You play as a FICSIT employee on an alien planet, gathering resources and producing parts to meet manufacturing goals. Explore the landscape to find materials and expand your operations.
Build factories from a first-person perspective, starting with handcrafting and developing production lines that use machines, conveyor belts, pipes, and power. Arrange and expand these systems to make parts automatically.
Progress through milestones and technology unlocks that introduce more production options and ways to transport goods, including vehicles and trains. Choose how and where to build, and play alone or with friends.
Players repeatedly praise the satisfaction of designing and optimizing production lines, watching automation work, and rebuilding factories as new goals and technologies change their plans. Reviews also appreciate the freedom to shape factories and explore the alien world. Some players find the early handcrafting slow, describe complex logistics and repeated redesigns as demanding, or report performance problems as factories grow large.
