6 itemsAbout the Game
The Last Factory is a sci-fi factory builder about keeping humanity's last operational facility alive on Veyra-9: a tidally locked industrial planet stripped bare by three centuries of automated mining. One side burns under a dying star. The other freezes in permanent night. In the narrow Termination Belt between them, Factory Unit 7 is still running.
That makes it valuable.
That makes it loud.
That makes it a target.
Build production chains from the ground up
Drag modules from the tray, place them on the grid, and route resources through extractors, conveyors, pipes, smelters, forges, fabricators, reactors, storage, and research systems. Direction matters. Power matters. One wrong-facing output can stall an entire line.
Keep the factory alive
A running factory wears itself down. Modules decay, power zones collapse, dust storms cut solar output, and shortages force bad tradeoffs. Build repair-kit supply lines, deploy Maintenance Bots, add buffer storage, and make the grid resilient before the next failure reaches your core production.
Defend the signal
The more you build, the louder your factory becomes. Rogue AUTON units detect output spikes and send waves toward your machinery. Build turrets, feed them ammo, place EMP emitters, and protect the weak points in your supply chain before the perimeter breaks.
Research what was lost
Signal Towers reveal new ground and generate Research Points for the Blueprint Tree. Unlock higher-tier modules, build coolant-backed reactors, compress resources into advanced components, and feed Sample Labs, Data Centres, and R&D Departments to discover permanent module variants.
Trace the dead factories
The story is told through intercepted transmissions, recovered logs, Syndicate messages, and ruins in the fog. Every expansion pushes Factory Unit 7 closer to the truth of what silenced the other factories, and to the Chrono Project: a desperate endgame megastructure built around one question.
We cannot fix this world. But can we go back?
