Factory Town – Useful Tips & Tricks

General Stuff

• When viewing a recipe in the build menu, hover the cursor over the icon for the item to be built to get a short description (though these are not always useful). Hover over the icon on the right side to see additional information, such as sell price and ingredients.

• Plan on making roads that are at least 2 lanes wide and consider giving buildings extra space between the door and the road. Carts cannot pass through each other and will sit at the front (or side) of a building, potentially blocking traffic and causing a mess.

• Read through the tips that pop up at launch. That’s where you can find directions on moving units around, setting your Hotbar keys, etc.

• Upgrading your base unlocks recipes, increases the number of inventory slots, and increases the capacity of each inventory slot. (Example: At a level 5 base, you have 5 rows of 4 slots, each of which can hold 600 units.)

• Type “m” to get the move tool. You can use this to pick up a worker and place it wherever you wish. This is especially useful for moving carts across your map, clearing traffic jams, or getting a worker unstuck between another worker and its only path out of a dead end.

Forestry and Farm Buildings

• You can choose which items your farm harvests. If you want to produce only one type of item, ensure it is the only “recipe” checked. Also, de-select the “Auto-manage” box. This is useful early in the game when you may wish to output a single type of item onto a chute.

• Although the game allows you to plant trees (once you build the box for them) in the area covered by a farm, you will not be able to harvest them. This includes fruit trees, which must be harvested by a “forester” building.

• A forestry building requires red coins to harvest regular trees, but not fruit trees.

• Water and fertilizer only affect the re-growth of crops on farms, not the harvest rate. You can increase the harvest rate by adding workers to your farm. (Click the building, then use the “+” button).

• You can place farms close together and overlap their areas.

Pastures

• Although you can produce fertilizer using its own recipe at a pasture, don’t bother. It is a by-product of most other options, and you will have plenty.

• Even if the fertilizer storage is full at a pasture, other items do not stop production. For example, the recipe for wool produces fertilizer as well. You will still generate wool even if you’re not using your fertilizer quickly enough.
