What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We need your support to improve the quality of this game. We want to involve the Steam community, because feedback is a valuable resource. We are passionate game developers. Help us make the game great!”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Two years or less. We need more time to develop all planned gameplay features and add more content.”

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

“The full version will allow you to physically leave your spaceship, explore abandoned outposts, visit NPCs on their space stations, fight aliens or space pirates using handheld weapons. It will also have more complex endings, customizable ship modules including ship editor, different scenarios, fully developed RPG mechanics & story, and achievements.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current version offers basic gameplay, it is fully playable build, the game content is very limited though. We will keep adding new features on a regular basis. For more information about the game and a detailed list of features, you can check the game "About This" section.”

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

“After the Early Access, the price will increase gradually based on the amount of content and features. Purchasing the Early Access version is a great way to support us and get the game for a lower price.”

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

“We will add features requested by the community. Also, we will balance ingame modules, items etc. according to your feedback. We want to make this game fun to play and enjoyable for you.”

About This Game



The Factory Must Survive, formerly the Strive for Infinity project started in early 2018, is an ambitious strategy set in a dystopian future during the galactic war of attrition waged between the Rogue Megacorporations and the Empire spanning thousands of worlds.

Play as the first artificial general intelligence, the Machine, the ultimate invention of mankind. Establish an autonomous factory of the rising Megacorporation. Command the resources of an entire star cluster through automation on an unprecedented scale. Supply the galactic warfront with heaps of military hardware and resources or ship medical supplies offworld to reduce war tensions. Outproduce the Empire to turn the tide in a war of attrition. Will the ends justify the means? Do you dare to start producing weapons of mass destruction?

Key features planned for the Early Access:
  • Conveyor-less factory desing for optimization reasons to aim for an unprecedented scale
  • Simulation of a single solar system having multiple playable voxel planets
  • Procedural generation of planetary surfaces, space encounters and solar systems
  • Factory building on a multi-planetary scale including combat units production
  • Resource management, interplanetary supply lines, space battles, space stations
  • Optional storyline revealed during the game with a single ending
  • Cooperative multiplayer and player hosted dedicated servers!
  • Space exploration, automation, megastructures and more!
