Description
Staff note: This title will satisfy your cravings for a challenging strategy game! Build a farm and automate it–your space will be filled with endless conveyor belts in no time. 🏆 2023 Playdate Community Awards: Best Sim/Strategy Game Winner! Words from the developers - "Creating Factory Farming was both a journey of exploration to the limits of the Playdate's hardware capabilities and the challenge of presenting an understandable user interface on such a tiny screen with so few buttons. The limitations of the Playdate guided me to focus heavily on the core mechanics that make factory games so enjoyable: logistics-based puzzle-solving, where each solution unlocks another layer of complexity and challenge. I was thrilled when I first got my Playdate and could watch it simulate large factories in the palm of my hand, and I'm truly honoured to be awarded the best simulation/strategy game for 2023!" Cultivation meets Automation Factory Farming is an Automation & Logistics game themed around intensive agricultural practices! Build up an expansive industrial complex by growing, harvesting, refining and manufacturing a wide variety of highly-processed products, and sell it all for a massive profit! 15 different crops to cultivate, with differing soil & water needs. 6 growing biomes . Conveyor belt system to transport items and automate the complex. 6 crop harvesters and other resource extractors . 36 different factories in which to refine and manufacture a vast array of different end-products. 13 unlockable utilities . Storage chests, paths, placeable signs, and more. Long playtime . Expect to play for over 25 hours to unlock everything! In-game tutorial .
