Supply Chain Idle tasks you with building and connecting factories to produce goods, then optimizing product ratios and supply chains to keep everything flowing. The core challenge revolves around rebalancing production links whenever you upgrade facilities, with dozens of products to unlock as you progress. Best suited for players who enjoy systems-focused idle mechanics over active clicking, though potential save issues warrant caution.

Nice idle game. It is mostly about efficient ratios and not actual layouts (unless you upgrade production speed to very fast times and traffic jams appear). You setup some products and then link them so that all productions and sellers are green, then you upgrade something, ratios change and you have to relink everything again to be efficient.
A ton of products to discover. Later you even get very complex product chains that will require changing setup in the middle of production cycle because full chain can't be efficiently fitted in the accessable area. After getting few upgrades it starts to fit just fine. A second town in unlocked later with different products to keep the game fresh.
I think it's a little too fundamental, there isn't anyway to lose your money at all (from what I've seen so far) The part I like the most is probably how this game is actually an IDLE game, not clicking bs.
I have an untold amount of hours on this on Kongregate, didn't realize it was on Steam. I will gladly add it to my collection here.
It is an idle so you have some freedom to walk away and go to work, but the game is fairly well balanced. Typically I only have to be tabbed to something else for 5-10 minutes and as long as my supply chain is optimized, I can typically find something to upgrade or switch up. It does a good job keeping your attention at times.
Later on it almost becomes a simple puzzle game, as certain products require multiple others to feed into them before they start producing. You begin the game by matching every product with a store, but later on you might only be working with one or two stores with every other slot dedicated to a complex product. It's a lot of fun to play around with the best layout.
My only wish is a sort of potential prestige idea; Give us larger maps to play around with. We could definetly survive with a smaller UI and icons to deal. Especially as a fullscreen Steam game, there's plenty of space to take advantage of. Prestige/Soft Reset or at the very least, an obscenely expensive upgrade to add extra plots. I think that'd be fun. (If that exists already, then I'll remove this part).
