My name is Plema Aigami from Plema Crafts, a solo indie game developer based in Japan.
I am writing to share that my factory automation simulation game, F.A.R.M.S.: Chill Factory, is scheduled to launch on Steam on May 22, 2026 at around 8:00 PM JST / 11:00 AM UTC.
F.A.R.M.S.: Chill Factory is a relaxing factory automation sim focused on the visual pleasure of watching tens of thousands of items flow across the screen. Players build production lines with free-form Links, including diagonal connections, then watch their factory expand into a dense, satisfying logistics network.
The game will launch with a 10% release discount for the first week.
US price: $7.99.

Since the public demo released in January 2026, the full version has added several new machines and systems, including:
- Packer
- Unpacker
- Transport Accelerator
- Void Harvesting
- Void Beacon
- Void Turret
New full-version feature: Void Harvesting
Void Harvesting is a new system that turns surplus materials into rare resources.
It adds a light tower-defense-style layer where factory logistics directly support defense.
Players place a Void Beacon, then use Void Turrets to purge the Void that moves toward it.
Void Turrets consume items delivered through Links as ammunition, giving surplus production a new purpose and adding a late-game goal for expanding the factory.
When Void is purified, it drops resources that can be fed back into new production lines.
Other new full-version machines
Packer / Unpacker:
The Packer combines 10 identical items into a single packed item, while the Unpacker restores a packed item back into 10 individual items.
These machines add new logistics options for production lines that handle very large item volumes.
Transport Accelerator:
The Transport Accelerator increases the movement speed of items that pass through its center.
It helps support large-scale factories by making long-distance transport easier to manage.
Key Features
- Large-scale logistics simulation with tens of thousands of visible moving items
- Free-form Link building, including diagonal connections
- A sense of accelerating production growth through the tech tree
- A tower-defense-style system that turns surplus materials into rare resources
- A chill factory-building experience centered on watching huge item flows
