Factoriax: A GPU-Accelerated Factorio-Style Simulator for Reinforcement Learning

Excerpt

arXiv:2610.05569v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We introduce Factoriax, a GPU-accelerated factory-building simulator written in JAX. In Factoriax, an agent must collect resources, build machines using those resources, and then automate the collection and crafting process by arranging machines on the map to build production pipelines. This paper discusses the structure of the Factoriax simulator and an initial benchmark called Easy Rocket in which an agent is tasked with building a resource-inten
