Production Empire: Idle Tycoon

Build a factory that turns a profit — not just one that runs.

Every item you make carries its own cost. Every belt tile it crosses adds to that cost. One low-grade input drags a whole batch down. Most factory games count what you produce. This one counts what it cost you to produce it, and shows you the margin on every single item.

An idle factory simulator about turning raw ore into starships — and the numbers underneath.

💸 THE PART OTHER FACTORY GAMES LEAVE OUT
• Real unit costs. Cost flows down the chain: ore into ingots, ingots into gears, each step carrying the last.
• Distance is money. Every belt tile adds to an item's cost, so a sprawling layout quietly eats your margin.
• Deposits hold a spread of grades, and quality collapses to your worst input.
• Upkeep never stops. Every building and every belt bills you per second, running or idle.
• Stock that sits still costs money. Goods in a warehouse are capital tied up, billed by the second.
• A profit and loss account: revenue, what the goods cost to make, and what your idle machines cost you.
• So a factory can hum along beautifully and still lose money. Finding out why is the game.

🚚 BUY WHAT YOU CANNOT MINE
• A receiving dock buys any material in the catalogue, at the grade you ask for
• Three firms for everything — cheap and slow, or dear and quick. You find out who delivers by buying.
• Set a reorder point and it restocks itself, or run it lean and risk the line going dry
• Prices move. Buy a market when it is soft and sell into strength — holding costs you either way.

🔧 MACHINES WEAR OUT
• Condition falls as a machine runs, and output starts slipping a grade below what went in
• Some stop without warning. A spare on the shelf fits itself; without one, it waits for you.
• Fit sensors on the machines worth watching and be told before one goes
• Rework what a machine spoils instead of binning it: fewer units an hour, less waste

⚙️ A REAL PRODUCTION CHAIN
• 229 resources across 11 tiers, from Wood and Iron Ore to Dyson Sphere Components
• 168 recipes with genuine multi-input bills of materials
• 65 buildings, from sawmills and smelters to chemical plants and starship yards
• Nothing is a reskin. Every tier is built out of the tier below it.

🏭 BUILD AND AUTOMATE
• Tap one machine and then another; the belt routes itself, and previews before you pay
• Buffer with warehouses, cash out through markets
• Split a line by grade or by product with inspection gates and sorting stations
• Survey a deposit before you commit the belts, or mine it and find out
• Machines get faster at a job the longer they run it. Changing it costs you the ramp.
• When the factory stops, it tells you which building stopped it and why

💤 IDLE PROGRESS AND OFFLINE EARNINGS
• Your factory keeps producing while the app is closed
• What you earn while away follows what your factory was really earning
• Time away never costs you money — offline upkeep is capped at what you earned

📋 CONTRACTS, GOALS AND PROGRESSION
• Customers who want a grade by a date and pay over list for it
• 32 achievements, a 7-day login streak, and five quality grades that multiply your price

🚀 FROM SAWMILL TO STAR FORGE
Tier 0 is a wood harvester and an iron mine. Tier 10 is a Matrioshka Brain, a Star Forge, a Universal Constructor.

Getting started

• The Market is yours from the first minute. Belt your goods into it and it sells them for you.
• Goods sitting in a warehouse now say so — and show you how to turn them into money.
• Your first three surveys are free. Look at the ground before you commit the belts: a rich deposit and a poor one pay very differently.
• A Market you barely use now costs less to run — its upkeep follows how busy it is.
