About
Factory Planner allows players to construct complex industrial networks using a unique card-linking system. Extract resources, manufacture products, and manage efficiency to transform a wild alien planet into a thriving automated powerhouse. It blends the depth of factory simulation with the accessible, tactile nature of card-based gameplay.
Story
You are tasked with the industrialization of an uncharted alien world. From taming grumpy local fauna to excavating hazardous biomes like Black Swamps and Limestone Quarries, you must advance your colony's technology from basic stone tools to the nuclear age while managing the environmental challenges of a foreign planet.
Gameplay
The core loop involves connecting cards to create production chains—linking a Miner card to a Container, then to a Smelter. Players must balance energy grids, manage storage capacity, and utilize Engineer cards for specialized tasks. The game emphasizes sandbox creativity, allowing you to design efficient layouts without strict objective pressure.
