About Expansion Core
Expansion Core is a survival game that focuses on building a group of allies that function as a mobile base. There is a heavy emphasis on inventory management and a constant need to keep moving. Use the unique upgrade system to upgrade both yourself and your allies.
Gameplay
Gather, explore and fight to gain resources. Find relics of both the past and a possible future. Realize that you’ve ran out of inventory space and find a better way to travel.
Allies and Combat
Build multiple tiers of allied bots to help you along in your journey. Activate Beacons and defend against waves of enemies. Spawn massive structures and communicate with the remains of humanity.
HUBs and Research
Use the new found HUB to trade for currency and use it to research new bot types. Each HUB also provides a Core, essentially an artificial brain. Any ally with a Core can be upgraded through the same means as the player.
Upgrades and Progression
Fight a variety of enemies and find relics of the past and use them to upgrade both your allies, and yourself. Go throughout the land and piece together the story of a broken world.

✦ AI summary
Expansion Core is praised by players for its inventive walking factory concept, atmospheric music, and addictive gameplay that keeps players engaged for hours despite an initial learning curve. However, the game lacks polish and can feel chaotic and unpredictable, with some players noting that updates come slowly due to the small development team.
In Expansion Core, the world of factory management meets the chaos of battle in a way you've never seen before. The standout feature of this game is its walking factories, which add a fascinating layer to both the strategic and visual aspects of gameplay. The first thing that grabs your attention are the designs. Each factory is not just a static building but a dynamic, moving entity with legs. This design choice is not just for show; these mobile factories can attack, adding an entirely new dimension to how you plan and execute your strategies. The gameplay revolves around managing these walking factories, ensuring they are not only efficient in production but also capable of defending themselves and launching attacks. This adds a refreshing twist to the typical factory management genre, making every decision feel weighty and impactful. The uniqueness4 found this helpful
> YES JERRY!! I'M TALKING TO YOU FROM THE MIDDLE OF A TORNADO. I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED, I WAS FIGHTING A HUGE BEETLE, AND NEXT THING I KNOW I'M GETTING HIT WITH BOULDERS AND WE'RE ALL IN A 'NADO! - Actually happened I don't know what I was expecting from this game, but so far I'm having a good time. Don't expect polish, but you can expect weird.2 found this helpful

Best game Ive played in a while1 found this helpful
The game is very cool and is constantly evolving. The music is very calm and atmospheric, it fits this game perfectly. I have almost 10 hours of the game behind me and honestly I didn't even notice how quickly the time went by, the game is addictive once you get to know it a little and really enjoyable to play. I personally recommend this game and don't be discouraged by the initial difficulties, the game is really worth spending time on it. Greetings to the creators of the game, cool idea and interesting execution.
Nice and fun game, the updates on the slower side but whit 1 person dev team it's not that bad.
