Alchemy Factory — Is It Worth Playing in 2026?

Great game, partially coded by AI going by some of the files. It uses onnx runtime which is a LLM assisted development platform.

Thank god for co-op so I can delegate tasks to my friends and make someone play supermarket sim while the rest of us figure out the factory situation. The in-game universe (customers, vendors) could use some fleshing out because it does feel pretty empty when you aren't actively neck-deep in factory logistics, but for an early access game, it's to be expected.

Great game, progression is well paced, all of the little systems reward messing around and getting used to them, not personally a fan of the scrollwheel being used to swap between hotbars but it's fully rebindable so that's not even a complaint. only dropping a reveiw for the algoritim, 10/10

A cute and surprisingly in-depth factory game. Despite being a bit rough around the edges, it's a lot of fun.

I absolutely love automation games, I have hundreds of hours in factorio and satisfactory. This game, although different. Provides the same addicting experience as factorio. Although not as deep or massive as factorio and satisfactory. It's still an amazing game with solid building mechanics, a great gameplay loop, and overall super satisfying. And it being in early access is the crazier part. It certainly feels like a polished and refined game.

All I need to recommend this game to others is for there to be less penalty for refactoring your setup. It took me 20 minutes of picking up little bags and putting the contents into boxes after deleting my whole plot. A quick fix would be an unlimited/virtual box that can only receive items from deconstruction. Focus on fun.
