FactoIsle

Overview

Factoisle is a quest-driven survival factory builder that blends deep automation with open-world exploration and clear technological progression. Stranded on a mysterious island after a plane crash, your goal is to escape by building and fueling a fully functional airplane. 

Starting with nothing but stone tools, you’ll progress through distinct eras — from basic survival and iron smelting to ore-growing trees, steam power, biofuels, internal combustion engines, and primitive electronics. Every major milestone is guided by a comprehensive quest book that teaches mechanics naturally while giving you the freedom to experiment and optimize.

The main story is partially playable in this alpha version; future updates will add electricity tiers and later chapters.

Automation

Expect satisfying progression from hand-crafting to self-sustaining mega-factories:

• Logistics: Item tubes, extractors, crates, fluid pipes & tanks
• Machines: Assemblers, sawmills, smashers, furnaces (blast/steam/coke), wirecutters, quarries, fermenters, refineries
• Power: Steam boilers & Turbines & Combustion engines
• Automatization with animals: Beavers auto-chop wood; hedgehogs gather apples

Build automated lines that harvest ores from trees, process alloys, and fuel your escape—while you explore.

Open World Building

Expect a vast, destructible island to claim and industrialize:

• Exploration: Procedural islands, ore veins, wrecks, loots
• Building: Free voxel placement/breaking
• Multi-Block: Build advanced machines by placing blocks in specific patterns.
• Farming: Plant acorns for Iron/Tin/Gold/Colorfull Trees yielding metal logs

Transform wilderness into your automated empire.

Minecraft Technical Modpack-Like Experience

Expect the same deep, multi-stage engineering grind and satisfaction as GregTech, IC2, BuildCraft, and Immersive Engineering modpacks:

• Processing: Ores/logs → dust/planks/ingots → plates/wires/gears → alloys/components
• Multi-Block: Assemble advanced machines via block patterns
• Logistics/Pipes: Item tubes, extractors, fluid pipes
• Power Tiers: Manual → Steam → Combustion fuels → Primitive electronics
• Renewables: Tree farms, animal automation, quarries
