little buggy, such as the card snapping. It doesn't seem like it snaps consistently. Also, the connection between cards seems buggy too and tricky to get without moving the entire card.

But, the game is not even in EA (if they go that route), so these are minor. Overall, solid 8.5/10. Love it!

Its like shape v2.2 with power management upgrades options. kinda like it. Cant make steel pipes and progress probably demo locked.

I like the concept for the game and was really interested in trying it out. Yet when it came down to progressing the game held little to no feeling of progression or achievement for completing tasks. You start with so few abilities to do things, and more is slightly drip fed, but it didn't give a sense of accomplishment when done. Another small nitpick is that machines all look the same for the most part, again small issue but one that i was having when the menu only holds ~4 cards at a time. But overall good game potential.

Fun, minimal factory/automation game. Great style and polish

Demo Build 26/2/25 - 1 hour played
This is a clean and simple automation game inspired (probably) from games like Factorio / Satisfactory. Really easy to get into and visualise. There is a few bugs and QoL issues but seeing as this review is after a couple of days of the demo builds release I think they can be worked on.

[demo] 8/10

the "conveyor" lines are hard to clock / connect
had a bug that made a line broken and i couldn't add or remove the in and out connectors until i loaded a save
cards have a bug that move more than the mouse when holding, but still works on the mouses position
