Overview

About this game

Factoriant is a factory builder where you build a sprawling underground factory—run entirely by ants.

You are a young queen ant. Dig tunnels, carry food, hatch workers, and automate your colony's production.

Build a vast subterranean factory where thousands of ants work tirelessly, day and night.

Digging the Nest

Your underground factory needs space.

Plan your tunnels to optimize logistics, secure production zones, and defend against intruders.

Full Automation

Every task can be automated.

Ant lines deliver food and materials. Ants assemble products, research new technologies—and more.

As your colony grows, even flying bees and rail-running tortoises will become part of your industrial empire.

Exploration & Industrialization

Dig deeper to uncover mineral resources like ores and oil.

Lay down pipelines and turn your nest into a fully industrialized powerhouse.

Dare to invade human homes, and you might even harness gas and electricity as powerful energy sources.

Natural Enemies

Hungry birds prey on your workers.

Curious kids flood your tunnels just for fun.

But you’re no ordinary ant—arm yourself and fight back.

Real Animal Behaviors

While stylized for fun, the game draws inspiration from real-world animal ecology.

Experience the farming behavior of leafcutter ants, predation by wrynecks, and fascinating symbiotic relationships with eumyrmococcus.
