4''The Factoree'' is an IdleGame made in UsefulNotes/TheModdingTree by Dystopia-user181 and released in 2020. As the title suggests, it has you use extractors to gain ores, then you get furnaces to turns ores into metals, and then there are other constructions (including the titular Factories). The main draws of the game include its critique towards industrialism (nothing major, but still) and its unique graphical style that uses more rectangular buttons and a different font.

26* ResetMilestones: The Extractor layer has milestones that unlock furnaces and furnace upgrades, Furnaces unlock extractor upgrades, Monopoly power has six milestones that keep things like upgrades and grants 10% of monopoly power per second, and the milestone for 8 power stations autobuys them.
27* ShoutOut:
28** The upgrade that makes oil burning always active and improves its effects is called ''VideoGame/TheBurningTree''.
29** The upgrade that provides an extractor gain percentage based on active furnaces is called "181", which references Time Study 181 that provides 100% Infinity Points per second from ''VideoGame/AntimatterDimensions''.
30** The upgrade that Synergism makes Heat boost burning waste generation and burning waste boost embers is called ''VideoGame/{{Synergism}}''.
31* SkillPointReset: You can reset Factories at any time as buying one increases the prices of others, but this causes a Manufacturer reset. The ability gets removed once you have the Monopoly Over Land upgrade that removes the price increases.
32* ToxicInc: Your factory starts to use oil, plastic, and other environmentally unhealthy materials to help extract more ores. The Monopoly layer even has a Pollutions tab where you make waste and greenhouse gas to further improve production.
