Idle factory and mining games

This cluster consists of idle tycoon and simulation games focused on building and automating factories, mines, casinos, and other businesses, with mechanics like hiring managers, upgrading facilities, and offline earnings. The dated entries show a steady spread from July 2016 to February 2025, with the largest single month being September 2020 which saw two entries. Traction leaders, all at zero stars, include Idle Lumber Empire - Wood Game, automation-foreman, and joyful-build-factory.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
