All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

Hello fellow factory-optimizers, once again.

First things first:


Right now there is a 25% discount on FOUNDRY! The perfect holiday gift for friends & loved ones who has still not been bitten by the factory optimization-bug. Grab it one before it's too late!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/983870/FOUNDRY/



Now to the real news. We're gathered here today to look at the Tiny Factory winners!

In the start we did not get many submissions. We were all very nervous. Me most than anyone. What if this was one big failure? What if I loose my job? What if mrmcd yells at me? What if they delete trains from the roadmap because of this?

Not long after that we got this meme posted.

Then they started flooding in. And let me tell you... They're all a real treat!

Inverted Cow's Underground Factory

Key attributes:

  • Underground factory
  • Pumps resources up & down
  • Pumps robots up to the surface


Watch on YouTube
We're very impressed with this factory. Not only was it one of few underground factories, but it also uses a system of belts which pump resources up & down. Assembling the robots on the up to the surface - it gives a very clutterd but compact feel.

Bob_says_hello's Oil Rig

Key attributes:

  • Compact
  • Oil rig-esque design
  • Ontop of a lake


The design of this certainly was cool! And putting the shipping pads on the top gives it such a clean & thoughtout look.

Raptibun's V2 Factory

  • Amazing atmosphere
  • Logic System
  • No item destruction
  • Green

Watch on YouTube
The overall winner! This AMAZING tiny factory has it all. An office, windows overlooking & decoring! We're super impressed with the themeing while keeping within the terms of the challenge!

Honorable Mentions

Jiandi's Triangle Factory


The triangle architecture gets me.

Raptibun's V1 Factory (Square)


Similar vibe as the V2, but more square. Not as interesting but deserving of a mention.

Bob_says_hello's Data Center Factory

Although not the official name, it gives me data center vibes. Very cool!


That's it folks!

The challenge winners will be added in a future update in the credits! Although it might not be glorious, it's about the journey and not the destination. Hope you enjoyed this challenge!
