Assembly lines, evil aliens, and puzzles abound in Infinifactory, an upcoming puzzle game developed by Zachtronics Industries and currently in Steam Early Access. You play as a human who has been abducted by a race of bureaucratic aliens. These aliens force you to assemble machines as part of their vaguely evil plot. The machines, which are the puzzles of the game, require you to place certain construction blocks in order to transfer special blocks to their destinations. While the premise sounds simple enough, the puzzles are complex and open for multiple solutions.Each construction site requires you to use various construction blocks to make assembly-line like machines to transport blocks around the site.
You place and remove blocks in a manner that will make any Minecraft players feel instantly comfortable. As long as you can complete the objective, your machine can take any form, which offers a surprising amount of freedom and openness for a puzzle game.There is also a loose narrative and motivation for completing the puzzles. After finishing a few puzzles, the aliens will garble at you in their language, reward you with food pellets, and send you back to your holding cell to make more machines. Small bits of information about the alien captors lay scattered in the sites themselves, adding a subtle storyline and motivation for building.Like any puzzle game, there is a learning curve and some difficulties when starting out. Here are a few tips for aspiring builders as they attempt to please their alien overlords. Practice building with every new blockYou begin with very simple construction blocks like the conveyer belt, but after a few trials you will unlock more complicated blocks that require some practice to use effectively. The game will give you a new block but only offer a simple diagram to show its purpose, so the best way to learn how the new block works is to experiment!
Futuristic factories! Keep on the good side of your alien overlords and let your creativity shine in futuristic sandbox puzzler Infinifactory. With this Steam game,.
Use the diagram as a guide and try building with every new block before you attempt to solve the puzzle.After you complete a few segments of the game, you can unlock a sandbox mode which you can use to practice your building techniques. Since many of the later puzzles will require multiple construction blocks, it is beneficial to learn how each block operates.2. Take the puzzle one piece at a timeIt is tempting to see each puzzle as a single objective to solve, but often you’ll have to tackle individual parts of it. Some puzzles will require you to transport multiple blocks to two different destination points, or you’ll have to weld the blocks into shapes before they can be turned in.Look at your objectives carefully, and then focus on one aspect of the puzzle.
Usually solving an individual objective will help the entire puzzle make more sense. Test each part of your machine as you construct itIf you feel you’ve solved a certain part of your puzzle, then test it!

My life journey is. At any time during your build phase you can activate your machine and watch it work. Seeing the machine you constructed in action gives a good sense of how the parts will actually perform. If you see an error or correction you need to make, you can attempt to fix it in its early stages before if hinders your progress later on.4. Don’t worry about your end game scoreYou get a score at the end of each puzzle that is based on how long it takes to solve the puzzle once the machine is activated (this time is referred to as Cycles) and how many blocks you had to place(this counts as your Footprint). As you attempt each puzzle, don’t get overly worried about your score. Every puzzle can be reattempted, and the score mechanic works as a way to improve your time and machine building, as well as compare your score against friends that have also played Infinifactory. If you complete a puzzle, your machine is ‘saved’ and you can retry the puzzle using the same model to improve the design and your score.
Explore your test siteWhile the puzzles are the heart of gameplay of Infinifactory, a subtle story builds around most of the construction sites. You’ll find the remains of past test subjects and can read their failure logs to see how they met their gruesome ends. These logs give small details about the alien race that has abducted you and their sinister motivations. The fail logs serve to build on the game's atmosphere and advance the story, and they are pretty funny to listen to. The pleasant soundtrack playing in the background may even help players forget that they are being forced to make assembly lines for aliens.Infinifactory feels well polished for a game in Steam Early Access. The puzzles are challenging, and figuring out each new machine gave me that sense of accomplishment that only solving a difficult puzzle can provide.
The loose narrative (and being forced to complete puzzles by an antagonistic source) reminded me fondly of Portal. Placing the puzzles themselves felt like placing blocks in Minecraft, so every part of this game felt comfortable and fun.Since there is no set way to solve every puzzle, I felt free to create bizarre machines as I attempted new solutions. With an unlockable sandbox mode and the ability to create your own puzzles, I can see Infinifactory being a social experience as players share and showoff their creations.Infinifactory is still in Early Access but is.
