Community Challenge: Tiny Factory!

Hello fellow factory-optimizers.

Today, we bring you a challenge. Are you robot enough to accept it?

A little birdie told me you build BIG and MASSIVE maybe even HUGE factories. Terraforming the environment to your needs & only caring about the optimal way to generate an astonishing amount of output. Well... Here's an idea...

What if... You tried to make it as TINY as possible? It's something we've always wondered. Can you make a small - but effective factory?

^ Example of how small we want it to feel

Here's the rules:

  • Create the smallest factory you can that automatically builds & sells robots.
  • Maximum number of each type of machine/building cannot exceed 8. (excluding storage, belts & loaders. But you can have MORE than 8 buildings. Just not more than 8 of ANY SPECIFIC building)
  • Be creative! Build anywhere you want on the map!
  • You're allowed to play in any gamemode, however make sure to be resourceful about materials.
  • No more than 1 ship per resource going to or coming from the space station.
  • Ships that transfer from an outpost to station to base are NOT allowed. (ie: all resources MUST be belted in)
    [
  • } NO MODS
  • Factory must be built on the
  • latest* version of FOUNDRY.
  • Screenshots of the factory is required, videos are even better. Post on this steam thread OR in the discord on the appropriate channel.
  • Share your save files so everyone can validate it's working.


Now, there will be a prize, however, we're not revealing that yet. Don't expect anything too big. In the end, it's all just for fun anyway.

Are you up to the challenge?
