Alchemy Factory

Alchemy Factory grows from a modest shop into a business built around automated lines for alchemical goods. Planning and building those systems are central to the experience, and the Steam PC version lets you play solo or in co-op. At Kinguin, the price is ≈ $14.54; weigh it against your appetite for factory design and the option to build a workshop with friends. You can also factor in the next announced Steam sale window when planning a purchase, though that does not promise a discount on this game. Steam's current price is $17.99, while ≈ $14.54 at Kinguin is lower by ≈ $3.45.

If you're playing it for the factory aspect, it's really good. My only disappointment is that as someone who really loves the wonder of alchemy, there's not a lot of stuff to make you feel at home with the building in this game. It's almost purely focused on the factory part and not much on the aesthetic of your typical alchemist house. Lacks decoration, paint, nice emissions on the potions you're selling. Instead they're sold in these leather sacks instead of glass vials. I get the idea that they wanted you to be more of a peasant which they did a good job of, but personally I would have my purple robes and glass vials over leather ball sacks and lackluster potions. It certainly is an alchemy "factory" game though, and it really does do a great job at that. It's early access and I'm not expecting them to change their art direction, but it would at least be a little nice if I had the option to put a door down and color my walls purple. Maybe some hanging lanterns or something. I love automation and played the hell out of Thaumcraft on MC, so if you're into that kind of thing then this is pretty nice. But again one of the luring factors in Thaumcraft was its amazing aesthetic, mixed well with the automation. It also had a smidge of exploration which I can see the potential here with this game considering you can leave the castle. I hope the devs read this, I see a lot of other reviewers saying much of the same thing so I figured I'd put my two cents in with hopes that this is read, and received well. I think I'll love this game and play it for easily a hundred hours more, just wish I could feel more at home while I spend such an absorbent amount of time here.Show moreShow less

It's really unfortunate because its so close to being an excellent game, then it throws it all away. It starts off as a really well thought out factory sim and shop keeper sim. Balancing the purchase and production of materials and goods with the profits they bring. But by mid/late game it turns into a slog where you can't seem to turn a profit until the cauldron takes over everything. Since for some reason, you can put in random garbage and get the material you want as output. Ruining the logic and flow of the game entirely. The processing structure is similar to games like Satisfactory and Factorio, which is a great start. But the games recipe list makes increasingly less sense, and feels artificially inflated to slow down progression. For example: Mushrooms: Produced as a byproduct of harvesting Rotten Logs. Expensive for the early game at 2 silver each, The log only gives 20% of its output as mushrooms. Meaning to scale production you have to spend massive amounts of money and space, and most of the output is byproduct. The game also never gives you a way to make this more efficiently, or with alternate methods (until cauldron) This happens more and more as you progress the game culminating at the cauldron. Completely breaking the progression of the game and making it so instead, you just combine some random non sensical garbage to get a thing. Example: Gloom Spores (the thing you turn mushrooms into) ingredients: Coke, Steel Gear, salt. Sulfur: Soap, Soap Powder, and Steel ingots. So if your looking to satisfy that that OCD and automate giant factories and max out profits... Don't. It only lasts half the game. Then you'll download someone's workshop build and realize there is no personalization left. There's just 1 good way, and the rest are unsustainable. TLDR: Turns from feeling like a well balanced Shop and Factory Sim into a gotcha with only 1 right answer.Show moreShow less

the urge to fit everything in a 5x4 block and optimize recusively-consumed coke powder output had me writing a python script to calculate the sum of a converging geometric series... 10/10 would recommend to all my AuDHD soulmatesShow moreShow less

Too tedious, not satisfying. I don’t think the game is bad overall, but the aspect that appealed to me the most — the factory — isn’t enjoyable enough. I still support the devs to continue developping and polishing the game, as I think the base is solid. Here is a quick summary : Good : - Shop management, similar to other shop simulator games - Progression system - Quests - The granularity of building (which also comes with drawbacks) - Some recipe ideas (like using fuel and plants to sustain production automatically) - The bridge bloc (loved it) Bad : - Building is very tedious : 1/ Placing blocs is slow and hotkeys (mostly juggling between placing/rotating, group delete and group copy) are not the most intuitive. This really weights down the gameplay when dismantling and rebuilding. 2/ Some blocs, like Conveyor lifters and Beams are really annoying to place. 3/ Problematic with scale. - There is too much manual inputs in the factory when I expected automation. The constant back and forth to refill raw materials or coins quickly becomes tiring. To be fair, real automation does exist, but it comes too late in the progression and is way too complex - Factories take a lot of space (relative to the size of a single bloc), which becomes even more problematic because building itself is tedious - Some recipes might require too many installations (for the sake of automation). While combination of multiple resources in each recipes is cool, they are overly complexe or require too much resources. - The music is bad. At least one track sounds AI-generated Misc : - Crouching keeps the character (camera) too high to be useful, and the reduced movement speed serves no real purpose - Running speed could be a bit faster - Didn't like being interrupted by the end of the day recap screen, but it isn't an issue eitherShow moreShow less

A very satisfying factory game with some of the automation you can design. I got VERY good at building incredibly complicated designs in a very compact space that looked stunning to watch flow. And the game itself has no hitches! Smooth as butter, zero drops in frames, I didn't encounter any glitches... genuinely well optimised - for me at least - in this moment. So why the negative review? UI is okay - house building definitely could be better! Look around your little village and it's stunning... and then buy a plot and watch as you destroy it and make it ugly... Like honestly, I don't want to buy space because it destroys the surroundings that I enjoy viewing! There needs to be more design elements so you can give back to what once-was. The main bad thing for me though - Why am I earning money? What is the point? There's absolutely no point. Beyond T2 / T3, you earn a lot of platinum quickly, but it turns out T4 costs multi-platinum per item. So I'm simply earning more to pay more to earn more to pay more to earn more to pay more to earn more to pay more to.... It's an utterly pointless cycle. It doesn't feel rewarding because there is literally no reward. And T4/T5 onwards is honestly just ridiculous!! Even some of T3 is ridiculous. It takes THOUSANDS of stone to make ONE T4 item. For literally no reason what so ever other than "difficulty". There is no difficulty in the game, it's just tedium after a point, unfortunately. The Alchemy, I think it's called, is the worst!!! An item that has a X% chance only of giving what you need is just meh! Now I have to calculate all of this nonsense output for no reason what so ever. I could just bin it, but... then I'm paying money knowing I'm binning... Oh I can't be bothered writing even now haha. I've just realised how little I care. I loved the game till T3, then I highly disliked it suddenly, sadly.Show moreShow less
