Smokestack Valley: Idle Tycoon

Story
WALK YOUR OWN FACTORY FLOOR Phantom Tycoon is an idle tycoon you walk through. Stroll the line as machines drop, upgrade and ship your products, buy the next machine with a deliberate confirmed purchase - never by accident - and watch a dusty 1890s warehouse grow into a valley of ten factories that ends at a starforge in orbit. A CENTURY OF INDUSTRY Every site is its own era: textile bales, blast-furnace ingots, coil works, motor lines, chip fabs, fusion cells, star alloy. Machines, products and music modernise with the century, and each era is drawn in hand-made pixel art. SELL THE COMPANY. KEEP THE LEGACY. Restructure to sell everything for legacy shares: permanent revenue, perks, and a company ledger that remembers every firm you built and sold. Blueprints from finished sites let the next company open with machines already standing. A CREW WITH FACES Hire Reyes, Hollis, Vance, Sokolov and Lin - the caretakers from the story - and post them to sites. Each one changes how their floor runs: cheaper machines, faster lines, richer contracts, more premium drops. ALWAYS SOMETHING HAPPENING Golden rushes strike the machine next to you.
