Zavod io is a browser factory automation game about mining resources, building production lines and slowly turning an empty area into one huge working system.

How to play

You start with basic resource gathering, then move the boring work onto drills, belts and machines. Ore can be smelted into plates, parts go into assemblers, and every new production chain creates another problem somewhere else. Power also needs its own setup with boilers, turbines, solar panels and batteries. Zavod io gets much more interesting once the factory stops being a few random machines and starts feeding itself.

Later you can work with oil, pipes and chemical production, research new technologies in laboratories and build defenses around important parts of the factory. Vehicles and construction robots open up more options as the base grows. If you prefer a calmer factory puzzle, try Factory Idle; Exocraft io has a similar build-and-upgrade vibe, just in space.
