If you’ve never played a management game where your main goal is to automate everything, Alchemy Factory is a great place to start. The game begins with just a few recipes, and it allows you to play at your own pace because you can pause or stop working on your shop whenever you want. The only downside is that if you close your shop, you won’t earn any money until you reopen it.
As you gain levels, the game gradually introduces more recipes and lets you upgrade different skills. There are many skills to choose from, but only a few provide significant benefits. Luckily, these key skills are easy to spot, so you can focus your upgrades on them to make your progress smoother in the late game.
### Best Skills in Alchemy Factory
When you look at the skill tree, hovering over each skill shows what it will do when activated. There are ten skills you can upgrade regularly as you level up, but a few stand out as especially useful:
| Priority Rank | Skill Name | Best Time to Upgrade | Why It’s Important |
|—————–|———————-|—————————|——————————————————————————————————–|
| 1 | Factory Efficiency | Early Game | Improves your device production speed and boosts fuel consumption. Recipes start taking longer from level 3, so upgrading this helps keep your crafting on schedule for selling. |
| 2 | Fuel Efficiency | Early Game | Works with Factory Efficiency, making your fuel last longer, saving money on planks and charcoal. |
| 3 | Customer Management | Early Game | Increases rewards from quests, which is crucial when shop sales don’t bring in much money early on. |
| 4 | Logistic Efficiency | Until Level 3 | Helps craft items faster but isn’t needed everywhere, so it’s a lower priority. |
| 5 | Alchemy Skill | After Level 4 | Unlocks advanced alchemy recipes, improving processing speed for these new crafts. |
| 6 | Fertilizer Efficiency| After Level 4 | Once you reach level 4, the Nursery unlocks, allowing automatic farming with fertilizers. Boosting fertilizer efficiency makes farming more profitable. |
| 7 | Negotiation Skill | Late Game | As your shop expands and you sell more items, increasing sales and customer volume becomes key. Upgrading negotiation makes a big difference here. |
### How to Upgrade Skills
To improve your skills, you need to level up by completing main quests. Each quest requires you to gather specific items from your current level. Once you finish a quest, you level up, earning skill points and unlocking new research tiers.
To access the skill tree, press the Z key (default control), which is also shown on the bottom right of your screen. In the menu, select the “Upgrade” option on the left to open the skills menu. From there, you can choose which skills to unlock and confirm your choices.
