Factorio style template
Factorio (Wube Software, 2020) is about building a factory that builds itself: mine, belt, assemble, then automate the automation.

What makes Factorio distinctive
Its logistics puzzles grow with the factory, and the answer is always a bigger one.
What the template starts with
The Factorio style template starts with one ore patch, one drill, a belt and one assembler.
This is filed beside 4X and it does not play like one. Factorio (Wube Software, 2020) has no settler and no border. It has ore, a drill, a belt, an assembler, and a factory that should eventually build its own parts. 2D, one patch. If you are managing a rival empire, walk back to the Civilization style.
What to change first
Automate the thing that automates the belt before you add a second ore. If your hand is still feeding the machine, you have a crafting bench. The AI tycoon game maker is the nearest page, and it assumes guests. You have none. The belt is the guest.
