Humble Bundle: The Factory Must Grow: 8 Games From $6 (Ends Nov 5)
Humble just launched The Factory Must Grow, a bundle of eight factory-building and automation games on Steam, starting at $6. It runs until midnight ET going into Thursday, November 5, and part of every purchase goes to the Tom Deierlein Foundation.
The $6 tier gets you five games, including shapez and Nova Lands. The $12 tier adds Eden Crafters, Oddsparks: An Automation Adventure and Blossom: The Seed of Life.
The Scroll in Brief
- $6 gets 5 games; $12 gets all 8. Steam keys, and the bundle ends at midnight ET into Thu, Nov 5.
- Standouts: shapez (Overwhelmingly Positive, 96% of about 16,000), Nova Lands, Eden Crafters and Oddsparks.
- shapez is $9.99 on Steam, so the $6 tier is a bargain on that game alone.
- Part of every purchase supports the Tom Deierlein Foundation.

Standouts
We picked four games we could verify on Steam. Steam prices and reviews are as of October 14, 2026, at time of posting.
shapez ($6 tier)
shapez is an easy-going, minimalistic factory-building game about automating shapes: you extract them, build production lines and grow your factory across an infinitely expanding map, adapting to increasingly complex shapes as you go.
Best for: Newcomers to factory games who like clean, puzzle-like logistics.
Gary’s take: Get the bundle. It is Overwhelmingly Positive on Steam (96% of about 16,000 reviews) at time of posting. Steam lists it at $9.99, which is more than the $6 starter tier.
Nova Lands ($6 tier)
Nova Lands is a factory-building, exploration and island-management game. You explore, fight and automate your industry on a planet full of mysteries, creatures and people.
Best for: Players who want automation mixed with exploration and a bit of combat.
Gary’s take: Get the bundle. Steam has it at $8.99 right now (55% off) and reviews are Very Positive (89% of about 3,560) at time of posting, so it is another game that covers most of the $6 tier by itself.
Eden Crafters ($12 tier)
Eden Crafters is a factory and base-building game from Osaris Games, and one of the games that only comes with the $12 tier.
Best for: Builders who want a second big factory game after the starter tier.
Gary’s take: Worth the step up on its own. Steam lists it at $19.99 and reviews are Very Positive (85% of about 2,720) at time of posting.
Oddsparks: An Automation Adventure ($12 tier)
Oddsparks: An Automation Adventure is an automation game from Massive Miniteam, published by HandyGames. It comes with the $12 tier.
Best for: Automation fans who want an adventure framing around their factory.
Gary’s take: A strong reason to pay $12. Steam lists it at $29.99 and reviews are Very Positive (83% of about 2,300) at time of posting, so it alone is worth more than the whole top tier.
Gary’s Call
Buy the $6 tier if shapez or Nova Lands appeals: together they list for about $19 on Steam. Step up to $12 if you want Eden Crafters or Oddsparks, since Oddsparks alone is $29.99. If you already own shapez and Nova Lands, the $12 tier is still the one to look at.
