The Factoree is an Idle Game made in The Modding Tree 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.

This game provides examples of:
- A.I.-Generated Economy: Starting from the Manufacturer layer, you start getting milestones that automatically claim resets for certain resources and purchase buyables.
- Cap:
- The 181 upgrade effect is capped at 100,000%.
- You can initially have only 1000 Furnaces at once. Factory 1 increases the cap.
- Plastic structures are capped at 20 because of government protection. One-time Research 2 lifts the cap.
- Researches are capped at 50 for balancing.
- Challenge Run: The Monopoly layer has the Competitors tab where different factories put lawsuits or otherwise compete with your company. Each challenge has you reach an ore quota with some restriction (no embers, no furnaces, limited factories, etc.).
- Color-Coded for Your Convenience: Each layer has its own color.
- Extractor: Dark lilac
- Furnace: Dark gray
- Manufacturer: Maroon
- Plastic: Gray
- Monopoly: Aquamarine
- Power station: Yellow
- Research: Blue
- Export Save: You can press a button to export the 6KB+ save file and another to export it back into the game.
- Pun-Based Title: Based on "the factory" and "tree".
- Reset Milestones: 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.
- Shout-Out:
- The upgrade that makes oil burning always active and improves its effects is called The Burning Tree.
- 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 Antimatter Dimensions.
- The upgrade that Synergism makes Heat boost burning waste generation and burning waste boost embers is called Synergism.
- Skill Point Reset: 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.
- Toxic, Inc.: 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.
