About Ore Factory Squad ⛏️
Ore Factory Squad is a co‑op mining and factory‑building simulation where players start from a modest warehouse and expand into a full‑scale industrial operation. The game features procedurally generated underground resources, allowing free‑form digging with tools that upgrade from shovels to dynamite.
Players can work solo or with up to four teammates, buying diverse properties, processing extracted ore, fulfilling contracts, and customizing both characters and factories. Progression is driven by unlocking machines, licenses, and upgrades that deepen production chains and increase profit potential.
01 / THE GUIDE
Procedural Mining
Every property contains procedurally generated underground resources, meaning there are no fixed paths and players can shape tunnels as they wish. Starting with a shovel, the toolset expands to pickaxes, jackhammers, and dynamite for faster or larger excavation.
Deeper layers yield more valuable resources, making each digging decision impactful. The fully diggable terrain supports creative layout of shafts, chambers, and transport routes, directly influencing later production efficiency.
- Begin with shallow digs to locate high‑value veins before committing to deep excavation.
- Use jackhammers early to clear bulk material and speed up tunnel expansion.

Factory Progression
The factory starts with simple machines and basic resources, then expands as new machines and recipes are unlocked through progression and licenses. Conveyor belts and warehouse robots link equipment, creating efficient production flows.
Upgrading machines and acquiring licenses unlocks additional production lines, enabling players to transform raw ore into higher‑value products and increase overall profit.
- Prioritize unlocking conveyor belts to streamline material movement.
- Invest in licenses that add high‑margin processing steps.

Property System
Players can purchase different property types—backyards, construction sites, forest areas, and snowy mountain quarries—each with randomized ore distribution and profit potential. The variety of environments offers distinct challenges and resource mixes.
Choosing properties strategically lets players balance easy early gains with later high‑value extraction, shaping the overall growth curve of the operation.
- Select a mix of small and large properties to diversify resource intake.
- Target snowy mountain quarries for deeper, high‑value ore veins.

Contract System
Companies issue contracts requesting specific products and quantities. Players negotiate deals, prepare deliveries, and load trucks to fulfill orders for higher rewards. Managing stock, using warehouse robots, and organizing shipments are key to success.
Balancing contract fulfillment with ongoing production ensures steady cash flow while allowing expansion and equipment upgrades.
- Complete smaller contracts first to build reputation before tackling large orders.
- Use warehouse robots to automate loading and reduce turnaround time.
05 / THE GUIDE
Multiplayer Co‑op
The game supports solo play or cooperative sessions with up to four players, either locally or online. Teams can split tasks such as digging, processing, and logistics to accelerate growth.
Co‑op mode allows players to coordinate equipment upgrades and contract strategies, making large‑scale factories achievable faster than solo play.
- Assign one player to logistics and another to mining for balanced progress.
- Communicate contract deadlines to avoid bottlenecks.
