Overview

Facteroids is a compelling factory-building game that thrusts players into the role of a deep-space mining magnate. Beginning with a spaceship landing on a desolate asteroid, the core gameplay revolves around deploying automated bots to establish and expand a vast mining operation. Players will venture across the solar system, prospecting both asteroids and planets to extract valuable resources. These raw materials are then channeled into intricate production lines, meticulously designed by the player to maximize efficiency and output.

The game distinguishes itself with a fully destructible 3D environment. Every celestial body is a tangible 3D object, introducing a unique layer of complexity to factory construction and resource management.

Players can manipulate the environment, removing or adding mass as needed, and depleted mines leave behind tangible holes, adding a visual representation of progress and resource depletion. Beyond the industrial aspects, Facteroids also incorporates colony management, requiring players to attend to the needs of their colonists.
