Description
About This Game
LOGISTICS MEETS PHYSICS
Forget rigid animations and pre-defined paths. In Timberline Factory, every log is a fully physics-based object. They have weight, they roll, and they can cause bottlenecks if your line isn't optimized. Strategically plan your layout on the available slots to master the physical flow of wood, a tactical challenge that rewards precision and clever logistics.
AUTOMATE & GROW
Construct complex sawmill layouts from the ground up. Place conveyors, debarkers, and advanced sawing units. As your factory grows, you’ll unlock automated systems like the Headrig Line and the Boardstacker to turn raw logs into profitable bundles of boards.
THE TIMBER INDEX: A BREATHING MARKET
The economy isn't flat. Master the Timber Index, a dynamic market system with a mean reversion algorithm. Prices for logs, boards, and pellets fluctuate based on market mood and random walks. Will you sell your stock now or wait for the market to bounce back?
MAINTENANCE & CLEANING
Industrial machines are powerful but not indestructible. Sawdust and heavy usage wear down your equipment. Monitor machine dirt levels, manage repair costs, and hire Cleaning Staff to automate maintenance. Invest in Titanium upgrades to minimize downtime and keep the production humming.
THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY
Nothing goes to waste. Use the Biomass Power Plant to turn bark into green energy to lower your operating costs. In the late game, expand into the Pellet Plant, turning sawdust into a highly profitable secondary product. Close the loop and maximize your factory's efficiency.
KEY FEATURES:
Physics-based Logistics: Logs roll and collide - your layout must handle the chaos.
Deep Campaign: Many chapters of milestone-driven progression from first board to pellet empire.
Dynamic Market: Real-time price fluctuations for all wood products.
Complex Production: Automate everything from debarking to kiln-drying and pellet pressing.
Challenge Modifiers: Customize your experience with harder market conditions or strict maintenance.
