Plan your next Factory Town 2: Paradise session
Our independent guide walks you through Factory Town 2: Paradise’s core systems, helping you observe how each mechanic interacts. By recording simple experiments and comparing outcomes, you can build a well‑balanced town without relying on hidden tricks or undocumented shortcuts.
01 / THE GUIDE
Map initial resource nodes
Locate the first wood, stone, and water sources on the starting island. Sketch a basic layout placing houses near these nodes, then note how villager travel time changes after adding roads.
- Gather a mix of basic resources before committing to a permanent building layout.
- Lay down roads early to keep villagers moving efficiently between structures.
02 / THE GUIDE
Compare belt versus train efficiency
Create a short belt loop and a miniature train route between the same two factories. Record item travel time and space usage, then decide which fits your terrain best.
- Test a short belt loop before committing to a larger train network.
- Use catapults to bridge gaps where building roads or tracks is difficult.
03 / THE GUIDE
Track volcano feeding results
Feed a plentiful item into the volcano each day for a week. Log any new recipes or islands that appear, giving you a sense of the reward frequency.
- Feed items that you produce in surplus to accelerate reward acquisition.
- Monitor the volcano after each feed to notice when new islands appear.
04 / THE GUIDE
Balance water flow and power output
Construct a dam that supplies both a farm and a waterwheel. Observe how water level adjustments affect crop growth and electricity generation, tweaking the dam height for stability.
- Position dams close to natural springs for a steady water supply.
- Connect power lines to powered equipment such as refrigerators and furnaces for reliable operation.
05 / THE GUIDE
Align production with worker stats
List the worker‑boosting stats currently lowest in your town. Produce items that improve those stats, then monitor villager satisfaction to see the impact of your choices.
- Match production to the worker stats that are currently lowest in your town.
- Balance luxury goods with essential supplies to keep both satisfaction and basic needs met.
