Production Line
The pitch
A car manufacturing sim about assembly stations, factory floor layout, bottlenecks, research, pricing, and steady vehicle throughput.
How it plays
Production Line is a focused factory management game for players who like diagnosing bottlenecks. Cars move through a sequence of manufacturing stations, and every added feature - doors, paint, electronics, safety systems, engines, luxury trim - changes the flow of the plant. Success comes from balancing station speed, staff, research, pricing, demand, imports, exports, and floor space so unfinished vehicles do not pile up in the wrong place. It is more businesslike than most belt games, but the core satisfaction is pure automation: finding the slow step, duplicating capacity, and watching a cleaner line start moving again.
