Our factory tycoon
We make an idle factory game ourselves: Idle AI Factory: Robot Tycoon. Friendly robots run a factory across three worlds, with AI Research, collectible robots with their own bonuses, weekend events and a Factory Reboot for permanent cores. It is free, runs offline, and nothing in its shop costs more than $9.49. It is new, so it is not in the table.
Tips for any idle tycoon
- Upgrade the bottleneck. In most tycoons, income is limited by the slowest part of the chain: the elevator, the trucks, the warehouse. Find it and upgrade it first.
- Hire managers early. They are what makes a tycoon idle.
- Aim for milestones. Many tycoons double production at certain levels, like Idle AI Factory at levels 10, 25, 50, 75 and 100.
- Reset when progress stalls. See prestige, rebirth and ascension explained.
