About the Game


Build a factory on Mars that serves the most demanding customers in the universe: cats. Learning Factory is a relaxing automation and management game where you turn raw materials into goods, deliver them to stores, and design a transport network that gets every kind of cat to the products it wants.


As the new chief engineer of an abandoned factory, you have a research mission: discover what makes cats happy. Restore the factory, develop the goods your customers want, and send them home with full paws.


Automate the whole journey


Connect production lines with conveyor belts, move supplies underground, and extend your network with air transport. Research new possibilities and improve your layout as your factory grows.

Route the customers, too


Your cats travel through the factory alongside its goods. Guide customers to the right stores, keep shelves supplied, and expand production to meet their growing demands. Produce and sell the goods they want, then use your progress to make the factory more efficient.


Build toward a bigger future for felinekind: rebuild the ancient Monument and establish Catopia.


Put your data to work


Experiment with real machine-learning models that analyze store sales data. Explore the in-game wiki and handpicked educational videos to learn more about the ideas behind your factory and its customers.

Grow at your own pace


There are no enemies to fight. In this fail-safe environment, you can keep trying, stay curious, and refine your production chains. Explore procedural worlds and discover new ways to make cats happy as you work toward Catopia.
