About this game

You are responsible for colonising uninhabited planets. Start from nothing and harness natural resources to build a robot empire that can be taught anything. Automation is the name of the game - progress through the technological ages, automate life itself and achieve absolute autonomy!

Pros & Cons

Pros

Visual programming is approachable without traditional coding.
Flexible production chains allow different levels of automation.
Progresses from basic tasks to advanced automated systems.
Low-pressure colony building leaves room for experimentation.
Colorful art, cheerful tone, and expressive robots.

Cons

Manual harvesting and repeated processing continue before effective automation.
Managing large numbers of robots becomes cumbersome.
Interacting robot routines can be difficult to troubleshoot.
Early progression requires many basic tasks before automation helps.

Pros & Cons are AI-assisted summaries, not our own playthrough reviews. Sources and how we make recommendations.
