How to play

Use the mouse to select and place components on the grid. Your primary goal is to move shapes from their source points to the central hub by building a network of conveyor systems. Pay close attention to the layout to ensure your paths do not overlap or cause bottlenecks. As your factory grows, you must manage your available space strategically to keep the production lines flowing efficiently.

Tips for beginners

  • Start with simple, direct paths to get a feel for the resource flow.
  • Regularly zoom out to assess your entire factory layout and identify areas for optimization.
  • Clear away outdated or inefficient structures to make room for more advanced production designs.
