About the game
An automation simulation where you play an engineer stranded on an alien planet, mining ore and building a giant factory with conveyor belts and machines. The core is handing off tasks you used to do by hand to machines one by one, increasing output as you go. As your factory grows, so does the puzzle-like fun of finding and fixing bottlenecks. Multiplayer with friends is supported too.
Why we recommend it
The thrill of automating everything from mining to production lines is overwhelming, so 'just one more' never stops.
Good for — Great for: anyone who enjoys building systems while thinking about efficiency and optimization
