Sidon Labs

From game simulations to real-world planning

Sidon Labs is where new ideas are tested: small experiments, internal tools and prototypes that may grow into full applications. Some are playful, some are serious, all of them help shape the wider Sidon ecosystem.

This is an early overview of Sidon Labs. Details and screenshots will expand as prototypes move into public-facing tools.

Bridging game tools and real work

A lot of real-world planning software is heavy, cluttered, or locked behind training. Game tools, on the other hand, often feel playful, visual, and forgiving. Sidon Labs aims to carry the best of both worlds forward.

Game Edition — planning for players

Lightweight tools that sit alongside your favourite games, helping you design factories, layouts, or worlds before you commit resources in-game.

Visual planning Sandbox-friendly Browser-based

Real-World Edition — planning for teams

Focused applications that reuse the same ideas for warehouses, workshops, archives, or personal logistics. Clear UI, explainable logic, no black boxes.

Key Sidon Labs projects

These tools are in various stages of development. Some are already usable as internal prototypes; others are still in the design phase.

Factory Builder — Game Edition
Plan factories for games like Satisfactory or other automation titles: visual lines, splitters, mergers, and ratios that make sense at a glance.

Integration with GAC Studio Plus
Where it makes sense, Sidon Labs tools feed back into GAC Studio Plus and other Sidon Studios applications, sharing data and workflows.

Future Lab tools
Experiments around logistics, scheduling, and analysis that may grow into their own products or stay as internal helpers.

Where Sidon Labs is heading

In the near term, Sidon Labs is focused on solid prototypes and internal use, making sure the tools feel reliable, explainable, and enjoyable to work with.

As the wider Sidon Systems ecosystem grows, selected tools will move into public releases, with clear documentation and ways for early adopters to feed back into the design.
