Plan your next Tower Factory session
Our independent guide breaks down Tower Factory’s core systems and offers observation‑based exercises. By examining factory layout, tower selection, map scouting, boss preparation, and metaprogression planning, you can refine your approach to each procedurally generated run.
01 / THE GUIDE
Conveyor Layout Test
Create two runs: one with a straight belt chain and another with a looped belt system. Record the time each layout takes to move resources from source to tower stations and note which supports faster expansion.
- Place belts to keep travel distance short between resource sources and tower stations.
- Add early buildings that increase resource generation.
02 / THE GUIDE
Tower Mix Comparison
Build two defensive setups using different combinations of the available towers. Face both daytime and nighttime waves, then compare which mix sustains longer against escalating enemy numbers.
- Build a mix of tower types to handle both early and later waves.
- Upgrade towers when you have enough resources to increase their effectiveness.
03 / THE GUIDE
Fog‑Clearing Priorities
Run one game where you prioritize early fog clearing around the castle, and another where you focus on expanding the factory first. Track how quickly you locate the castle and additional building space in each approach.
- Scout early to locate the enemy castle and plan your defensive perimeter.
- Clear fog around potential building zones to increase expansion options.
04 / THE GUIDE
Boss Preparation Observation
Before each boss encounter, note the set of towers and upgrades you have ready. After the fight, evaluate which preparation reduced damage taken and improved victory speed, then adjust for the next boss.
- Observe each boss’s attack pattern before committing large amounts of resources.
- Ensure you have a variety of upgraded towers ready for a boss encounter.
05 / THE GUIDE
Metaprogression Planning
Map out a sequence of permanent upgrades over several runs, noting how each choice influences resource generation and tower strength in later games. Use the data to prioritize upgrades that give the greatest overall benefit.
- Invest early in upgrades that boost resource collection for faster factory expansion.
- Balance upgrades between offensive and defensive improvements to stay versatile.
