@@tarrker Thanks! That's Factory Town, I listed it in past years and it's now released. I'm testing showing past good games in the intro and outro this year.
Thanks for including my game Moose Miners in this list :) I have been watching your videos for quite a while to see what new interesting games are upcoming in the city-builder, tycoon and related genres. Seeing my own game in one of these videos feels really cool.
Very excited for the Factorio Expansion, after the game was released out of beta, it felt 'complete' yet for the expansion they're adding stuff that has me like "how did I live without this before?"
@@GamerZakh I think they talked about it right after the release 1.0 update, talked about plans for the future, but maybe after this expansion they'll move onto other projects, I'm not sure I don't keep up with the blogs.
After that they'll spend the next 2 decades making it 1st person 3d with orbital mechanics and proper spaceship building like kerbal and underground mining like minecraft
Heh yeah the expansion looks incredible especially with the new challenges and quality of life improvements. The teasers make me want to open Factorio again right now, but I'll wait since those quality of life changes aren't in the base game yet.
I started Satisfactory for the first time this week, with the new Unreal Engine 5 update. It's so good! As a Factorio veteran it's a different style and takes a while to get used to but the game is freaking beautiful.
I would like to suggest SHAPEZ 2, which is suggested for 2024. The first SHAPEZ is a Factorio reduced to the absolute basics, and it's more an ongoing engineering puzzle. Very interested to see what the sequel offers.
I love how real Captain of Industry feels. Even on my low-end 1080p system, the graphics are awesome. The taillights actually work on the vehicles, and the hydraulic cylinders etc. are accurately modeled. "Maintenance" and "Unity" are great mechanics. Very innovative.
I think it's cool how factory building games have gotten really popular. When Infinifactory first came out I completed that one. Then Satisfactory came out later and I was on it first thing. Then I discovered survival games and that lasted for a while. Survival games got to a point where it feels like they are all the same. I noticed I have stayed with factory building games :)
Satisfactory is like a friendly vampire, it won't kill you, it just drinks you spare time. I enjoy Satisfactory as well and I am looking forward to 0.9 and 1.0.
Dyson Sphere is an amazing game. Played it more than a year ago and I am definitely looking forward to diving into it again from scratch once it goes full release. Automation Station looks interesting cause of the whole physics engine thingy it'll have going on, but I wish to see more of it first. Astro Colony seems to be VERY ambitious, will add it to my radar. Foundry sounds fun cause of LAN support not gonna lie haha. I miss those days. Techtonica is kinda reminding me of Planet Crafter, which I've been playing for a long time now and I greatly enjoy it. Gonna give it a shot and see if it can dethrone Planet Crafter for me.
Great game. Even in early access, it was more polished than final releases from some big name studios. I played the demo of Foundry. Good game, but didn't grab on to me. And of course The Planet Crafter is awesome.
I highly approve of this list!!!! Was going to mention though, the Developer of the Space Exploration mod got hired by Wube and is heavily helping with developing the new expansion ❤😊
Oh man i just began programming my own factory game a month ago. Hopefully i can get in 2025s list. Slow progress, as a solo dev doing it on my free time Great list as always Zakh
Uhhh The Crust looking good. Plan B: Terrarform looks good too. Captain of Industrie is a great game, i have a lot of fun with that. Moose Miners looks a little like the Scam ADS that you get for mobile games xD Got Dyson Sphere Programm, but hadnt the time to play more then a few hours. Astro Colony... i watched Josh`s Lets game it out and after that i couldnt play the game without doing only stupid things^^ thanks for the list, i will keep an eye on The Crust and Plan B
Funny that you would say that Moose Miners looks like the Scam ads for mobile games, that was the original inspiration for the game actually. I thought that the games as presented in the ads looked quite fun and wondered why no one made a game like that and decided to do it myself
@@lingonstudios thats cool =) i often think the same. the ads looking better then the actual game. already downloaded the demo, will test it in the evening when the handyman completed repairing our shutters.
@@lingonstudios okay i played the demo for around 9hrs until there was nothing more to mine. liked it so far, but i wished for an auto buy grinder left and right. and i hated the tease with the upgrades available in the full release, not knowing what they will do in the future xD
One I have been testing out now that came out just a week ago is Final Factory - it's basically a love letter to Factorio, Cosmoteers and far future science fiction with gameplay different enough to feel like a fresh experience. Everything you build is made of structures that make up a space station - and you can put thruster on the stations for ship building happiness. I'm having a lot of fun with it. :>
Satisfactory actually entered EA in 2019 March on epic. It went early access on steam in 2020 so it's been almost 5 years. Personally, I'm very much looking forward to the 1.0 release. I've spent a great deal of time in this game and I even bought it twice
I read or paraphrase the description as a 'word from the developers'. Then I give my opinions. It's not creative content at all, this is informational content. Your misunderstanding of the purpose makes you snarky but as you can see many people derive use from my lists, more than other lists, for a reason.
Hey karnematch, you are right. Revive & Prosper is inspired by Timberborn and also Going Medieval or Factorio. The difference is that you have a limited amount of characters. You can remodel the terrain as you wish. There is real-time water physics meaning that the moisture spreads according to weather conditions, and terrain upgrades. It also evaporates from the ground which you can slow down by planting vegetation and again weather can affect it too. And there are catapults for transporting items. There's even more, and we're always happy to discuss the depth of R&P on the Discor. Feel free to reach out to us there. shootinka 🙂
Foundry looks interesting. Been a while since I played Satisfactory, to me Satisfactory got kind of linear in a weird dynamic way. Hoping to find one a little more free form.
@@AtherionGG I absolutely LOVED the Foundry Demo when it was live. I've settled for Satisfactory since it's no longer playable, but Foundry was way more addicting in the quickness of its gameplay, whereas Satisfactory is way more slow and methodical. Exploring new seeds can be so addicting too, so you've never completely "solved" the game.
Is there a list of these that are multiplayer? I like playing factory games with friends and co-op or single player is often missing from reviews and I need to dig for it.
I played The Crust demo during the last Steam Fest, it's really nice and addictive. Like the story. Pretty sure it's going to be great. Also enjoying Astro Colony - notably that is a solo-dev game. Tefel, the dev is live streaming weekly on twitch. The interesting thing about Astro Colony is that the planets and planetoids are more like floating islands and you can dock your space ship to them and take them with you. Some players have hollowed out a planet and put a base inside.
wish u said satisfactory is finally on update 8. ive been waiting on that forever! im also super hyped for an update for factorio. those r the best two factory games out there for now.
@@apersonwhomayormaynotexist9868 "Sushi belt" in Factorio is a looped belt that you put multiple items on it without order and filter specific items off it at different places.
@@apersonwhomayormaynotexist9868 the term "Sushi belts" is used when you place a looped belt and put multiple items on it and filter specific items off it at different places of the belt. DoshDoshington made a fully auto- launching base base only using a massive sushi belt and explain what is a sushi belt in factory games. DocJade too but he used a different sushi belt design. Both videos are great
Factory/automation games are something I've always thought would be really cool to get into and yet somehow I couldn't get either of the two biggest games in the genre - Factorio and Satisfactory to stick, which is really sad/frustrating. Do you think there are any others in the genre that might somehow be appealing, maybe something more guided or beginner appealing or idfk what? Figured you might be the kinda fella to ask considering your content.
@@Taima Hmm if there's a theme or setting you really like, there's likely a game with that setting and I find that really helps getting into the mechanics. Otherwise you might try city-builders with production chains? They're sort of automation-lite but have a city-building focus. Games like Anno or Timberborn.
Moose Miners is so dumb.... and I love it. haha. Perfect game for playing while watching a movie/show. BTW, WHAT is the game in your intro? (at 0:04 - 0:24 seconds)
I can never decide if i want to get factorio or not. I have played a lot of dyson sphere program and satisfactory, but factorio just seems ridiculously complex and idk if i can get into that
Can highly recommend Captain of Industry, Dyson Sphere Program and Plan B: Terraform. Only caveat is that Plan B: Terraform is really processor heavy, so make sure your rig meets the minimum spec, better yet the recommended spec.
Zakh I love your videos i really do. I have only one request please can you also look at free to play games if possible because I can't afford the games
I'm covering as much as I can but good news, the creator Nookrium is doing a free games month. You can check out his videos from this month, he's playing just free games.
Games are inspired from all sorts of things, I could speak about that forever. Minecraft mods (IndustrialCraft and BuildCraft) inspired Factorio, I could mention that. Minecraft copied Infiniminer, so I could go there too.
I don't think Satisfactory is anywhere near getting out of EA. They just did the first stages of the monumental task of upgrading the games engine from UE4 to UE5 and then upped UE5 to UE5.2 and will likely upgrade again to UE5.3 and subsequent versions of the engine. This isn't something you do when you're ready to call a product finished. This is something you do when you have big plans and the new engine facilitates executing these plans. While the EU5 upgrade gives some major engine improvements, you'll be hard pressed to recognize the graphical difference between the UE4 and UE5 versions. The big advantages are in the unseen part of the engine and you don't upgrade an unseen part of the engine unless you plan to use the advantages that brings.
Aaah automation games... the ones that drive me totally insane ! Desync, I gave up on it... At least at the moment because programmation is pushing the concept a bit too far. Dyson Sphere program with enemies will be super fun but gosh this game needs co-op. Astro Colony, kinda gave up on it as well because moving your base is a nightmare and ressources do exhaust really fast. Satisfactory is still amazing and getting more and more complex ! Factorio is still the most amazing one for me, the pioneer but the most effective, space age is going to be a blast (off) !! Also, maybe it's just me but I tend to place the Rift Breaker in this category, since it has that kind of factorio feel but more simplistic and based on action... Dunno, it's a weird mix that one, still a great one though !
Dyson Sphere has a mod for coop. The game isn't overly complex on that so the mod ended up working pretty much perfectly. Not sure if they will update it for the combat stuff but it is there right now.
I guess this is my list :D I already had most of it either bought or listed :D I added few more to list -.- Now excuse me, I have to quit the real job because factory must grow! :) Thanks for the list and mentioning factorio - their factorio friday facts is again something to look forward to whole week :) Love those guys
Tomahtoe/tomaytoe. Ahprikot/ayprikot. Vahse/vayse. Garrarje/garrej I never understood why gif/jif was more of an issue than the hundreds of other words with multiple pronunciations. Both are in the dictionaries.
@@GamerZakh, I believe it is more US vs World thing not lingunistics. American obsession to pronounce G as they do, but for rest of the (non-English languages) G is pronounced as in word Günther :D And this 'debate' is older than the world and more of a joke tease! I did my part to boost TH-cam algorythms for your video, so you see I'm a good guy here afterall ;)
Satisfactory. It was my first. Update 8 also brought various game settings that allow for infinite power, invincibility, passive mode, etc, so you can make the game as simple as you want.
I did list it, for years. It's Factory Town. I'm trying something new, showing already released games for the intro and outro. It's an excuse to show an already released good game in an upcoming list video and people get curious and look for it or ask about it. It's a win all around.
Satisfactory since mid 2020? At that time it was already over 2 years old and on update 3. Mid 2020 it went to steam in addition to epic, so it's quite old right now.
Astro Colony is in a nice place right now, as long as you don't want to play multiplayer. It still needs a good chunk of polish for multiplayer. Constantly desyncs causing bots and scientists to multiply visually.
I've been loving Dyson Sphere Project ever since the start of the early access release, but I'll be honest: I hope they're not focusing too much on the combat stuff. I have zero interest in that, and will be disabling it in any future playthroughs. Would rather have them expand ideas like alternative recipes, more resource types, etc... I'm also the kind of guy who set up the biters in Factory to be non-respawning. I don't mind clearing them out, but I don't want this "Struggle for survival" theme to be the core. I want to be able to sit still for a few hours and not be under any kind of active threat, other than resources running out.
Had my eye on Satisfactory for years but I got out of the habit of buying Early Access games. However, with such an endorsement, I'm willing to make an exception.
In general I don't like early access ever since a lot of game devs started putting their games into early access and abandoning the project after grabbing some money. Foundry has been in "coming soon" at least a good couple years. Hard to say if it will ever come out. It could be as dead as deadstick.
Yeah but an 'early access' label is a game being honest. Do you prefer what games like Cyberpunk, No Man's Sky, and Cities Skylines 2 do? They 'release' but are clearly unfinished, then spend years fixing the game. It's not labelled 'early access', but isn't it the same thing without being honest about it? Just because a game doesn't say it's early access, doesn't mean it isn't early access.

I enjoy Satisfactory as well and I am looking forward to 0.9 and 1.0.
I feel you, 750+ hours
I have more hours in Satisfactory as an Early Access game than any other game I’ve ever played. Best $30 I’ve ever spent!
Literally just realized that this is the game genre I am most passionate about. Great video!

Oh man i just began programming my own factory game a month ago. Hopefully i can get in 2025s list. Slow progress, as a solo dev doing it on my free time
Great list as always Zakh
Finishing a solo game in under 2 years is a hell of an achievement. Even big studios usually need 3-5 minimum.
Will you post any updates to your TH-cam? I subbed and will be keeping an eye out in the future if so :)

Factorio became my favorite game back when i first tried a couple years ago, what a game.
One I have been testing out now that came out just a week ago is Final Factory - it's basically a love letter to Factorio, Cosmoteers and far future science fiction with gameplay different enough to feel like a fresh experience.
Everything you build is made of structures that make up a space station - and you can put thruster on the stations for ship building happiness. I'm having a lot of fun with it. :>

To be specific, "The factory is expanding to meet the needs of the expanding factory." Just like the Bureaucracy. 🙂

dyson sphere released the dark fog update and its SO GOOD i tell ya
Factorio SA, Satisfactory and DSP are my top 3 waiting list
2nd one just looks like a mod or something for timberborn

Moose Miners is so dumb.... and I love it. haha. Perfect game for playing while watching a movie/show. BTW, WHAT is the game in your intro? (at 0:04 - 0:24 seconds)
That's Infinifactory. A lovely factory puzzling game where you build production lines to solve levels.
I guess you just looked in Steam, but Satisfactory was released on Epic on March 18, 2019, one year earlier.
It's been half a decade, I just forgot the year of Epic exclusivity. I listed Satisfactory in 2019 too.
You had some footage play for production line - but you didn't show it? It's a great little game - just a bit older than others.
I've listed production line for 2 years building to its release but it fully released in 2019, so half a decade before the scope of this list.
My current favorite genre ☺❤
What was the game in the end credits of your video? It wasnt one of the titles in the video itself :S
That's Factory Town, I'm using popular released games that I've listed before in the intros and outros this time.
captain of industry looks kinda epic
I can never decide if i want to get factorio or not. I have played a lot of dyson sphere program and satisfactory, but factorio just seems ridiculously complex and idk if i can get into that
I would have been disappointed if you didn't include factorio expansion in this video ❤
What's the game In the intro with the constructing on conveyor
That would be Infinifactory.
there will be a demo for the crust on jan /8 /24 it was announced on their discord
what game was that at the very end (after factorio)?????
That's Factory Town, I listed that in previous years and it's released now.
Captain of industry has, imho, the best terraforming ever.
I'm sad that Scorchlands didn't make the list, the game is pretty, casual, and has a unique style.
Thank you for the list Zakh, looking forward for your next ones.
Glad you're enjoying them!
what are the names of the games in the intro @GamerZakh?
In the intro it's Infinifactory, Mindustry, Factory Town, and Production Line.

Thank you! I appreciate the support
Revive and prosper is timberborn with belts and catapults
my father had a factory game that was an early access game since he was a teen ager and planning to release it on his 80 year birthday 🤣
I don't think Satisfactory is anywhere near getting out of EA.
They just did the first stages of the monumental task of upgrading the games engine from UE4 to UE5 and then upped UE5 to UE5.2 and will likely upgrade again to UE5.3 and subsequent versions of the engine.
This isn't something you do when you're ready to call a product finished.
This is something you do when you have big plans and the new engine facilitates executing these plans.
While the EU5 upgrade gives some major engine improvements, you'll be hard pressed to recognize the graphical difference between the UE4 and UE5 versions.
The big advantages are in the unseen part of the engine and you don't upgrade an unseen part of the engine unless you plan to use the advantages that brings.

Factorio: Space Age looks so damn goood!
I hope you can secret hidden fight nazis in Crust. :)
Revive and Prosper looks like Timberborn without polish.
When Timberborn started people said it was like Banished without polish haha.
Aaah automation games... the ones that drive me totally insane ! Desync, I gave up on it... At least at the moment because programmation is pushing the concept a bit too far.
Dyson Sphere program with enemies will be super fun but gosh this game needs co-op.
Astro Colony, kinda gave up on it as well because moving your base is a nightmare and ressources do exhaust really fast.
Satisfactory is still amazing and getting more and more complex !
Factorio is still the most amazing one for me, the pioneer but the most effective, space age is going to be a blast (off) !!
Also, maybe it's just me but I tend to place the Rift Breaker in this category, since it has that kind of factorio feel but more simplistic and based on action... Dunno, it's a weird mix that one, still a great one though !
Dyson Sphere has a mod for coop. The game isn't overly complex on that so the mod ended up working pretty much perfectly. Not sure if they will update it for the combat stuff but it is there right now.
Automation Station looks like Astroneer from top, no?
I guess this is my list :D I already had most of it either bought or listed :D I added few more to list -.- Now excuse me, I have to quit the real job because factory must grow! :) Thanks for the list and mentioning factorio - their factorio friday facts is again something to look forward to whole week :) Love those guys
Glad you enjoyed it! Yeah if you're a strong fan of a genre you'll likely know most I can find too but I always try and find everything interesting.
You said JIFS, not GIFS, I cannot accept that.
Tomahtoe/tomaytoe. Ahprikot/ayprikot. Vahse/vayse. Garrarje/garrej I never understood why gif/jif was more of an issue than the hundreds of other words with multiple pronunciations. Both are in the dictionaries.
@@GamerZakh, I believe it is more US vs World thing not lingunistics. American obsession to pronounce G as they do, but for rest of the (non-English languages) G is pronounced as in word Günther :D
And this 'debate' is older than the world and more of a joke tease! I did my part to boost TH-cam algorythms for your video, so you see I'm a good guy here afterall ;)
@@MLMariss Haha thank you! A bunch have been coming for me on this video because of that.
Rightfuly so, man :D But never the less - nice work here, I'm scouting from more games to play and make sure I haven't missed any!
Hey, all these games look like they actually fit the genre. You're leaving me nothing to complain about! 🙂
Moose Miner looks like all those cheap mobile games made into an actual, interesting game
Alot of these games focus on the factory. I think factorio is still the best because there is factory AND combat.
Satisfactory is my favorite factory game
The Factorio DLC looks like the space exploration mod because they hired the modder who made space exploration to work on the DLC 😂
I think it is the other way around, Earendel works at Wube and makes factorio mods on his free time
@@pedromiguelsilva2077 they were hired in 2021 (announced in FFF 365) but the first spacex mod was from 2019
Shapez 2 is coming out pretty soon, and it's 3D this time.
Shapez 2 has a 2025 release date, but I missed that they're looking at mid-2024 for early access.
awesome
there is a demo for foundry i believe.
was. It went offline October 28th.
ah.@@StarlightLumi
You kind of sound like Real Civil Engineer, except if you told me you were an engineer I would believe you
Haha well I'm not an engineer, I was a school teacher though.
@@GamerZakh your video is well done
@@nilsvids Thank you!
What game is the intro?
In the intro it's Infinifactory, Mindustry, Factory Town, and Production Line.
Love the opening, I have really fond memories of Infinifactory
watching this video literally while playing Satisfatory lol
Can anyone recommend one for beginners? Some of these can be overwhelming. :)
Satisfactory. It was my first. Update 8 also brought various game settings that allow for infinite power, invincibility, passive mode, etc, so you can make the game as simple as you want.
@@AIRaceMAT Thanks!
what game is the outro game ??? might wanna list that if your showing it facepalm
I did list it, for years. It's Factory Town. I'm trying something new, showing already released games for the intro and outro. It's an excuse to show an already released good game in an upcoming list video and people get curious and look for it or ask about it. It's a win all around.
Satisfactory since mid 2020? At that time it was already over 2 years old and on update 3. Mid 2020 it went to steam in addition to epic, so it's quite old right now.
Oh right forgot the year on Epic, it was 1 year old at that time, initial Epic exclusive launch was 2019.
since 19 march 2019@@GamerZakh
Satisfactory is the best!
the ppl who made Planetary Annihilation are making a factory war game called Industrial Annihilation
I got that slated for the RTS list, but yeah there's factory stuff there too.
@@GamerZakh it is called “industrial” annihilation after all 😄
You gotta showcase shapez 2
I saw it was scheduled for a 2025 release and missed they were looking at 2024 for early access. I'll list it next time it fits a genre.
Hate to say it but Revive and Prosper looks almost exactly like a dollar store Timberborn
Astro Colony is in a nice place right now, as long as you don't want to play multiplayer. It still needs a good chunk of polish for multiplayer. Constantly desyncs causing bots and scientists to multiply visually.
Thanks! Did you try co-op on the dedicated servers? There are many free public servers you can play currently on.
I've been loving Dyson Sphere Project ever since the start of the early access release, but I'll be honest: I hope they're not focusing too much on the combat stuff. I have zero interest in that, and will be disabling it in any future playthroughs. Would rather have them expand ideas like alternative recipes, more resource types, etc...
I'm also the kind of guy who set up the biters in Factory to be non-respawning. I don't mind clearing them out, but I don't want this "Struggle for survival" theme to be the core. I want to be able to sit still for a few hours and not be under any kind of active threat, other than resources running out.
Love your channel, here to support. But these games are not for me.
Thank you! That's very kind of you and no worries, a lot more genres to cover.
Had my eye on Satisfactory for years but I got out of the habit of buying Early Access games. However, with such an endorsement, I'm willing to make an exception.
You won't regret it. This game will entertain you for hundreds of hours until you automate all space elevator parts.
Now would be a good time $16.49 USD until the Nov 20th on Steam.
@@ForsakenFenix SO tempting. I've bought so many great games on sale lately, I'll probably never finish all of them.
@@ForsakenFenix Already bought it. 😁
In general I don't like early access ever since a lot of game devs started putting their games into early access and abandoning the project after grabbing some money.
Foundry has been in "coming soon" at least a good couple years. Hard to say if it will ever come out. It could be as dead as deadstick.
Yeah but an 'early access' label is a game being honest. Do you prefer what games like Cyberpunk, No Man's Sky, and Cities Skylines 2 do? They 'release' but are clearly unfinished, then spend years fixing the game. It's not labelled 'early access', but isn't it the same thing without being honest about it? Just because a game doesn't say it's early access, doesn't mean it isn't early access.
