MicroFab — is a factory strategy game about microchip production, where the path to success begins with a small workshop and a couple of basic lines. While former industry giants struggle to stay afloat after the Great Chip Crisis, small independent manufacturers have a chance to take their place. Funds are constantly tight, demand is growing faster than capacity, and competitors are closely monitoring every success. All that remains is to expand production and prevent the market from slipping away. A factory the size of an empire At first, everything seems fairly innocuous: silicon wafers, a few machines, and basic processors. Then new processing stages emerge, complex process chains, and the need to calculate literally every meter of available space. Some lines produce blanks, others handle etching and lithography, and still others assemble finished products. Gradually, the factory begins to resemble a huge, nonstop machine. High profits always come with risk. The desire to speed up production can lead to increased defects, and damaged wafers can ruin the results of lengthy preparation. A constant balance must be struck between speed, quality, and profitability. This is precisely what turns conventional automation into a real struggle for efficiency and a place among market leaders. Features of the game Construction of complex production chains. Multi-stage microchip manufacturing. Quality control and defect rate. Evolution of the factory from simple processors to advanced technologies.
