1. Install and sign up
Get Industry GO for free from Google Play or the App Store, create an account and allow location access. Location is the core of the game: resources, building spots and distances are tied to your real surroundings.
2. Open the map and find resources
After launching you'll see the map of your area. Enable the resource heatmap to see where raw materials like clay, iron, coal or oil are located. The stronger a field is colored, the better the deposit and its quality.
3. Build your first mine
Pick a strong resource field and build your first mine there. Quality, mine level, power supply and bonuses determine its ongoing output. Distance is checked for location-based building and gameplay actions, but does not reduce the mine's yield. The mine keeps working while the app is closed.
4. Connect power
Mines and factories need energy. Build a power plant so your operations run at full capacity. Without power, your industry only runs at reduced output – expanding your energy supply is one of the most important early investments.
5. Factories and production chains
In factories, you process resources into bricks, steel, cables, machines, electronics and even helicopters. Whether a production chain is profitable depends on input amounts, duration and current market prices – a longer chain is not automatically more profitable.
6. Sell on the market
Market prices react to market activity and the game's economic rules. Sell surplus directly, fulfil other players' buy requests and follow the rates – you can check the current market prices right here on the website at any time.
7. Keep growing
With your first income you expand: more mines, bigger storage, new factories and fields for farming. All fields have the same quality; product choice, irrigation, power and optional fertiliser determine the yield. Quests and achievements give you goals, alliances enable shared projects, and the rankings show how you compare with other players.
You can manage existing production, storage and the market comfortably from home. Industry GO uses your location for new sites and certain actions; depending on distance, you may need to be nearby or confirm a remote action.
