Welcome to the Factory Framework, the easiest tool to jumpstart a factory sim. Full access to the source code and a fully-playable demo scene will bootstrap your project with highly customizable items, manufacturing recipes, and multiple building types at your disposal.

2024 Optimization Update

Completely overhauled the conveyor belts, pathing systems, and save functionality to be more streamlined. This does have the effect of making previous saves incompatible so PLEASE back up your projects before upgrading.

Power Grid Update!

Here's to another year of exciting updates, we would like to thank everyone for the support so far. This latest update brings energy systems into the framework.

• direct-connections and area of effect power delivery
• new buildings for renewable and non-renewable energy sources
• efficient graph representation for connecting and serializing everything
• create and destroy new connections at runtime

Capabilities:

• Easily define custom items without ever touching code
• Create your own recipes to combine or break apart items
• Basic building types: Producers, Processors, and Storage
• Buildings to split and merge conveyor belts
• Smart conveyor belts + highly configurable
• Multiple inputs and outputs, as many as you want
• Simple Input/Output Sockets to move items between any component
• Compatible with all render pipelines
• Burst and Jobs accelerated multithreaded mesh generation for conveyors
• Easily Save and Load all aspects of your factory
• Adjust y-axis belt placement for stacking and layering complex factories
• integrate Power Grids into your factory layouts

Smart Conveyors

The conveyors are highly configurable via global settings. Change the turning radius, minimum item spacing, textures, or even the solver used to create the path. The Solver type can be segment (linear), splines, or smart paths.

Easy-to-use Custom Editors

Utilizing the new UI Elements system, the Item and recipe editors will allow you to add in your own items to the template without ever touching any code. Drag and drop icons, prefabs, and specify settings all within the inspector.

Future Roadmap:

The Factory Framework will continue to be updated as much as possible. When you buy now, you will, of course, get all future updates for free.

Future updates will likely include:

• extra Jobs/Burst Compatability
• further optimizations
• more demo scenes
• more example building and item prefabs
• additional power delivery settings
