What is a factory game?

A factory game centres on production lines: conveyor belts, machines and ratios to balance so resources flow without clogging. shapez and Dyson Sphere Program are factory games.

Factory is the visual side of automation: belts, machines and throughput. Combat games with a crafting bench stay out.
