Evaluation

Ore Factory Squad launched on July 16, 2026 and has maintained a very active post-launch development pace, with updates shipping nearly every week since release. On July 21, 2026, the developer published a detailed five-phase roadmap of free content updates planned for all owners of the game, targeting Version 2.0: - **Phase 0 – Shifting Gears**: Post-launch quality-of-life improvements, delivered in two parts. Part 1 shipped July 25, 2026; Part 2 shipped August 7, 2026, completing Phase 0. - **Phase 1 – Masters of Oil**: Oil extraction, modular pipe systems, storage tanks, an oil tanker truck, a new desert property, and petrochemical production chains. This phase shipped on September 4, 2026. - **Phase 2 – After Hours**: Dynamic weather, purchasable and customizable homes, vehicle customization, new casino activities (Blackjack, Pachinko), and improved factory management tools. - **Phase 3 – Age of Circuits**: Tech-scrap collection, a new electronics-waste property, radiation zones, protective gear, and advanced high-tech machinery. - **Phase 4 – Frost & Steel**: An arctic-themed property with frozen terrain, heavy industry production, new ores, and interconnected late-game recipes. The developer indicated this phase is targeted around the 2026 holiday season. The developer also stated explicitly that the roadmap is not the end of their plans, with additional content and surprises beyond it intended. Phases 2 through 4 remain unshipped, making a substantial volume of announced content still ahead.

About this game

Ore Factory Squad is a co-op mining and factory-building game with procedural mining and fun at its core! Start from a small warehouse, buy properties, dig deep for resources, process what you extract, and turn it into profit. Expand step by step and turn a simple setup into a fully functioning factory.

Play solo or with up to 4 players, running the entire operation yourself or working together to build it faster!

Procedural Mining at Its Core

Every property features procedurally generated underground resources with no fixed paths, allowing you to dig freely and shape your own tunnels.

Start with a shovel, move on to pickaxes for tougher layers, use jackhammers to speed things up, and clear large sections with dynamite. As you go deeper, resources become more valuable, making each decision more important.

From Warehouse to Industrial Production

Your factory starts with simple machines and basic resources, then expands as you unlock new machines and recipes through progression and licenses.

Handle logistics with pallets and forklifts, connect your machines with conveyor belts to create more efficient production flows, gradually turning your warehouse into a larger and more capable industrial system.

Buy Properties, Dig for Profit

Purchase different types of properties, each featuring randomized resource distribution and profit potential.

From small backyards to big construction sites, forest areas, and large quarries on snowy mountains, each location offers a different environment and opportunities.

Dig, extract, process, and turn every property into profit as you grow into larger and more valuable operations.

Contracts, Sales, and Growth

Take on contracts from companies requesting specific products and quantities, negotiate deals, prepare deliveries, and load trucks to fulfill orders for higher rewards.

Manage your stock, use smart warehouse robots, organize shipments, and balance your growth with fast stock sales.

Tools, Upgrades, and Equipment

Begin with simple tools and unlock and upgrade more powerful mining equipment as you progress.

Upgrade your factory to expand your operation, increase your market reach, take on more contracts, improve negotiation rates, hire and manage workers, and gain licenses that unlock new machines and production lines.

Customize your character with different outfits, faces, gloves, and helmets, and personalize your factory with walls, floors, signs, and decorations.
