A few years in Early Access and it's now complete. Luden.io have released the 1.0 update for Learning Factory, a chilled factory building automation sim about supplying cats on Mars with everything they need. It has Native Linux support and is Steam Deck Verified.

More about it: "Learning Factory is a relaxing automation game, which lets you concentrate on the most important task in the Universe: making cats happy again. You're a humble genius scientist who gets invited to become the chief engineer at an abandoned Factory on Mars, designed to produce and sell exquisite goods for cats. It was conceived to learn everything about cats and make them happy, but it is desolated now, and cats are leaving Factory Stores unhappy and empty-pawed."

  • Produce and sell exquisite goods to cats.
  • Collect and analyze data with Machine Learning.
  • Scale and make the factory more efficient.

Much like their previous game, the acclaimed puzzle game about machine learning while True: learn(), Learning Factory is backed by specialists in the subject, and implements real-world machine learning models.

I checked it out years ago and was quite impressed with it and since it has expanded massively. The game now has a Very Positive rating on Steam too.

Gave it a thumbs down and refund in the beginning of the EA period. It couldn't deal with ultrawide displays and it was impossible to rebind keys making it unplayable. Bought it again this year and everything has been fixed or added, so good on the devs. Weird game. That's not a bad thing, but with my reflexes going to regular factory games it was a little weird and then Satisfactory and Factorio gave us major updates so I left it. I'll give it a proper go sometime soon though!
