Indie strategy game Smart Factory Tycoon is free to claim permanently on Steam until January 20, 2026, offering a streamlined factory management experience focused on robotic toy production.
Turquoise Revival Games' Smart Factory Tycoon (2022) is currently available as a permanent free addition to Steam libraries through January 20, 2026, at 10:00 AM PT / 1:00 PM ET. Normally priced at $14.99, this promotional offer coincides with a publisher sale from GrabTheGames.
The simulation game emphasizes efficient floor planning in confined warehouse spaces, where players design robotic production lines for toy manufacturing. Unlike sprawling factory builders, gameplay centers on:
- Precision layout design for assembly stations
- Robot workforce management including charging and lubrication systems
- Market-driven production with contracts ranging from plastic ducks to drum sets
- Financial balancing to avoid $5,000 bankruptcy threshold
Current Steam reviews show a Mixed rating (68% positive). Players praise the satisfying visual of robots navigating optimized production lines and achievable progression system (54 Steam achievements in ~11 hours). Critical feedback notes repetitive interface interactions and pacing that feels slow even at maximum 10x speed acceleration.
Technical requirements remain minimal at just 500MB storage space, making it accessible for most modern laptops and Steam Deck devices. The developer maintains consistent update support with regular patches addressing gameplay issues.
This free claim period ends January 20. Post-deadline, the game reverts to its standard $14.99 price point. Note: Trading card drops aren't available during the free claim period.
