Another Game About Automation

This game is a PERFECT intro to Automation games as well as a fine automation game of it's own. Not as big and fancy as FOUNDRY or Satisfactory, but it does an outstanding job of training the player which should make it very accessible to players new to the genre and yet, is a solid game on it's own. Also, the Save and Load for the tiles... PERFECTLY implemented! I hope you sell a million copies!

This is honestly one of the cleanest automation games out there. I have played a lot of games in this genre, and a surprising number of them suffer from terrible, clunky mechanics that just get in the way. This game entirely avoids that issue by making the controls remarkably intuitive. It is very simple to select, place, rotate, copy, paste, duplicate, and delete your components, which makes the whole building experience feel great. The only downside I want to mention is a minor quirk with the math logic. When you are setting up subtraction operations, the game requires you to put the highest number on the right side instead of the left. It feels a bit backward compared to how you would normally write out an equation, but once you get used to it, the rest of the process is exceptionally smooth and satisfying.

Definitely a great variation of the "manufacturing" genre, half-way between Shapez and the algorythm of Human ressource Machine. The animations are minimal but non-essential to spend a good time. All the path leads to Rome... and many paths lead to the correct number !

Needs more balance but fun:3 Broadcasters are too op, maybe if you could use them just to the base generated numbers would be good.

This gets a pass because it's cheap, but it's not very good. As other reviewers have noted: 1. It severely lacks polish - one save slot - belts sometimes won't connect when they should - I couldn't work out how to move around the map before I went into the settings and found the mouse-navigate option - There's a button top-left of the screen that I have NO IDEA what it does, and I've 100%'d the game - I thought the master-architect achievement was bugged, but it's actually mis-described: you have to have a lot of buildings on the map at once, not have built that many throughout your playthrough 2. It desperately needs something like different game modes to add challenge & liven things up. This could be: - restricted space (I'm sure you can solve most numbers < 2000 in a 6X6 grid). - restricted number-generators (like only one of each & only one splitter, or big numbers only) - a throughput challenge with no broadcasters and either slow addition or slow multiplication so there's a reason to try division, powers, or modulo. As it stands, it's very easy to multiply up to something near the target then +/- 1 or 2 and you're there. Rinse and rep…

Not Recommended with a caveat. It's a fun game until about level 20-25. After that there are Zero unlocks. I completed all tasks easily as well as up to Level 50, and one of the reasons I went to Level 50 was to finish the Achievements. It was extremely boring from Level 25 until 50. The game gives you Boolean Logic Tools with ZERO reason to use them. Cool, logic gates that spit out 1's and 0's. Why would I need those? Giving me these tools, I thought there would be a reason to need to use them, which is another reason I pressed on to Level 50. I wish it was longer, and it has so much potential to be better. Anyway, I would only recommend this game if it was on sale. It's sitting at $6.99 at the time of this review.
