The Factory Must Survive, formerly the Strive for Infinity project started in early 2018, is an ambitious strategy set in a dystopian future during the galactic war of attrition waged between the Rogue Megacorporations and the Empire spanning thousands of worlds.
Play as the first artificial general intelligence, the Machine, the ultimate invention of mankind. Establish an autonomous factory of the rising Megacorporation. Command the resources of an entire star cluster through automation on an unprecedented scale. Supply the galactic warfront with heaps of military hardware and resources or ship medical supplies offworld to reduce war tensions. Outproduce the Empire to turn the tide in a war of attrition. Will the ends justify the means? Do you dare to start producing weapons of mass destruction?
