What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We've opted for Early Access for Zero Factory to engage with the community early in the development process. This allows us to gather valuable player feedback which is crucial for refining, balancing, and enhancing the gameplay experience. We strongly believe that collaborating with players will help us fulfill the complete vision of Zero Factory and create a game that we can be proud of and that the community will love to play.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We anticipate that Zero Factory will be in Early Access for approximately 12 to 18 months. This timeframe will allow us to incorporate community feedback, implement new features, and ensure that the game meets our quality standards for full release. However, our commitment is to the game's quality, and we're flexible to extend this period if needed to deliver the best experience possible.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The final version of Zero Factory will offer a more polished experience, complete with additional content, features, and optimizations not present in the Early Access version. We plan to expand the game world, add more machines, artifacts, and bosses, and refine the survival mechanics based on player input. The full release will also aim for enhanced stability and performance, ensuring a seamless gaming experience. While the core gameplay will be established during Early Access, we're committed to evolving and enriching the game to its fullest potential.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current state of Zero Factory in Early Access is a fully playable version that includes the core gameplay mechanics, such as survival elements, basic crafting, and initial machine automation. Players can explore the world, gather resources, and begin building their industrial empire. However, it's important to note that as the game is still in development, players may encounter placeholder content, bugs, and incomplete features which we will address as we move towards the full release.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Yes, the price of Zero Factory is likely to increase after Early Access. We want to reward early supporters with a lower price point. As we add more content and features, and as the game moves closer to full release, the price will reflect the additional value and the completion of our vision for the game. We're committed to transparent communication about any price changes as development progresses.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We plan to actively involve the community in Zero Factory's development process through regular updates, open forums, and direct feedback channels. We'll encourage players to share their experiences, suggest improvements, and report issues. Community polls and discussions will also be integral in shaping the game's direction. Our goal is to foster a collaborative environment where players feel their input is heard and valued as we refine and expand the game together.”

🌍 Begin your journey in the Stone Age and carve a path through the ages, advancing technologically to build massive automated factories and take on the ultimate challenge of resource creation and management.

Character Customization 🔧

In Zero Factory, every stone, every blade of grass, and every drop of water can be key to your survival. Manage your thirst and hunger, cultivate land, raise livestock, and erect shelters to protect yourself from the elements. But survival doesn't end there. Your world is alive and reactive, filled with secrets and dangers, monsters drawn by mystical catalysts that promise rewards while posing deadly risks. Your ability to defend your domain and leverage these events can make the difference between prosperity and downfall.

Explore and Help the Villagers 🏚️

Your ultimate goal? To conquer three ancient artifacts, guarded by formidable bosses, holding the power to globally enhance your machines' performance. And when you're ready, face the final boss to uncover the fate of your world, and perhaps even the conclusion of your epic quest.

Master the Machine - The Age of Automated Industry

The beating heart of Zero Factory lies in its sophisticated and evolving machinery. As you progress, you'll unlock and master an array of complex machines that turn survival into a symphony of industrial efficiency.

Basic Machine Setup ⚙️

  • Smelters: In the beginning, there was fire. Smelters are your faithful companions, transforming raw ore into pure metal, laying the foundation of your technological ascent.

  • Alloy Smelters: Modern alchemy comes to life with these advanced forges, capable of combining metals to create strong and valuable alloys, crucial for constructing your most advanced structures.

  • Containers: With greatness comes the need for increased storage. Containers allow you to store large quantities of resources, ensuring that your factories never stop due to a lack of materials.

  • Assemblers: The pinnacle of automation. These ingenious machines are the key to unlocking true automation potential, taking over the repetitiveness of handcrafting and freeing you to design and optimize your industrial empire.

  • Sawmills: Wood is an essential resource, and automated sawmills convert it into useful components for all aspects of your settlement, from buildings to tools.

  • Mining Machines: Extract the earth's riches without lifting a finger. These powerful machines dig deep, tapping into ore veins to unearth hidden treasures beneath the surface, fueling your constant progression towards innovation and industrial dominance.

Every machine in Zero Factory is a step towards greatness. Your empire will expand not just across the land but through the ages, as you transform a wild and magical world into an automated industrial landscape, a testament to human ingenuity's power. The future of your world is in your hands – and at the forefront of your mechanical genius.

Key Features:

  • Survival and Evolution: Start with nothing and progress technologically towards an age of complex machinery and complete automation.

  • Magical and Corrupted World: Explore a world where magic infuses the land, corrupting and altering reality. Utilize it to your advantage or fight against its malign influences.

  • Detailed Management: Food, thirst, agriculture, construction... Every aspect of survival is represented and must be carefully managed.

  • Tower Defense: Protect your precious factories and lands against waves of monsters summoned by mystical catalysts.
