I assume you’ve played Factorio?

It would be interesting to play Factorio on a very small map, with some mechanic where you get to duplicate items you’ve managed to produce - the idea being that you are continuously tearing down older parts of your factory so you can build new production lines, and always being constrained by space.

I couldn’t really get into Reactor Incremental in the time I had today, it took me too long to understand how to get going. I’ll give it another go this weekend.




I couldn't get that Reactor Incremental to load in order to compare it, but what you're describing sounds like https://factoryidle.com/ which I love


Thanks! That does seem up my street.


Yep, for many hours.

Reactor games scratch a different itch. It's all about maximizing heat dissipation.


Pardon my ignorance, but are reactor games a specific sub-genre of these games in itself? Are there other examples I can play?


There are, but I would not play any of them. They are both predatory and bad.

There's always the OG reactor planner (or just industrialcraft2 or gregtech if you have more time).
