Gain Factory Reloaded

A game about building a factory to mass produce food to feed a goddess and make her gain weight!

Now with bees!

You mine resources from veins, harvest milk and honey from cowgirls and bees, farm crops, then you run those materials through machines to process them into food and factory components.

The world generates with randomized cowgirls and bees, so basically every characteryou meet is going to be somewhat unique. The characters can be spoken with, fed, undressed, milked, and made to gain weight.

There are customization options for the player character. The player can also gain weight. New clothes styles are unlocked for the player by undressing a piece of clothing from an character.

The game plays kinda like a mix of Factorio and Infinifactory, if I was to be generous. Automation is often a bit puzzle.

Structures are placed on the pixel level and not on a grid. Items can be picked up and dropped off anywhere on screen and structures and characters can be interacted with anywhere on screen.

The game includes a recipe book which you can use to figure out recipes for items (you can use tab to open it). The recipe book also provides help with controls (? button on item list page).

Additional help with controls and mechanics can be found when talking to the goddess in game (right click to speak to characters).

After completing the game, you unlock a second goddess which is the hard mode of the game.

Tips and tricks

The game can be kinda janky and fiddly at times, and I may not be able to actively update it, so here are some useful tips instead (I promise the game makes sense once you get the hang of it):

There are 15 basic resources: 8 different crops, 4 different ores, milk from cowgirls, honey from bees, and jelly from queen bees. The crops are found growing in oases scattered across the map. The oasis grows a random crop every time it is harvested. The ores can be mined from ore veins. The milk can be milked from a cowgirl who has been fed enough to produce milk. Honey and jelly can be gathered from bees and queen bees by placing a hexagon mold in front of them. Everything else is made from these materials.

You can hold space when placing a structure to make it snap right next to another structure that is close by.

You can hold Q to make structures transparent so that you can work behind them easier.

It could happen that you drop an item behind a structure where you can't see it. If that happens, the item is just behind the structure, so it is possible to pick it back up.

Funnels are used to funnel out of and into buildings. To work they need to be right up against the building, to where their hitboxes touch. Funnels can also funnel items from the ground and onto the ground. Funnels cannot funnel items directly into other funnels.

Conveyor belts need to have their hitboxes touching for items to move from one to the next. Conveyor belts can be scaled using control left/right click.

Here are some useful setups to get you started

The logic gates source positions are set to be on the output conveyor belt, so they open when an item is outputted. The waste bins are there to prevent clogging in case the chest fills up.

Fullscreen mode can be toggled with alt + enter or in the settings menu.

Do make sure to back up your worlds using the copy function in the savefile select screen. There shouldn't be any major problems with the savefile system, but I cannot guarantee that it will always function correctly. I have had instances of savefile corruption a while back in development, which should be fixed, but better safe than sorry. The game data location is "%localappdata%/gain_factory_reloaded_", in case you want to clean up after the game or you want to modify a savefile.

The game data location for gain factory classic is still "%localappdata%/gain_factory".

You can find the language folder for the game at "%localappdata%/gain_factory_reloaded_/language". To change the language of the game, simply place a .lang file inside the folder called "active" and restart. The game auto generates the english language file upon startup if the active folder is empty. This file can be used as a template for when translating the game. The game includes cyrillic characters in the font.

If any major game breaking stuff is found, I will do my best to fix it and release an update.

If the recipe of an item in the recipe book doesn't match the actual recipe in game, please let me know so that I can fix.

If you want to share the game with people, the best way to do so is to send them the link to the itch.io project, to ensure that they get the most up to date version and information.

I cannot stop people from uploading the game to other websites, but I would at least request that credit is given and that the link to this page follows. If the game is reuploaded it could contain malware and I don't want that.

You can toggle cheat mode by pressing c + h + e + a + t in quick succession on the keyboard, pressing t last, basically spelling out cheat on the keyboard. Upon activating cheat mode, all items in the recipe book will be unlocked. In cheat mode, placing structures won’t use up items. Use the up and down arrows to change the id of the item you’re holding (hold shift to do so by 10). Use the left and right arrows to change the count of the item you’re holding (hold shift to do so by 10). You can also shift click on items in the recipe book to pick them out.

Anyway, enjoy the game! (and the gain)
