Gameplay
Gameplay
Little Big Workshop is a construction and management simulation video game in which the player designs and manages their own factory to produce various goods. The final aim is to create the most successful and efficient factory possible. The player plans products via a blueprint menu where they can designate which processes are placed on what workbenches. This is also where the player has to meet the certain quality levels for products, which may involve using more expensive materials. The player has to manage workers to ensure they do not get overworked by using break rooms. Research and development points can be unlocked by meeting certain goal thresholds. These points can be used to unlock advancements like more materials, better deals with clients, specialist workers which increase efficiency on specific material processes (i.e. wood specialists increase speed of which wood processes occur), and additional tiers of production. The computer-controlled CEO of Nemesis Incorporated will sometimes disrupt the player's production by manipulating the market or dispatching spies.
