Factory Town Idle – Useful Tips for New Players

Gameplay Tips

On any menu like harvesting or Crafting. If you click on the name of the object you are interested in, the left side will show you only the fields involving that one.

For example if I click on planks it will just show wood and planks. If I click on refined planks it will show planks and refined planks. This is very useful if items have multiple parts, and it stops you from having to scroll around an increasing list of objects.

Holding Alt and clicking will add/subtract by increments of 10.

You can click the resource icons to quickly scroll to whatever process is making that item OR click the text in headers to scroll over to the building that makes it.

So with the example above; if you click on the icon of refined planks it will take you to the sawmill (if you have one). This likewise saves you time from trying to find where you make paper in the study (as it’s made in sawmills… or if the good is imported it will take you to the trading post ofc).

Get yourself an auto-clicker program or other macro program to enable your system to click on harvest screen a bunch without actually giving yourself carpal tunnel syndrome. Most ‘fancy’ multi-button mouses (mice?) come with software these days for macros that allow you to set some kind of auto-fire to either an extra button or some kind of keystroke to activate/deactivate rapid clicks wherever your mouse is pointing.

Me personally, I have a mouse with a pair of side buttons, and I have them programmed, one for rapid fire left-click and another for rapid fire right-click that I use for other games that require rapid clicks without giving myself carpal tunnel, which is quite real and quite permanent – no game is worth permanently physically injuring (or risking injury to) yourself for.
