About FactorishJS
Your first task is simple: punch some iron ore out of the ground. From there, FactorishJS pulls you into a satisfying loop of laying conveyor belts, feeding smelters, and wiring up assemblers until raw resources flow into finished goods without you lifting a finger. It runs entirely in the browser, no install required, built on an open-source MIT-licensed codebase.
The appeal is the same one that made factory games a cult genre — that itch to close one inefficiency, then another, until your sprawling production floor finally hums. If you enjoy browser-based strategy and building games, this scratches a very specific corner of that space. Expect to spend real mental energy on throughput math and belt routing.
Controls are mouse-driven and approachable; the steeper learning curve is figuring out production ratios, not the interface. It plays best on a desktop or laptop where you have screen space to spread out a growing factory floor.
