Bug fixed.
New features added.
"More than arcade! More than Tycoon!"
Steel Mill Manager is a refreshing take on the 'Idle Tycoon' genre, moving away from simple clickers and offering more granular control. You aren't just watching numbers go up; you're managing complex production lines—from degassing and forming to cold rolling. The level of customization is impressive, giving you full control over faculty assignments and facility expansions.
The game strikes a great balance between 'arcade' and 'tycoon.' While it has the accessibility of a casual game, the management of employee satisfaction (tea rooms, snack areas) adds a layer of depth that keeps the simulation interesting. The graphics are clean and the UI is easy to navigate. It’s a solid choice for management fans who want something more substantial than a standard idle game without getting bogged down in spreadsheet-level complexity.

This is a fun game. I like this type of game, and of the ones I’ve played, I like this one the best. However, there is a BIG bug that gets really annoying. I’ll play for a bit, upgrade as much as much as I can afford, etc., then switch over to other games for a while, and when I come back to this one after about 20 or 30 minutes, my factory has made ZERO money, ZERO progress. If I leave for several hours, or overnight, I get a window when I come back where I can see my offline earnings. Also mildly annoying is the music. It doesn’t really loop well.
So at a certain point of progress in the game there is an task in multiple factories to upgrade scrap truck 4 to level 3. There’s 4 slots for trucks, but only 3 trucks to unlock. Wish that would get fixed.
Stop shoving tutorial down my throat and let me play the game. Stop forcing me to hire workers. Stop forcing me to manually drive truck after hiring a worker to drive the truck. Stop with the annoying blinking hand trying to get me to follow quest guide. Stop forcing me to hire a manager. Stop forcing me to activate manager. Stop forcing me to manually collect trash to unlock game features. Stop forcing me to do research. Stop forcing me to go to events. Stop forcing me to claim rewards. Stop forcing me to claim training manual. Stop forcing me to ho to the stupid space plant and going through long winded explanation of it and forcing me yo upgrade it. How do I destroy the stupid space plant you shoved down my throat?
During event, you are given 3 objectives to complete at a time but some cannot be completed. For instance, one objective is “ upgrade any facility “ . But you can’t upgrade it when all the facilities are fully upgraded already. So that objective is impossible to complete and you can get that same one for 2 or even all 3 objectives. Which means there is no way to improve your position in the event. Once all the facilities are fully upgraded, that objective should disappear from list of objectives. And this is just one issue of a few that we have.
It’s a good overall game but someone really needs to look at the timing of things being made cause it produced all the watches in the space event all at once and the robot crane can only pick one at a time this is on iPhone 12 please fix it would make the game much better either to be able to pick up more then one or fix the timing it’s made and not all of them come at one time
I was really enjoying the game until the update. I hate that the production rooms lose power. If a worker is mad they leave the floor and go to the break room. The upgrade tree now has four different tiers to upgrade. The best part about the game before the update was how fun and simple it was to play. So unfortunately with the update and the path the game is going down I am deleting it. Thanks for the fun I had before the changes.
I really wish I wasn’t having my hand held so much. The tutorial is too long and I feel like its just. Meh. I’m sitting here waiting and waiting just so I can see what I already know. I know how to read😂 and I hate that I have to sit there and watch an employee or item just go down the belt. I closed the app just so I could skip the tutorial
I played this game and most of the time the game was glitching and wouldn’t have the workers on the table cutting the steel or the forklifts wouldn’t take the steel to the destination where it’s supposed to go. I had to restart the game over and over for it to work right.
