It's that accessibility that makes Infinifactory special: not only is it clever, but it shares its cleverness with the player. With this Steam game, created by Zachtronics (the creators of SpaceChem and Infiniminer), youll need to build factories that assemble products - and try not to die in the process. The best Infinifactory solutions blow my mind, but I'm happy with my own ones too. Futuristic factories Keep on the good side of your alien overlords and let your creativity shine in futuristic sandbox puzzler Infinifactory. This is the most generous game Zachtronics has made, opening up SpaceChem's lofty problem-solving up to anybody who can place blocks without sacrificing too much intellectual headroom in the process. It's nice to be able to finally give Infinifactory the outright recommendation it warranted earlier in the year. It's appropriate, then, that Infinifactory allows you to output a gif of your creations at the touch of a button (these have been upgraded in a recent patch, too) and that, for those who want to take things further, there's the option to create and share user-generated puzzles via the Steam Workshop. It's the videogame equivalent of those incredibly compulsive looping gifs of factory processes, but you made it-and the pride you experience in coming up with a solution feels 'earned' in a way that it does in few other games. There's a tremendous satisfaction to watching a machine that you've slaved over diligently follow your orders.

#Infinifactory tips Patch

Patch 0.3.0.1: Fixed some water volumes on the map causing the Water Extractor to stop outputting.The genius of Infinifactory is not that it's a very well-designed puzzle game: it's that it makes you feel like a talented designer too.

Patch 0.3.2.0: Now should no longer be disconnected from water on load when the water volume has been replaced.

Patch 0.3.2.1: Now should no longer be upgradable to Geothermal Generators.

Patch 0.3.3.0: The fluid display now shows the correct amount.

Patch 0.3.4.0: This patch made Water Extractors no longer snap to the water surface, making them impossible to place.

Patch 0.3.4.3: Now should be place-able again in more locations (there are still some issues).Patch 0.3.4.4: Now should be place-able again in water with enough depth.Patch 0.4.0.0: Implemented proper snapping functionality for Water Extractors.At 250%, a Water Extractor produces exactly as much flow as a Pipeline Mk.1 can transport. Water Extractors can be overclocked by using Power Shards. This also works from the side, but can be trickier to line up as the snapping point is off-center.Īdditionally, holding Ctrl allows the Water Extractors to be snapped next to each other If you want to snap to the grid of the first foundation make sure it is on the same grid as the second foundation. The Water Extractor should snap to the same grid as the second foundation. Build a Water Extractor while aiming at the second foundation.Make sure to leave three foundations of space between the foundations. Build a second Foundation 8m x 4m on the far side of where the Water Extractor will be placed.The top of this foundation should be close to the water surface. Build a Foundation 8m x 4m where you want the output Pipeline to connect.The following technique can be used to make this easier: To snap Water Extractors to a foundation grid, you must be pointing at a foundation while placing the Water Extractor. A build hologram will not appear when attempting to place a Water Extractor beyond this boundary.

There is a workaround with underwater Stackable Conveyor Poles, see below.Īfter a certain distance, water in these areas no longer counts as a water volume for purposes of building Extractors.

However, there are some areas where you can build water extractors despite possessing an inadequate depth of water, or no water at all.

There are exceptions: as the deep water area classified by the internal game code does not totally match the terrain appearance, there are some areas where Water Extractor cannot be built on them, in which case one must find another water source.For example, if a Foundation is located nine meters below the water level, an extractor can then be built above it. Water Extractors need a vertical clearance of at least nine meters below the water surface.Rivers are usually considered shallow water. When building it, a warning will display if the target water is too shallow. Water Extractors must be built on deep water.It is advised to stand on higher elevation such as on a Lookout Tower or ladders before building the Extractors.

Sometimes, it can be difficult to place the Water Extractor down due to the depth of the water and the view angle.

Zachtronics is also developing the 'open-ended programming game' TIS-100.

Can be snapped to Foundations or other extractors. Typically Infinifactory will cost 18.99, but it will be 10 per cent off at 17.09 until 7th July.

Thus, it is recommended to build the Water Extractor first, then build the Foundations (if desired) around it.

The building hitbox is about 20 m x 19.5 m, however, the space required to place it down is 25 m x 25 m.
