Games like Factorio: production chains and logistics on a real map

Factorio is about the joy of production clicking into place - resources flow, the factory grows and the bottleneck moves somewhere else. Kokume is not a conveyor-belt factory, but it rewards the same mindset: you mine where the real landscape allows, process resources in several steps and let wagons haul production along routes you plan yourself. Production and logistics keep growing with every update.

What a Factorio player will find in Kokume

Multi-step production

You mine a resource first, then process it: the brickworks turns clay and wood into bricks, the sawmill cuts planks and the foundry smelts 4 iron and 2 wood into 1 steel. The workshop makes parts from materials - wheels, drawbars, canvas, springs and grease - and better wagons are built from them.

Logistics you design

Assign a wagon to a route with stops where it loads and unloads, and let it run back and forth or in a loop. Long-haul wagons carry cargo between towns up to 40 km apart. Every leg costs gold by distance, so a well-planned route pays off.

Terrain decides the deposits

Just like in Factorio, where a resource lies matters. A mine’s yield depends on the type of resource region - forest, quarry, ore vein, field or water. But you do not scout deposits on a generated map; they are in the streets and woods around you.

Bottlenecks and scaling

Steel is the late-game bottleneck: it only comes from iron, and building levels 6-10 and the best gear all need it. Buildings upgrade up to level 10 and production buildings can be refined further with mastery, so there is always something to optimise.

Kokume vs. Factorio

Factorio is a finished, deep game for PC and consoles; Kokume is a mobile strategy game in early access, playable in Czechia and Slovakia for now. It is not a replacement for a belt factory - the table shows what the two share and where they differ.

Frequently asked questions

What games are similar to Factorio?

The closest are factory builders such as Satisfactory, Dyson Sphere Program and shapez, where you build production lines and belts. On mobile, simpler idle factory games dominate. Kokume takes a different route: production chains and logistics are part of a strategy game on a real map, where you compete with other players for resources and routes.

Is Kokume a factory game like Factorio?

Not strictly - you do not lay belts or build assembly lines. It does share the core Factorio players enjoy: chained production steps, logistics planning, chasing bottlenecks and gradual scaling. On top of that it adds territorial conflict and tower defense.

How does resource transport work in Kokume?

Mines store their output on site. You either collect it in person or assign a wagon to a transport route - it visits the stops, loads and unloads, and runs back and forth or in a loop. Each leg costs gold, and a route can keep a gold reserve it never spends. You can pause a route from anywhere; changing its stops needs you on site.

Will production in Kokume keep expanding?

Yes, production and logistics are among the areas we develop most. The latest additions are long-haul wagons between towns and workshop parts that better wagons are built from. We announce new features on Discord.

Do I have to pay for Kokume?

No. The game is free on Android and in the web browser, and we sell nothing inside it. It is in early access, so it keeps changing and growing.

Can Kokume be played outside Czechia and Slovakia?

Not yet. The map is built on data for Czechia and Slovakia, so there is nothing to claim elsewhere. If you want to play where you live, get in touch on Discord - once enough players from one country speak up, we open it.

Start production on the map of your neighbourhood

Kokume is free on Android and in the web browser. Place your main building, find a forest, a quarry and an ore vein nearby and plan your first wagon route.
