What is Alchemy Factory?

Alchemy Factory is a medieval automation game by the three-person studio D5 Copperhead, published by Gamirror Games. It launched in Early Access on 12 December 2025, sold 200,000 copies in nine months, and left Early Access as Version 1.0 on 8 September 2026. You run an alchemist's shop: buy plots, lay conveyor belts and pipes, stack crucibles on furnaces, and work up from mortars and healing potions to seven relics named after the planets. This wiki covers the heat and fuel system, every device the patch notes have named, all 55 achievements with their unlock rates, the full version history, and guides for the things launch-week players asked about most: the 1.0 changes, Shop Recognition and multiplayer.

Alchemy Factory Screenshots

A wooden barrel with a brass tap pouring purple liquid into tankards on a market table
The Brew Barrel, new in 1.0, fills tankards with beverages, the first new goods category since Early Access.
A stone portal arch glowing purple on a rooftop terrace above red-tiled medieval houses
The Grand Portal on a shop rooftop: customers from distant cities arrive through it, and building a second one adds no traffic.
Rows of nursery planters with glowing yellow plants and green herbs on a factory floor, belts of fertiliser beside them
Nurseries growing herbs for cauldron recipes. Nurseries eat fertiliser but ignore the Factory Efficiency skill, which is why cauldron ratios break when only one is upgraded.
First-person view of a shop counter with a cannon, coin belts and NPC customers in medieval dress walking in
A ground-floor shop with cannons restocking shelves and coin belts leaving the counter. Since 1.0 customers can also walk to upper floors.
A multi-storey factory interior packed with conveyor belts, grinders and a glowing triangular relic on a pedestal
A late-game floor with a relic on its pedestal. Relics are both the top-priced shop item and the currency the Knowledge Altar turns into skill points.

FIRST FURNACE

Get Started in 5 Steps

  1. Finish the tutorial and turn in 20 large gears. That unlocks tier 2, flax seed and limestone; the beginner guide covers the first two days.
  2. Rush 100 Healing Potions. The reward is 18,000 copper plus Portal Sigils and the Automatic Cashier, the upgrade that ends manual checkouts.
  3. Build a Bank Portal and a coin belt. 1 gold = 100 silver = 100,000 copper; every floor should carry money, fertiliser and fuel lines. See money and income.
  4. Buy Shop Recognition licences. Since 1.0 the shopkeeper in the middle of town sells them, and without them diamonds and relics do not sell: how it works.
  5. Sort out fuel before tier 5. Coal ore into a stone crusher is the cheap coke powder route; the fuel page has the P values to size each furnace.

FAQ

What is Alchemy Factory?

Alchemy Factory is a medieval automation game by the three-person studio D5 Copperhead, published by Gamirror Games. You run an alchemist's shop: buy plots of land, build conveyor belts, furnaces, cauldrons and portals to automate production, then sell potions, jewellery and seven relics to customers or fulfil dispatch contracts. It launched in Early Access on 12 December 2025 and reached version 1.0 on 8 September 2026.

Was Alchemy Factory removed from Steam?

Yes, briefly. On 13 December 2025 players noticed a background track resembled music from RuneScape. The developers removed the third-party track that evening, but a DMCA notice from Jagex reached Valve while the team was firefighting the v0.4.1 crash bug, and the game was delisted on 23 December. It was relisted on 30 December 2025, and owners could keep playing throughout. The replaced score now includes a theme by Witcher 3 composer Mikolai Stroinski.

Is it Alchemy Factory or Alchemist Factory?

Alchemy Factory. Guides and even the game's own fans say 'Alchemist Factory' out loud, and 'alchemy factorio' turns up in search too, but the Steam listing is Alchemy Factory, app 3669570. It is also not Liz and Rose's Alchemy Factory, a different game that shares two words of the name.
