A curated list of factory building games - like factorio and satisfactory This list will probably be maintained until the genre is formally defined, on steam, or other gaming DB's

Want to find out how, FBG games help you level up as a programmer? You can read more at this article here, which inspired the creation of this list

Because the genre is not "strictly" defined and established, we would be using the following as our game definition.

In an FBG, players are typically expected to be ....

• Constructing and expanding a large base of multiple building blocks, which are ...
• Connected together to build products using an evergrowing continous supply of materials ...
• To continously feed a very intensive "resource sink" (the games goal) ...
• Which can run automatically without the player interaction for long periods of time

Note: That conveyor belts, by definition is not a requirement

All games in the list, follows the FBG formluar loop tightly.

These are typically very loosely inspired by real world factories. And tend to be

• More "puzzle" like in nature, as each factory tends to be limited in space.
• There is also reduced emphasis, on creating the factories that make building parts,
• With an increased emphasis on "money" and "economy" which all goods can be bought and sold for.

These tends to mix it up heavily with other game genre, but depends on how you play it, you can endup in hte same FPG game loop. Or you could skip it entirely.
