If you’ve never played a management game where your main goal is to automate everything, then Alchemy Factory is a great one to start with. This game starts you out with very few recipes, and it also lets you go at your own pace since you can close your shop at any point without any problem, except for the fact that you won’t be earning money.
As you level up, the game slowly introduces more recipes and also lets you upgrade various skills. While there are a ton of different skills you can upgrade, only a few of them give you a ton of value. Thankfully, these skills are easy to identify and you can focus all your upgrades on them to have an easier endgame.
Best Skills In Alchemy Factory
When you’re looking at the skill tree in Alchemy Factory, you can hover over them to see what effect you’ll get if you activate them. There are a total of ten skills that you can consistently upgrade as you level up, but here are a few that stand out the most:
|
Priority Rank |
Skill Name |
Best Time To Upgrade |
Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
|
1 |
Factory Efficiency |
Early Game |
This skill makes your device production faster while also increasing the fuel they consume. Recipes start taking quite a lot of crafting time from level three itself. Hence, having a few upgrades in this will help you craft these items in time to sell them properly. |
|
2 |
Fuel Efficiency |
Early Game |
This skill goes along with the first one as it increases your fuel efficiency, so you won’t have to spend quite as many planks or charcoal, saving you money in the long run. |
|
3 |
Customer Management |
Early Game |
Quests will be your main way of getting money during the early game as the items you sell in the shop don’t cost a lot. Hence, increasing the rewards you get from quests can be a massive help. |
|
4 |
Logistic Efficiency |
Until level three |
This skill also ties into the first two to help you craft items faster, though it’s not needed everywhere, making it a bit of a lesser priority. |
|
5 |
Alchemy Skill |
After level four |
You start unlocking alchemy recipes from level four and beyond, and this skill can help you process these items much faster. |
|
6 |
Fertilizer Efficiency |
After level four |
Reaching level four unlocks the Nursery, which helps you automate farming with the help of fertilizer. Getting more value from this fertilizer can be quite useful here. |
|
7 |
Negotiation Skill |
Late Game |
As you unlock and start selling more items at your shop, the customers and money you gain will increase massively. This is where upgrading your Negotiation Skill can be highly useful. |

How To Upgrade Skills
To upgrade different skills in Alchemy Factory, you first have to level up, which can be done by completing the main quests. Each main quest requires you to provide a few items from your current level, and once you’ve given them, you gain another level, giving you some skill points and a whole new tier of research.
After getting these skill points, you can open your skill tree by pressing the Z button on your keyboard (default controls), which you can also see on the bottom right of your screen. Once in this menu, you can click on the Upgrade option on the left, which takes you to the skill tree. Here, you can select the skills you want to unlock and then click confirm.
