6 itemsAbout the Game
Outer Factory is a peaceful and minimalist factory simulation where you build your own industrial empire. As a technical manager, construct highly automated factories across asteroids and planets. Decide how to organize your production and when it’s time to expand.
Build Automated Factories
Establish operations on nearby asteroids and construct your first machines to automate mining, processing, and production step by step.
Place storage units, expand your production with constructors, and connect your machines into efficient production lines. Optimize your factory all the way to fully automated deliveries.
Build at Your Own Pace
There are no enemies, no combat, and no time pressure. Focus entirely on building your factory, unlocking new technologies, and designing production systems that perfectly match your playstyle.
Perfect Your Production Flow
Build an intelligent logistics network using magnetic pipes and connect your machines into fully automated production lines. Resources always flow in one direction—from the output of one machine directly into the input of the next.
The intelligent logistics system automatically routes materials and only transports resources that can actually be processed by downstream machines. Fine-tune your material flow with filters and maintain complete control over even the most complex factories.
Expand Beyond Planetary Boundaries
As your industrial empire grows, so do the demands on your production. Explore new asteroids and planets, secure additional resource deposits, and build an interplanetary production network.
Create flight routes between your outposts and let cargo ships handle resource transportation automatically.
From your very first piece of ore to a vast interplanetary production network, every decision is yours.
