Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Although the game already has a complete framework and an established setting, my past experience has shown that players often come up with interesting ideas, including ones I would never have thought of myself. Since the game’s content is unlocked in stages, it is well suited to incorporating new ideas at different stages.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“ I expect Early Access to last approximately six months to a year.”

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

“The current version only includes content up to technology stage 5. For the full release, I plan to expand this to technology stage 10, with new minerals, recipes, enemies, and a variety of new machines.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Content up to technology stage 5 is currently available, and players can build trains to transport goods. Overall development is already roughly complete through technology stage 10, but the later stages have not yet been made available.”

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

“The price will gradually increase as new content or features are introduced.”

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

“I would like to interact with players primarily through the Steam Community. It offers a comprehensive set of features and makes it easy to keep discussions in one place.”

About This Game

Welcome to Frontier Factory

You are a volunteer explorer recruited by Frontier Space, traveling to a frontier planet in a small spacecraft in pursuit of a vast fortune. Build an industrial base on this unfamiliar world, starting with the very first resources you gather. This will be your planet. But... unknown dangers await.

Build automated factories, set up logistics, and defend your base to survive. Plan production lines and research technology to gradually expand your base, while preparing weapons and defenses for threats from the wilderness and the Blood Moon.

Build Your Automated Factory

Turn raw materials into the driving force behind your factory's continued growth. As production expands, leave the heavy lifting to machines and focus on planning your next steps.

- Mine resources and process materials to build complete production chains

- Connect different machines to gradually automate production

- Adjust equipment and resource supply to resolve production bottlenecks

Research Technology, Unlock More Possibilities

Use the Technology Center to drive progress, investing what you produce in new equipment and construction. Increasing output, researching technology, and reinforcing defenses all depend on how you allocate your resources.

- Upgrade technology to unlock new machines and defensive equipment

- Research additional technologies to unlock features that make life easier

Explore the Frontier, Face Powerful Creatures

Venture beyond your base in search of resources and room to expand. Zombies appear at night, and powerful creatures roam the surroundings. Be prepared before you head out.

- Explore your surroundings for useful resources

- Take up arms against a variety of enemies

- Some resources can only be obtained from powerful creatures

Build Your Defenses, Prepare for the Blood Moon

Every seven in-game days, the Blood Moon rises at night, bringing endless hordes of powerful zombies. Use the time between attacks to restock supplies and arrange your defenses, turning your factory's output into the strength you need to hold your base.

- Build gun turrets and walls to protect vital facilities

- Stock up on ammunition and reinforce your defenses against enemy attacks

- Balance factory expansion with base defense

- Put your knife and gun to use. When all else fails, you'll have to rely on yourself!
