Factory

2026-01-06T13:42:15Z

Liveside: Fixed typo in link

{{Building|Tier=10|ConversionRate=150|Image=Factory.png|Color=Red|ColorCode=red}}
[[File:Red resource.png|left]]
The '''Factory''' is a building where you make production modules. Production modules produce a specific amount of resources per second.

To craft production modules you need to either purchase your materials or refine and combine your own with machinery.

You need materials from the [[Mine]] in order to refine better materials.
[[File:Factory2.png|thumb|1. Crafting Grid 2. Inventory 3. Machines 4. Recipes 5. Production 6. Shop 7. Refining]]
[[File:Items.png|thumb|From left to right: Ingot, Plate, Circuit Plate, Screw/Bolt, Wire, Cable, Metal Bar/Rod, Circuit Wires, Pipe, Ring, Dust.]]

==Upgrades==
Upgrading the Factory does the following:

*Increases the Inventory size by 12 slots.
*Increases the crafting grid size.
*Unlocks new recipes. The recipes that are unlocked will use the newly unlocked crafting grid slots.

==Main Screen==

===Inventory===
Located on the bottom right. Things you buy and make can be placed here. You start with 24 slots at Factory T1.

Click and drag the items to move them around, and into the crafting grid.

Right click with an empty mouse picks up half of the selected item. Right click with a full mouse places down one of the held items, holding right click with a full mouse and dragging places one item on each tile you dragged the item on, assuming the tile was either empty or had the same item beforehand.

Clicking on the trash bin with an item on your cursor will delete that item. There's also a keybind (unset by default) that does the same thing.

===Crafting Grid===
Located on the left of the factory screen

You can display recipes here from the recipes list. Items needed are represented by transparent icons, you can fill them in by dragging the items in from your inventory. If you got the Auto-Fill skill, you can press the Auto-fill button to automatically place items of the selected recipe into the crafting grid, if you have them in your Inventory. If you don't, then the game will point out the missing parts.

==Machines==
Machines are used to process items into different items, which can find them in the recipe list.

When a machine is producing, right clicking the machine removes one of the items, and shift right clicking removes all items at once from the machine.

Speed is calculated by this formula:

<code>(Base x 2^(Machine_Tier-1))</code>

With <code>Base</code> being the processing speed of that specific item.

===Oven===
The oven is used to turn ore and dust into ingots.

Note: It is not advised to turn ore directly into ingots, and instead crush it first into dust as this doubles your ingot output per ore.

===Assembly===
The assembly is used to turn cables into circuit wires.

===Refiner===
The refiner is used to turn ingots into cables, cables into wires, and plates into circuit plates.

===Crusher===
The crusher is used to turn ingots and ore into dust.

===Cutter===
The cutter is used to turn metal rods into bolts.

===Presser===
The presser is used to turn rubber balls and ingots into plates, and stacked plates into dense plates.

===Mixer===
The mixer is used to turn ore lumps into dust.

This allows you to combine lower tier dusts into a higher tier at a 1:8 ratio, or at a 1:4 ratio if the player has the Chemical Lumps [[Exotic Skills|Exotic Skill]].

===Belt===
Belts do not make any items, instead they double your shard refining speed.

===Shaper===
The shaper turns ingots into metal rods, metal rods into nuts, and plates into pipes.

===Boiler===
The boiler turns blocks into dense blocks, and can also revert dust into a previous tier at a 1:4 ratio.

==Recipes==
The recipe tab is where you find all the machines, producers, and items you can't make with machines.

Clicking the cross-hair icon of a recipe adds transparent items onto the crafting grid as a guide for you to fill out, or press the auto-fill button to have it put the materials in for you.

==Producers==
The producer tab is where you install your producers.

Producers make various resources at a specific rate, and will keep producing even while offline. Producer income is multiplied by both with [[Trading Post]] bonus "Production Bonus Resources" and by the [[Power Plant]] Factory boost. The former will be factored in to the rate shown in the tab, but the latter will not, since it speeds up time itself.

Producers are a valuable source of resources throughout the game.

All of the following values are in resources/sec.

==Shop==
The shop is where you can buy materials and items with red cubes, without having to make them.

The items in the shop however have a stock limit, that replenishes over time when not capped. Shift clicking buys five at a time, and right clicking buys the entire stock at once.

==Refining==
[[File:Factory Refining Efficiency.png|thumb|Chart showing the gains in efficiency as you refine more shards, particularly at Tier breakpoints.]]

The refining tab is where you refine shards dug up from [[Mine|the mine]] into ores. To refine, you must select which shards will participate (generally, you want all of them) and their proportion (equal splits equally, while relative splits according to how many shards you have).

This allows you to get higher tier items than can be found in the shop. In order to refine a particular tier of ore, you must refine with at least that many different shard types, and the total size of the refine must exceed a certain "breakpoint" threshold. It is generally suggested to not refine larger than the threshold for a given tier, because it just wastes time and shards (see chart). The breakpoints are as follows (round up to the nearest integer, the fractions are for data completeness):
{| class="wikitable"
!Tier!!Size
|-
|T1||12.5
|-
|T2||164.157987753
|-
|T3||981.805656071
|-
|T4||5223.76200109
|-
|T5||26919.6914918
|-
|T6||137812.5
|-
|T7||707792.640311
|-
|T8||3662530.24793
|-
|T9||19131554.9974
|-
|T10||100964071.569
|}

The belt is very important in reducing the time it takes to refine material. It is much faster to refine only what is needed to build the next level belt, start a new refine for one tier higher, and repeat, than it is to go straight for T10 ore with a low-level belt.

It takes 5 seconds to refine 1 shard without any belt, skills, or other effects (reduced to 2 seconds if you have the relevant skill). To calculate the total time to refine including all those effects, see https://www.desmos.com/calculator/oaqwluawpe.

==Second Floor==
{{Spoiler hatnote}}

===Oven===
The oven is used to turn ore and dust into ingots.

Note: It is not advised to turn ore directly into ingots, and instead crush it first into dust as this doubles your ingot output per ore.

===Assembly===
The assembly is used to turn cables into circuit wires.

===Refiner===
The refiner is used to turn ingots into cables, cables into wires, and plates into circuit plates.

===Crusher===
The crusher is used to turn ingots and ore into dust.

===Cutter===
The cutter is used to turn metal rods into bolts.

===Presser===
The presser is used to turn rubber balls and ingots into plates, and stacked plates into dense plates.

===Mixer===
The mixer is used to turn ore lumps into dust.

This allows you to combine lower tier dusts into a higher tier at a 1:8 ratio, or at a 1:4 ratio if the player has the Chemical Lumps [[Exotic Skills|Exotic Skill]].

===Belt===
Belts do not make any items, instead they double your shard refining speed.

===Shaper===
The shaper turns ingots into metal rods, metal rods into nuts, and plates into pipes.

===Boiler===
The boiler turns blocks into dense blocks, and can also revert dust into a previous tier at a 1:4 ratio.

==Recipes==
The recipe tab is where you find all the machines, producers, and items you can't make with machines.

Clicking the cross-hair icon of a recipe adds transparent items onto the crafting grid as a guide for you to fill out, or press the auto-fill button to have it put the materials in for you.

==Producers==
The producer tab is where you install your producers.

Producers make various resources at a specific rate, and will keep producing even while offline. Producer income is multiplied by both with [[Trading Post]] bonus "Production Bonus Resources" and by the [[Power Plant]] Factory boost. The former will be factored in to the rate shown in the tab, but the latter will not, since it speeds up time itself.

Producers are a valuable source of resources throughout the game.

All of the following values are in resources/sec.

==Shop==
The shop is where you can buy materials and items with red cubes, without having to make them.

The items in the shop however have a stock limit, that replenishes over time when not capped. Shift clicking buys five at a time, and right clicking buys the entire stock at once.

==Refining==
[[File:Factory Refining Efficiency.png|thumb|Chart showing the gains in efficiency as you refine more shards, particularly at Tier breakpoints.]]

The refining tab is where you refine shards dug up from [[Mine|the mine]] into ores. To refine, you must select which shards will participate (generally, you want all of them) and their proportion (equal splits equally, while relative splits according to how many shards you have).

This allows you to get higher tier items than can be found in the shop. In order to refine a particular tier of ore, you must refine with at least that many different shard types, and the total size of the refine must exceed a certain "breakpoint" threshold. It is generally suggested to not refine larger than the threshold for a given tier, because it just wastes time and shards (see chart). The breakpoints are as follows (round up to the nearest integer, the fractions are for data completeness):
{| class="wikitable"
!Tier!!Size
|-
|T1||12.5
|-
|T2||164.157987753
|-
|T3||981.805656071
|-
|T4||5223.76200109
|-
|T5||26919.6914918
|-

|-
|T9||19131554.9974
|-
|T10||100964071.569
|}

The belt is very important in reducing the time it takes to refine material. It is much faster to refine only what is needed to build the next level belt, start a new refine for one tier higher, and repeat, than it is to go straight for T10 ore with a low-level belt.

It takes 5 seconds to refine 1 shard without any belt, skills, or other effects (reduced to 2 seconds if you have the relevant skill). To calculate the total time to refine including all those effects, see https://www.desmos.com/calculator/oaqwluawpe.

==Second Floor==
{{Spoiler hatnote}}
For more information on the second floor head to [[Specializations#Factory_Crafter_and_Fabricator|Factory Floor 2]]

==Skills==
{{See also|Skills (Upgrade)}}

*'''Faster Machines''' - Increases the production speed of all machines by 50%.
*'''Full Capacity''' - Increases the resource production by 2% for each unique item type inside the production grid.
*'''Infinite Rubber''' - Doubles the stock limit of all shop items and halves the refill time. Also the refill time of rubber changes to 0.1 sec. per item.
*'''Auto-Fill''' - Allows you to automatically fill the contents of the crafting grid with the requirements of the selected recipe.
*'''More Ores''' - Doubles ore output from shard refining.
*'''Advanced Refining''' - Reduces the basic refining time per shard from 5 seconds to 2 seconds.

==Exotic Skills==
{{See also|Exotic Skills}}

*'''Machine Handling''' ({{Number|5|icon=[[File:Exotic gem.png|20px]]}}) - Allows you to pick up machines from their machine slot via right click and place them back via left click.
*'''Chemical Lumps''' ({{Number|60|icon=[[File:Exotic gem.png|20px]]}}) - Changes the recipe for ore lumps to only use 4 dust of the previous tier.
*'''Battle Producers''' ({{Number|25|icon=[[File:Exotic gem.png|20px]]}}) - Increases the production of all producers by 1% for each second that passes during an active tower run. Resets upon quitting or restarting. Does not affect exotic producers.

Specializations

2026-01-06T13:40:32Z

Liveside: Added formula for boosters from Factory to this page. Part of unifying the information

Upon reaching MT4, you get the chance to choose the first of three specializations from the [[Military Perks|military perks]]. Each specialization has its own perks, and you eventually get to unlock all three of them.

You get the opportunity to choose a second and third specialization at MT8 and MT12 respectively.

{{Spoiler hatnote|military perk specialization information and functions}}

=Factory: Crafter and Fabricator=

"Tired of crafting by hand? Then choose the factory path to unlock the crafter, fabricator, and tree farm to simplify crafting higher tier items as well as supplying you with an alternative to produce parts. Be prepared to spend a substantial amount of time in your factory."

===Mass===
The basic value of an item or an item's worth.

You can get mass by dissolving an item using the Fabricator, or by passively getting mass with the Mass Production Upgrade of the Fabricator.

===The Crafter===
Automates the ability to craft scanned items with a click by using the machines and crafting grid. It also has the scanner which is used to scan items.

To '''scan''' an item, you need to have a certain quantity of it (the items are consumed in the scanning process), and to have all ingredients needed to craft the item already scanned (Ores and rubber are the first items you can scan). Scanning an item will also cost Factory Resources, which varies depending on the tier of the item. The resource cost for each tier is as follows:
{| class="wikitable"
!Tier!!Resource Cost!!Quantity
|-
|T1||100B||100
|-
|T2||100T||25
|-
|T3||100Qa||20
|-
|T4||100Qi||15
|-
|T5||100Sx||12
|-
|T6||100Sp||10
|-
|T7||100Oc||8
|-
|T8||100No||6
|-
|T9||100De||5
|-
|T10||100UDe||3
|}

By default, the crafter will automatically craft all items required to make the requested items, recursively. You can also toggle the crafter to use any relevant items already in your inventory.

===The Fabricator===
Dissolves scanned items for mass, and Fabricates scanned items from mass.

'''Dissolving''', it is the process of turning scanned items to mass, the amount of mass you can get from dissolving an item is based on 50% of its mass.

'''Fabricating''', it is the process of turning mass to scanned items, the cost of fabricating an item is based on x4 of its mass.

====Fabricator Upgrades====

*Fabricating Speed - Increases the amount of mass that can be used for fabricating per second.

*Dissolving Speed - Increases the amount of mass that can be gain from dissolving per second.

*Mass Production - Increases the amount of mass you gain passively per second.

*Mass Capacity - Increases the maximum amount of mass you can contain.

===The Tree Farm===
Unlocks the ability to passively produce certain items from trees. (Unlocks at MT6)

You can get trees by planting '''saplings''' in the selected patch, and you can get saplings by crafting them. After planting saplings, you need to wait a certain amount of time for them to grow. Trees can produce items based on what tree they are, and the gain/s is based on total time they grow. This caps at 1 week or 168 hours where they reach the max gain/s.

===Manufacture===
The manufacture tab is used for boosters. Boosters increase certain aspects of the game, similar to the [[Power Plant]]. These are the available boosters:
{| class="wikitable"
! Name !! Effect
|-
| Production Booster || Multiplies the production of resource producers
|-
| Machine Speed Booster || Multiplies the production of machines
|-
| Tree Production Booster || Multiplies the production of trees
|-
| Acceleration Booster || Increases the Wave acceleration factor
|-
| Resource Drops Booster || Increases the resources dropped by enemies
|}

These recipes are unlocked with buying the different tiers on the left side of the grid. Once unlocked they can be found in the recipes tab. Once they are placed in the grid, the equivalent effect is activated. To achieve maximal efficiency, try to spread the boosters equally to each unlocked slot. This is because the effect of a booster is additive in one slot, but each slot is multiplicative with each other. These are the available upgrades to buy:

1. Unlock tier 1 boosters and 4 grid slots

2. Unlock the distribute button found below the grid and also unlock 4 more grid slots

3. Unlock tier 2 boosters, rainbow dust, and 4 further grid slots

4. Unlock tier 3 boosters, void rock saplings, and 4 final grid slots.

The formula for how much each booster stack boosts go as follows: <code>1+ Base + Mult*((stack size-1)/1018)Exponent</code>. The max boosts for individual stacks are:

=Power Plant: Dyson Sphere=

"Choosing this path will provide you the tools to construct the most powerful energy producing device in the universe as well as the Dyson boosting system which will amplify various aspects of either the tower or the speed at which you progress through the tower testing game. Choose this path if you want to primarily focus on tower testing!"
===Dyson Sphere Information===

;Power Output
:*Amount of Dyson energy gained from Dyson per second.
:*Equals to drones/500, or each drone on space provides a 0.002/s Power Output.

;Rings
:*Amount of rings formed around Dyson.
:*Used to stabilize a boost in Manipulations Tab.

;Used Rings
:*Amount of rings used for the Manipulation Tab.

;Drones
:*Amount of drones currently on space.
:*Collects Dyson energy from the Dyson Sphere.
:*Used for forming a ring.

;Drones (on ground)
:*Amount of drones currently ready to be launched on space.

;Dyson Energy
:*The energy harvested from the Dyson sphere.
:*Can be collected through Drones.

===Construction Tab===
Used to create drones, to launch them to space, and to form a ring.

*Construction: Use some resource and spend some time to construct '''(x)''' drones(up to 1e15 total).

Base construction time is 10 minutes, amount is 1 drone, and base cost is 1e11 powerplant resource.

*Launch: Launch up to '''(x)''' drones to space for them to produce Dyson Power.

Base launch time is 15 minutes no matter the amount. (You can't launch if a dyson ring is being formed.)

Note that this bar work differently, drones are launched as soon as you click the launch button, and then it comes a cooldown time, during which you can't click the launch button again.

*Form Ring: Form a Dyson Ring with the help of launched drones. (more drones = less time)

The base time to form the first Dyson Ring is 100 hours, which gets reduced based your launched drone amount. Exact formula is <code>max(1, (360000*(100^DysonRings))^(1-Drones/(10000000*10^DysonRings)))</code> seconds.

Once dyson rings are formed, you can see a visual appearance of them in the overview, and you can use them in the Manipulations tab.

=====Construction Upgrades=====

*Nanities Upgrade: increases the amount of drones that can be constructed by x2, but increases the price of constructing it by x3.

Can be bought 40 times, with the first level cost 1e12, and each next level cost 3.5x more.

*Rocket Cargo Upgrade: increases the amount of drones that can be launched by x5.

Can be bought 20 times, with the first level cost 1e12, and each next level cost 9x more.

*Space Elevator Upgrade (available at mt6): decreases the cooldown of launching drones by x0.9, and forming a Dyson ring by x0.8 .

Can be bought 40 times, with the first level cost 1e18, and each next level cost 4x more.

===Manipulations Tab===
Used to manipulate Dyson energy and turn them into useful boosts.

To get said boosts, click the black button with next to the bar, the bar will fill up based on your Dyson energy. After filling it up with enough Dyson energy, you will reach a milestone.

Each bar has '''milestones''', each milestone gives a buff and each consecutive milestone gives more.

Each bar is also '''unstable''', meaning not powering it will slowly reduce the amount of Dyson energy it has.

A ring has the power to stabilize a bar, making it not lose energy even if you're not powering it. To use a ring, simply click the black circle showing traces of the Dyson ring next to the boost you want to use the ring at.

=====Dyson Boosts=====

*Town Resource Drops: x2 > x5 > x20 > x160 > x5000

*Module Drop Rate: x1.1 > x1.25 > x1.5 > x2 > x3

*Total Tower Damage: x5 > x17.5 > x75 > x500 > x10000

*Incoming Damage: /2 > /5 > /20 > /400 > /25000

*XP Drop Rate: x1.5 > x2.75 > x5 > x10 > x20

*Wave Acceleration: x1.1 > x1.3 > x1.5

*Power Plant Boost Factor: x1.1 > x1.2 > x1.3 > x1.5

*Tower Attack Range: x1.02 > x1.05 > x1.1

*Ingame time speedup: Speed x2 --> Speed x3

===Changes to Power Plant Floor 1===
Once you have unlocked dyson sphere, you would unlock a new structure, the '''dyson node''', in powerplant floor 1.

Dyson nodes could provide a power gain itself without a need of other input, similar to Solar Panel and Wind Turbine. However, there is a special restriction that Dyson nodes can't be placed near each other(they can't share a common edge or corner).

The power income per Dyson node is '''x''''''0.25''', where '''x''' is your Dyson Power output in floor 2.

=Mine: Asteroid Mining=

"The earth is not enough so we are going to head for the stars. Asteroids can harbor precious artifacts, modules, and other treasures which are beneficial on your journey. Choose this path if you feel lucky."

===Cluster Tab===
Shows information about the clusters you have scanned.

'''Cluster''', it is a group of asteroids.

'''Asteroids''', these are big chunks of drillable rocks, contains a variety of items and boosts.

'''Scanning''', it is the process of looking for clusters. The cost varies on what Military Tier you are currently on. Higher military tier also means you can find further clusters, which give more rewards, but also taking longer to drill.

At MT6, you unlock '''Fast Scan''', it decreases the amount of time it takes to scan by 90%, but it doesn't show what possible rewards the cluster might have.

'''Switching''', it is the process of switching what cluster you are currently observing in the asteroids tab.

'''Delete''' (right click), it is the process of deleting the selected cluster.

On the top of the cluster tab shows where the ''name'', ''distance'', and ''rewards'' the cluster has is shown, next to the clusters are the corresponding information.

===Asteroids Tab===
Shows the asteroids of the selected cluster.

Each asteroids have tiles which you can '''drill''' automatically by simply clicking a tile and pay some mine resource.

You can drill multiple tiles at once, but each extra tile you drill at once increases the time to drill all tiles by x1.5 multiplicative.

After the drilling is finished, a reward will show on the tile you drilled, clicking it will collect it. There is also an option on the top right to claim all of the current rewards shown.

====Asteroid Mining Formula====
The Formula for Asteroid Mining is: '''Time''' = 2 * '''Distance''' / '''DrillPower''' * 1.5'''TileMining'''-1.

Where, '''Time''' is the amount of time it takes to mine the selected tiles in minutes.

'''Distance''' is the distance of the cluster in AU.

'''DrillPower''' is the after-percentage power value of the Asteroid Drill(e.g. if drill power is 1000%, use 10 in formula).

and '''TileMining''' is the amount of tiles being mined in current asteroid(including the tile you currently select).

===Upgrades===

*Scan Duration:

:Decreases the amount of time it takes to find a cluster.

*Asteroid Drill:

:Increases the efficiency of drilling, or decreases the amount of time it takes to mine a tile.

===Treasures Tab===
Shows the different rewards and boosts (except factory items) you have gotten from asteroids.

Farther distances yield much better rewards.

====Reward Types:====

*Modules

*Artifacts

*Boosts

Boosts increases your stats and comes in 3 different kinds:

:*Mine Rewards: Increases all your resource based mining rewards (town resources, mine shards, and gems).
:*Resource Drops: Increase all your resource drops from enemies during tower testing.
:*Damage Boost: Increases the total damage of the tower.

*Factory Items

Item reward tiers are now linked to your current military tier.

:*At MT4, you can get T4 Factory Items and Below
:*At MT5, you can get T5 Factory Items and Below

And so on, and so forth.

:*At MT11, you can get the Gem Producer and Below
:*At MT12, you can get the Exotic Producer and Below

=Trivia and Notes=
===The Dyson Sphere===
The Dyson sphere also has a nice boost to the power plant itself, making it useful beyond just tower testing. It is also one of the cheapest specializations to make early progress in, making it particularly well suited as a first choice.

===The Asteroid Mining===
The asteroid mines give useful boosts, good artifacts, and randomly drop factory items as well. If you've been ignoring your factory, it can give you a quick leg up, or you can luck into a high-tier producer. The mine is also a good early choice.

===The Crafter and Fabricator===
Despite the description, factory floor 2 does not actually simplify crafting much - you will still be either crafting everything by hand (and then crafting 1000x more, in order to "scan" them), or getting an AI package to do it for you. It is also extremely expensive to progress, making it almost useless until MT8. It is highly recommended that you wait and get this specialization last.

Factory

2026-01-06T13:29:17Z

Liveside: Updated the factory specialization to comply with the 1.0.10 version of the game

{{Building|Tier=10|ConversionRate=150|Image=Factory.png|Color=Red|ColorCode=red}}
[[File:Red resource.png|left]]
The '''Factory''' is a building where you make production modules. Production modules produce a specific amount of resources per second.

To craft production modules you need to either purchase your materials or refine and combine your own with machinery.

You need materials from the [[Mine]] in order to refine better materials.
[[File:Factory2.png|thumb|1. Crafting Grid 2. Inventory 3. Machines 4. Recipes 5. Production 6. Shop 7. Refining]]
[[File:Items.png|thumb|From left to right: Ingot, Plate, Circuit Plate, Screw/Bolt, Wire, Cable, Metal Bar/Rod, Circuit Wires, Pipe, Ring, Dust.]]

==Upgrades==
Upgrading the Factory does the following:

*Increases the Inventory size by 12 slots.
*Increases the crafting grid size.
*Unlocks new recipes. The recipes that are unlocked will use the newly unlocked crafting grid slots.

==Main Screen==

===Inventory===
Located on the bottom right. Things you buy and make can be placed here. You start with 24 slots at Factory T1.

Click and drag the items to move them around, and into the crafting grid.

Right click with an empty mouse picks up half of the selected item. Right click with a full mouse places down one of the held items, holding right click with a full mouse and dragging places one item on each tile you dragged the item on, assuming the tile was either empty or had the same item beforehand.

Clicking on the trash bin with an item on your cursor will delete that item. There's also a keybind (unset by default) that does the same thing.

===Crafting Grid===
Located on the left of the factory screen

You can display recipes here from the recipes list. Items needed are represented by transparent icons, you can fill them in by dragging the items in from your inventory. If you got the Auto-Fill skill, you can press the Auto-fill button to automatically place items of the selected recipe into the crafting grid, if you have them in your Inventory. If you don't, then the game will point out the missing parts.

==Machines==
Machines are used to process items into different items, which can find them in the recipe list.

When a machine is producing, right clicking the machine removes one of the items, and shift right clicking removes all items at once from the machine.

Speed is calculated by this formula:

<code>(Base x 2^(Machine_Tier-1))</code>

With <code>Base</code> being the processing speed of that specific item.

===Oven===
The oven is used to turn ore and dust into ingots.

Note: It is not advised to turn ore directly into ingots, and instead crush it first into dust as this doubles your ingot output per ore.

===Assembly===
The assembly is used to turn cables into circuit wires.

===Refiner===
The refiner is used to turn ingots into cables, cables into wires, and plates into circuit plates.

===Crusher===
The crusher is used to turn ingots and ore into dust.

===Cutter===
The cutter is used to turn metal rods into bolts.

===Presser===
The presser is used to turn rubber balls and ingots into plates, and stacked plates into dense plates.

===Mixer===
The mixer is used to turn ore lumps into dust.

This allows you to combine lower tier dusts into a higher tier at a 1:8 ratio, or at a 1:4 ratio if the player has the Chemical Lumps [[Exotic Skills|Exotic Skill]].

===Belt===
Belts do not make any items, instead they double your shard refining speed.

===Shaper===
The shaper turns ingots into metal rods, metal rods into nuts, and plates into pipes.

===Boiler===
The boiler turns blocks into dense blocks, and can also revert dust into a previous tier at a 1:4 ratio.

==Recipes==
The recipe tab is where you find all the machines, producers, and items you can't make with machines.

Clicking the cross-hair icon of a recipe adds transparent items onto the crafting grid as a guide for you to fill out, or press the auto-fill button to have it put the materials in for you.

==Producers==
The producer tab is where you install your producers.

Producers make various resources at a specific rate, and will keep producing even while offline. Producer income is multiplied by both with [[Trading Post]] bonus "Production Bonus Resources" and by the [[Power Plant]] Factory boost. The former will be factored in to the rate shown in the tab, but the latter will not, since it speeds up time itself.

Producers are a valuable source of resources throughout the game.

All of the following values are in resources/sec.

==Shop==
The shop is where you can buy materials and items with red cubes, without having to make them.

The items in the shop however have a stock limit, that replenishes over time when not capped. Shift clicking buys five at a time, and right clicking buys the entire stock at once.

==Refining==
[[File:Factory Refining Efficiency.png|thumb|Chart showing the gains in efficiency as you refine more shards, particularly at Tier breakpoints.]]

The refining tab is where you refine shards dug up from [[Mine|the mine]] into ores. To refine, you must select which shards will participate (generally, you want all of them) and their proportion (equal splits equally, while relative splits according to how many shards you have).

This allows you to get higher tier items than can be found in the shop. In order to refine a particular tier of ore, you must refine with at least that many different shard types, and the total size of the refine must exceed a certain "breakpoint" threshold. It is generally suggested to not refine larger than the threshold for a given tier, because it just wastes time and shards (see chart). The breakpoints are as follows (round up to the nearest integer, the fractions are for data completeness):
{| class="wikitable"
!Tier!!Size
|-
|T1||12.5
|-
|T2||164.157987753
|-
|T3||981.805656071
|-
|T4||5223.76200109
|-
|T5||26919.6914918
|-

|-
|T9||19131554.9974
|-
|T10||100964071.569
|}

The belt is very important in reducing the time it takes to refine material. It is much faster to refine only what is needed to build the next level belt, start a new refine for one tier higher, and repeat, than it is to go straight for T10 ore with a low-level belt.

It takes 5 seconds to refine 1 shard without any belt, skills, or other effects (reduced to 2 seconds if you have the relevant skill). To calculate the total time to refine including all those effects, see https://www.desmos.com/calculator/oaqwluawpe.

==Second Floor==
 Main Article: [[Specializations#Factory:_Crafter_and_Fabricator|Factory Floor 2]]

The Second Floor of the Factory involves mainly using mass to create items, automate crafting, and growing materials from trees.

===Crafter===
The Crafter is used to scan items and craft scanned items automatically, allowing you to easily craft them.

To '''scan''' an item, you need to have a certain quantity of it (the items are consumed in the scanning process), and to have all ingredients needed to craft the item already scanned (Ores and rubber are the first items you can scan). Scanning an item will also cost Factory Resources, which varies depending on the tier of the item. The resource cost for each tier is as follows:
{| class="wikitable"
!Tier!!Resource Cost!!Quantity
|-
|T1||100B||100
|-
|T2||100T||25
|-
|T3||100Qa||20
|-
|T4||100Qi||15
|-
|T5||100Sx||12
|-
|T6||100Sp||10
|-
|T7||100Oc||8
|-
|T8||100No||6
|-
|T9||100De||5
|-
|T10||100UDe||3
|}

By default, the crafter will automatically craft all items required to make the requested items, recursively. You can also toggle the crafter to use any relevant items already in your inventory.

===Fabricator===
The Fabricator is used to create items out of mass. After the second floor is unlocked, all factory items will display their mass. Their mass represents how much mass you gain from dissolving them. Their mass is also directly proportional to the resources used to make them. (With the exception of ore to ingot. Always turn your ores to dust first or don't directly turn ores to ingots, as they will lose 50% of their worth from doing so.)

After you have scanned a item in the crafter, you can dissolve that item for mass. The mass is stored and can be used to fabricate any scanned item. The fabricator also contains an auto-mass producer, which makes mass passively. However, it is slow for how expensive it is. The fabricator can be upgrade to increase dissolve speed, increase fabricating speed, increase maximum amount of mass, and increase auto-mass production.

===Tree Farm===
The Tree Farm is used to grow items. The player can plant saplings, which will grow into trees over time. The more time the tree grows, the faster it will produce. Currently, there are only two types of sapling, rubber and void-rock, which produce rubber and void essence respectively. You can also plant pumpkins, if you got them during Halloween.

===Manufacture===
The manufacture tab is used for boosters. Boosters increase certain aspects of the game, similar to the [[Power Plant]]. These are the available boosters:
{| class="wikitable"
! Name !! Effect
|-
| Production Booster || Multiplies the production of resource producers
|-
| Machine Speed Booster || Multiplies the production of machines
|-
| Tree Production Booster || Multiplies the production of trees
|-
| Acceleration Booster || Increases the Wave acceleration factor
|-
| Resource Drops Booster || Increases the resources dropped by enemies
|}

These recipes are unlocked with buying the different tiers on the left side of the grid. Once unlocked they can be found in the recipes tab. Once they are placed in the grid, the equivalent effect is activated. To achieve maximal efficiency, try to spread the boosters equally to each unlocked slot. This is because the effect of a booster is additive in one slot, but each slot is multiplicative with each other. These are the available upgrades to buy:

1. Unlock tier 1 boosters and 4 grid slots

2. Unlock the distribute button found below the grid and also unlock 4 more grid slots

3. Unlock tier 2 boosters, rainbow dust, void rock saplings, and 4 further grid slots

4. Unlock tier 3 boosters and 4 final grid slots.

The formula for how much each booster stack boosts go as follows: <code>1+ Base + Mult*((stack size-1)/1018)Exponent</code>. The max boosts for individual stacks are:

Specializations

2026-01-06T10:17:32Z

Liveside: Updated the factory specialization to comply with the 1.0.10 version of the game

Upon reaching MT4, you get the chance to choose the first of three specializations from the [[Military Perks|military perks]]. Each specialization has its own perks, and you eventually get to unlock all three of them.

You get the opportunity to choose a second and third specialization at MT8 and MT12 respectively.

{{Spoiler hatnote|military perk specialization information and functions}}

=Factory: Crafter and Fabricator=

"Tired of crafting by hand? Then choose the factory path to unlock the crafter, fabricator, and tree farm to simplify crafting higher tier items as well as supplying you with an alternative to produce parts. Be prepared to spend a substantial amount of time in your factory."

===Mass===
The basic value of an item or an item's worth.

You can get mass by dissolving an item using the Fabricator, or by passively getting mass with the Mass Production Upgrade of the Fabricator.

===The Crafter===
Automates the ability to craft scanned items with a click by using the machines and crafting grid. It also has the scanner which is used to scan items.

To '''scan''' an item, you need to have a certain quantity of it (the items are consumed in the scanning process), and to have all ingredients needed to craft the item already scanned (Ores and rubber are the first items you can scan). Scanning an item will also cost Factory Resources, which varies depending on the tier of the item. The resource cost for each tier is as follows:
{| class="wikitable"
!Tier!!Resource Cost!!Quantity
|-
|T1||100B||100
|-
|T2||100T||25
|-
|T3||100Qa||20
|-
|T4||100Qi||15
|-
|T5||100Sx||12
|-
|T6||100Sp||10
|-
|T7||100Oc||8
|-
|T8||100No||6
|-
|T9||100De||5
|-
|T10||100UDe||3
|}

By default, the crafter will automatically craft all items required to make the requested items, recursively. You can also toggle the crafter to use any relevant items already in your inventory.

===The Fabricator===
Dissolves scanned items for mass, and Fabricates scanned items from mass.

'''Dissolving''', it is the process of turning scanned items to mass, the amount of mass you can get from dissolving an item is based on 50% of its mass.

'''Fabricating''', it is the process of turning mass to scanned items, the cost of fabricating an item is based on x4 of its mass.

====Fabricator Upgrades====

*Fabricating Speed - Increases the amount of mass that can be used for fabricating per second.

*Dissolving Speed - Increases the amount of mass that can be gain from dissolving per second.

*Mass Production - Increases the amount of mass you gain passively per second.

*Mass Capacity - Increases the maximum amount of mass you can contain.

===The Tree Farm===
Unlocks the ability to passively produce certain items from trees. (Unlocks at MT6)

You can get trees by planting '''saplings''' in the selected patch, and you can get saplings by crafting them. After planting saplings, you need to wait a certain amount of time for them to grow. Trees can produce items based on what tree they are, and the gain/s is based on total time they grow. This caps at 1 week or 168 hours where they reach the max gain/s.

===Manufacture===
The manufacture tab is used for boosters. Boosters increase certain aspects of the game, similar to the [[Power Plant]]. These are the available boosters:
{| class="wikitable"
! Name !! Effect
|-
| Production Booster || Multiplies the production of resource producers
|-
| Machine Speed Booster || Multiplies the production of machines
|-
| Tree Production Booster || Multiplies the production of trees
|-
| Acceleration Booster || Increases the Wave acceleration factor
|-
| Resource Drops Booster || Increases the resources dropped by enemies
|}

These recipes are unlocked with buying the different tiers on the left side of the grid. Once unlocked they can be found in the recipes tab. Once they are placed in the grid, the equivalent effect is activated. To achieve maximal efficiency, try to spread the boosters equally to each unlocked slot. This is because the effect of a booster is additive in one slot, but each slot is multiplicative with each other. These are the available upgrades to buy:

1. Unlock tier 1 boosters and 4 grid slots

2. Unlock the distribute button found below the grid and also unlock 4 more grid slots

3. Unlock tier 2 boosters, rainbow dust, and 4 further grid slots

4. Unlock tier 3 boosters, void rock saplings, and 4 final grid slots.

The formula for how much each booster stack boosts go as follows: (stack size-1)/(1×1018-1).05, which is taken as a % to max boost for a stack. The max boosts for individual stacks are:
{| class="wikitable"

=Power Plant: Dyson Sphere=

"Choosing this path will provide you the tools to construct the most powerful energy producing device in the universe as well as the Dyson boosting system which will amplify various aspects of either the tower or the speed at which you progress through the tower testing game. Choose this path if you want to primarily focus on tower testing!"
===Dyson Sphere Information===

;Power Output
:*Amount of Dyson energy gained from Dyson per second.
:*Equals to drones/500, or each drone on space provides a 0.002/s Power Output.

;Rings
:*Amount of rings formed around Dyson.
:*Used to stabilize a boost in Manipulations Tab.

;Used Rings
:*Amount of rings used for the Manipulation Tab.

;Drones
:*Amount of drones currently on space.
:*Collects Dyson energy from the Dyson Sphere.
:*Used for forming a ring.

;Drones (on ground)
:*Amount of drones currently ready to be launched on space.

;Dyson Energy
:*The energy harvested from the Dyson sphere.
:*Can be collected through Drones.

===Construction Tab===
Used to create drones, to launch them to space, and to form a ring.

*Construction: Use some resource and spend some time to construct '''(x)''' drones(up to 1e15 total).

Base construction time is 10 minutes, amount is 1 drone, and base cost is 1e11 powerplant resource.

*Launch: Launch up to '''(x)''' drones to space for them to produce Dyson Power.

Base launch time is 15 minutes no matter the amount. (You can't launch if a dyson ring is being formed.)

Note that this bar work differently, drones are launched as soon as you click the launch button, and then it comes a cooldown time, during which you can't click the launch button again.

*Form Ring: Form a Dyson Ring with the help of launched drones. (more drones = less time)

The base time to form the first Dyson Ring is 100 hours, which gets reduced based your launched drone amount. Exact formula is <code>max(1, (360000*(100^DysonRings))^(1-Drones/(10000000*10^DysonRings)))</code> seconds.

Once dyson rings are formed, you can see a visual appearance of them in the overview, and you can use them in the Manipulations tab.

=====Construction Upgrades=====

*Nanities Upgrade: increases the amount of drones that can be constructed by x2, but increases the price of constructing it by x3.

Can be bought 40 times, with the first level cost 1e12, and each next level cost 3.5x more.

*Rocket Cargo Upgrade: increases the amount of drones that can be launched by x5.

Can be bought 20 times, with the first level cost 1e12, and each next level cost 9x more.

*Space Elevator Upgrade (available at mt6): decreases the cooldown of launching drones by x0.9, and forming a Dyson ring by x0.8 .

Can be bought 40 times, with the first level cost 1e18, and each next level cost 4x more.

===Manipulations Tab===
Used to manipulate Dyson energy and turn them into useful boosts.

To get said boosts, click the black button with next to the bar, the bar will fill up based on your Dyson energy. After filling it up with enough Dyson energy, you will reach a milestone.

Each bar has '''milestones''', each milestone gives a buff and each consecutive milestone gives more.

Each bar is also '''unstable''', meaning not powering it will slowly reduce the amount of Dyson energy it has.

A ring has the power to stabilize a bar, making it not lose energy even if you're not powering it. To use a ring, simply click the black circle showing traces of the Dyson ring next to the boost you want to use the ring at.

=====Dyson Boosts=====

*Town Resource Drops: x2 > x5 > x20 > x160 > x5000

*Module Drop Rate: x1.1 > x1.25 > x1.5 > x2 > x3

*Total Tower Damage: x5 > x17.5 > x75 > x500 > x10000

*Incoming Damage: /2 > /5 > /20 > /400 > /25000

*XP Drop Rate: x1.5 > x2.75 > x5 > x10 > x20

*Wave Acceleration: x1.1 > x1.3 > x1.5

*Power Plant Boost Factor: x1.1 > x1.2 > x1.3 > x1.5

*Tower Attack Range: x1.02 > x1.05 > x1.1

*Ingame time speedup: Speed x2 --> Speed x3

===Changes to Power Plant Floor 1===
Once you have unlocked dyson sphere, you would unlock a new structure, the '''dyson node''', in powerplant floor 1.

Dyson nodes could provide a power gain itself without a need of other input, similar to Solar Panel and Wind Turbine. However, there is a special restriction that Dyson nodes can't be placed near each other(they can't share a common edge or corner).

The power income per Dyson node is '''x''''''0.25''', where '''x''' is your Dyson Power output in floor 2.

=Mine: Asteroid Mining=

"The earth is not enough so we are going to head for the stars. Asteroids can harbor precious artifacts, modules, and other treasures which are beneficial on your journey. Choose this path if you feel lucky."

===Cluster Tab===
Shows information about the clusters you have scanned.

'''Cluster''', it is a group of asteroids.

'''Asteroids''', these are big chunks of drillable rocks, contains a variety of items and boosts.

'''Scanning''', it is the process of looking for clusters. The cost varies on what Military Tier you are currently on. Higher military tier also means you can find further clusters, which give more rewards, but also taking longer to drill.

At MT6, you unlock '''Fast Scan''', it decreases the amount of time it takes to scan by 90%, but it doesn't show what possible rewards the cluster might have.

'''Switching''', it is the process of switching what cluster you are currently observing in the asteroids tab.

'''Delete''' (right click), it is the process of deleting the selected cluster.

On the top of the cluster tab shows where the ''name'', ''distance'', and ''rewards'' the cluster has is shown, next to the clusters are the corresponding information.

===Asteroids Tab===
Shows the asteroids of the selected cluster.

Each asteroids have tiles which you can '''drill''' automatically by simply clicking a tile and pay some mine resource.

You can drill multiple tiles at once, but each extra tile you drill at once increases the time to drill all tiles by x1.5 multiplicative.

After the drilling is finished, a reward will show on the tile you drilled, clicking it will collect it. There is also an option on the top right to claim all of the current rewards shown.

====Asteroid Mining Formula====
The Formula for Asteroid Mining is: '''Time''' = 2 * '''Distance''' / '''DrillPower''' * 1.5'''TileMining'''-1.

Where, '''Time''' is the amount of time it takes to mine the selected tiles in minutes.

'''Distance''' is the distance of the cluster in AU.

'''DrillPower''' is the after-percentage power value of the Asteroid Drill(e.g. if drill power is 1000%, use 10 in formula).

and '''TileMining''' is the amount of tiles being mined in current asteroid(including the tile you currently select).

===Upgrades===

*Scan Duration:

:Decreases the amount of time it takes to find a cluster.

*Asteroid Drill:

:Increases the efficiency of drilling, or decreases the amount of time it takes to mine a tile.

===Treasures Tab===
Shows the different rewards and boosts (except factory items) you have gotten from asteroids.

Farther distances yield much better rewards.

====Reward Types:====

*Modules

*Artifacts

*Boosts

Boosts increases your stats and comes in 3 different kinds:

=Trivia and Notes=
===The Dyson Sphere===
The Dyson sphere also has a nice boost to the power plant itself, making it useful beyond just tower testing. It is also one of the cheapest specializations to make early progress in, making it particularly well suited as a first choice.

===The Asteroid Mining===
The asteroid mines give useful boosts, good artifacts, and randomly drop factory items as well. If you've been ignoring your factory, it can give you a quick leg up, or you can luck into a high-tier producer. The mine is also a good early choice.

===The Crafter and Fabricator===
Despite the description, factory floor 2 does not actually simplify crafting much - you will still be either crafting everything by hand (and then crafting 1000x more, in order to "scan" them), or getting an AI package to do it for you. It is also extremely expensive to progress, making it almost useless until MT8. It is highly recommended that you wait and get this specialization last.
