Whatever system you use, it better be easy to recall, because during the service phase you have to retrieve and deliver customers their orders before time runs out. Do you sort them by color, shapes, common themes, or something else entirely? During this delivery phase, you must sort and place those items around the warehouse.

At the start of each shift, a truck drops off a pile of goods, each one represented by a block with a colorful icon. If you thought managing an ever-growing network of conveyor belts was tough, just wait until you check out the monumental task of organizing Wilmot’s Warehouse. Platform(s): PC, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch.You’re graded at the end of each puzzle I wonder if you can pass the test? You start off with a single reactor, with later levels using multiple reactors linked together for greater complexity. Within that grid, you must design a workflow to manipulate each component to break down their chemical bonds, tear atoms apart, and then reassemble them for output to the correct quadrant. The premise is very simple – atoms and molecules are input on the left side of a reactor and then manipulated by you to create the correct output chemicals on the right side.Įach reactor is a 10×8 grid with four quadrants.

Don’t worry, though, these small scale production puzzles still require a big brain to solve. Instead, Space Chem takes your production line puzzles down to the atomic level. With Space Chem, developer Zachtronics doesn’t go with the large scale open world factories a couple of the better-known games on this use. You see, Factorio adds in a little survival into the mix by way of an indigenous species that isn’t too happy about your pollution-spewing factory infringing upon its space. Your factory may be confined to a single planet in Factorio, but there is a greater sense of urgency to your planning and build execution. It doesn’t take long to see that the factory building of Factorio is very similar to that of Dyson Sphere Program. FactorioĪfter spending four years in early access, Factorio was finally released in August of 2020. Each of these five logistics games will are great fun and will have you mumbling production ratios in your sleep. So when you are finally able to harness the energy of an entire sun in Dyson Sphere Program, we’ve already got your next challenge headed down the pipeline. Those products are then used to build more complex items, which are in turn used in the production of even more advanced technology, and so on.Īlthough the multi-planet playground of DSP is a new twist, factory building games have been going strong for years. You place factories, feed them materials, then collect the goods they produce. Unlike most base builders where players are tasked with handling every aspect of growing your civilization on a macro scale, Dyson Sphere Program narrows your focus down to just the logistical side of things. Since its early access release on Steam a few weeks ago, Dyson Sphere Program has been a huge hit with the base building and logistical puzzler crowds.
