PRODUCTION - The Idle Game

"Build the Ultimate Global Supply Chain Empire."

Production - The Idle Game is an expansive, strategic incremental/idle web game inspired by Capitalism, Factorio-lite, and modern idle tycoon simulators. Take command of a burgeoning enterprise, starting from primary extraction (wheat, timber, iron ore) and scaling into complex, multi-tiered industrial supply chains producing microchips, commercial trucks, consumer smartphones, and corporate office furniture.

The game is packaged as a lightweight, turnkey Docker Compose stack powered by a fast Python FastAPI backend with SQLite persistence and an Nginx reverse-proxy frontend.
