Work is the whole of life - at least in the Construction simulation Smart Factory Tycoon, developed by Turquoise Revival Games and published by GrabtheGames and IndieArk. In the game, you as a player can make children's dreams come true. Your task is to build and manage a factory in which various toys are produced.

Tireless workers
Making toys is a 24-hour job. So that the children's eyes can soon light up, you first plan the size of your factory and set up the first small machines. But where are the workers? They still have to be delivered, of course.
As a small Trick you don't get any flesh and blood employees. After all, people are only able to perform to a limited extent by nature. They need breaks, sleep and food. And to top it all off, they want money for their work?
Because such impertinence is intolerable, there's no Factory Workers made of steel and chrome. You can order robots to arrive by train, ship, truck or even hot air balloon, just to work for you non-stop.
Creative expansion
At the heart of Smart Factory Tycoon is the development and expansion of your company. You build products such as squeaky toys, bicycles or teddy bears, manage the individual production steps and later deliver your goods. You earn money for this, but also gain experience. This allows you to gradually unlock new machines, new production lines and improvements for your factory. Among other things, you can tap into new energy sources as you progress. For example, if you focus more on wind power and solar panels, you will save costs that can be reinvested in your company.
But your workers also collect Experience. You can improve them over the course of the game so that they work more efficiently, track their routes faster or produce even better products. However, managing resources is important so that you don't end up spending more money on all the improvements than you can possibly earn.
Small shortcomings
If you compare Smart Factory Tycoon with other construction simulations such as Little Big Workshopthen you will notice some small compromises. Among other things, you are much more limited in your product range. You only produce toys and unfortunately nothing else. In addition, the cuddle factor is intended, but comes up a little short. Little Big Workshop is a little more convincing here. The workers scurry around a lot more, making it more fun to watch them produce. You can also go into different product categories, which gives you much more freedom when designing your company.
But still offers Smart Factory Tycoon is enough fodder for fans of construction simulations to spend hours designing their own toy factory and growing bigger and bigger.
