About This Game

Build an Empire That Spans the Planet

In Factory Default, you control every step of a global industrial empire. Extract raw materials, refine them into advanced components, manufacture high-tech goods, and sell them across the world.

Your operations span continents. Your decisions move markets. Your reputation shapes the future of your company.

Build efficient production chains, secure supply contracts, manage workers, and expand your influence across the planet.

From remote mines to cutting-edge semiconductor plants, every piece of the global economy can become part of your industrial network.

A Living 3D Planet

Your operations span a fully explorable 3D globe inspired by real-world geography.

Build across regions modeled after real countries and economic unions, each offering different resources and strategic opportunities. Expand your industries where materials are abundant, develop production where infrastructure is strong, and connect continents through global trade.

Mine rare minerals in resource-rich regions, refine materials where it makes economic sense, and manufacture products close to the world’s largest markets. Every decision shapes how your industrial network grows across the planet.

Design Deep Global Supply Chains

Build and optimize complex production networks across hundreds of resources and manufactured goods.

Raw materials become refined components, which become advanced industrial products. Every link in the chain affects the efficiency and profitability of your empire.

Secure long-term supplier contracts, balance imports and exports, and react to fluctuating global markets.

A well-designed supply chain can make billions. A poorly designed one can collapse an empire.

Profit vs Reputation

Your company is judged by the world.

A dynamic Global Perception system evaluates your actions across financial strength, environmental impact, corporate responsibility, and industrial influence.

Will you invest in sustainable infrastructure and worker protections?
Or maximize profits through aggressive policies and questionable practices?

Every decision shapes how the world sees your company.

Shape the World Through Corporate Power

Spend influence to enact company-wide policies that dramatically affect your operations.

Support sustainability and worker rights for reputation and stability, or cut costs through aggressive industrial practices that boost profits at the expense of public opinion.

Balancing influence, profit, and reputation is the key to dominating global industry.

Build the Future

As your company grows, you will take part in ambitious global projects - including the Ultima Mundi Project, a massive undertaking to help construct an entirely new continent.

Only the world’s most powerful industrial empire can make it possible.
