Factory Default: Build, Trade, Repeat

Welcome to Factory Default: Build, Trade, Repeat!

Factory Default is a management simulation game where you build a worldwide industrial conglomerate. You control the entire production chain: from mining raw ore and farming crops to refining complex materials and manufacturing high-tech goods.

Mine Lapis Lazuli in Afghanistan, refine it in the Congo Basin Union, manufacture semiconductors in Taiwan, and sell them in the United States. Manage workforce demands, navigate local markets, and balance your company's reputation against your profit margins.

Gameplay Style

If you enjoy the production-chain complexity of games like Anno 1800, Satisfactory, or Dyson Sphere Program, but dislike the tedium of placing individual conveyor belts or housing demands: Factory Default is for you.

Inspired by Cities Skylines, Farming Simulator, and idle tycoon games, you can play at your own pace. Speed run to make billions quickly, or methodically build the perfect, sustainable global supply chain.

Key Features

• The Ultima Mundi Project: Act as the sole supplier for a massive mid-to-end game objective where you help build a new continent and megastructures from scratch.
• Global Diplomacy & Voting: Use a messenger-app interface to negotiate with 105 world government representatives. Bribe, bargain, and use your political influence to pass global resolutions in the General Assembly.
• Supplier Contracts: Lock in your profit margins by negotiating permanent supplier contracts to bypass volatile local market markups.
