Factory Town 2: Paradise (AppID: 3312130)

This follow-up to the best-selling Factory Town lets you create a gigantic automated megafactory to supply the needs of a tropical village at the foot of a massive volcano.

Starting from a deserted island, build up a town from scratch by placing houses, farms, production buildings, and shops. Townspeople will soon join your island and take over necessary tasks. As your economy grows, you'll need to solve bottlenecks and optimize supply chains using roads, bridges, trains, conveyor belts, and other automated delivery systems. Keep everyone's stats full by supplying them with food, water, clothing, luxuries, and other goods, and your tiny village will grow into a metropolis stretching across multiple islands!

All of this is happening under the watchful eye of a powerful but friendly volcano deity. By feeding items into the volcano, you can gain its favor and it will reward you with new recipes, technology, and upgrades. The volcano can even summon new islands from the ocean floor that you can use to expand your town when you need more space.

A day/night cycle, volumetric water physics, dozens of new items, overhauled town simulation, a controllable avatar and new transportation gadgets like catapults and ziplines offer fans of the original game a fresh and massively improved experience.

Dig trenches and place dams to control the flow of water from springs in the mountains down to your farms and reservoirs to ensure they are properly hydrated. Use waterwheels and windmills to turn drive shafts that can boost food and mineral processing power, or generate electricity that flows through power lines to run refrigerators or furnaces.

Produce dozens of different items including tropical drinks, pastries, ice cream, cooked meals, coffee, clothes, jewelry, books, medicine, and potions. Each item has its own set of worker-boosting stats, so you'll have to choose the best items to make based on what resources you have and the needs of your town.

As always, you can relax and build with no stress or fear of failure, since there are no harsh penalties or time pressure to punish players for experimenting.
