The "Rus Against Lizards" Authors Announced a Strategy in the Spirit of Factorio Called "Murzavod"

Work on the project has been ongoing for more than six months, and its release will take place on PC.

The Russian indie studio "Smola" (aka theBratans) has announced a management strategy called "Murzavod." According to the developers, the project combines Factorio, Two Point Hospital, The Sims, and Overcooked, but with an emphasis on comedic elements and the lively behavior of animals.

Players will have to build and upgrade factories, configure production chains, and effectively use limited space. Each enterprise launch requires careful planning and quick decision-making.

Special attention will have to be paid to the workers themselves: cats behave naturally — they get distracted, play, steal food from the conveyors, and conflict with each other. They need to be controlled, tasks need to be assigned, and chaos at the production needs to be prevented. In addition, the pets have their own needs: mood, working conditions, and "salary" directly affect the stability of the factory. Dissatisfied employees are capable of staging a real riot.
