Description

Supplied by the Steam store

Node Factory Build. Automate. Scale.

You are a Digital Architect. Start with a single internet connection and a power supply then build the most advanced AI processing grid the world has ever seen.

Design node networks that harvest raw data, refine it through layers of processing, and sell the output for profit. Every wire you draw, every node you place, every upgrade you buy moves you one step closer to the ultimate goal: deploying a true Artificial General Intelligence.

But raw power isn't enough. Push your nodes too hard and heat builds up — slowing production across your entire grid. Managing your thermal output is just as critical as managing your data flow.

Node Factory runs as a transparent overlay, sitting quietly on top of your screen while you work, code, or watch videos. No alt-tab. No interruptions. Your pipeline runs whether you're watching it or not.

Drag connections between nodes to build real data pipelines. Route raw internet traffic into harvesters, harvesters into filters, filters into tokenizers, tokenizers into AI models and watch the money flow in real time. Every node in the chain matters. A bottleneck anywhere breaks everything.

True efficiency requires strategy. High-tier AI nodes consume massive amounts of power and generate dangerous levels of heat. Build cooling systems, upgrade your power grid, and carefully balance your inputs and outputs to keep your factory running at maximum capacity without bottlenecking.

Free-form node canvas — Place and wire nodes however you want. No grids. No fixed layouts.

Desktop overlay mode — Your factory lives on your screen. Optimize while you do anything else.

Deep progression chain — From raw data to text, images, audio, video — then tokens, logic, alignment, and finally AGI.

Model Lab — Develop and deploy AI models that generate passive Research, which unlocks entire new tiers of technology.

Thermal Management — Every node generates heat. Let it build up and your production slows to a crawl. Place fans, upgrade your cooling systems, and design your grid layout with heat flow in mind or watch your empire throttle itself.

Skill Tree — Dozens of upgrades that compound. Speed, efficiency, market value, automation.

True idle — Build the right pipeline once. Let it run forever.

Prestige system — Reset for a permanent multiplier and rebuild faster every time.
