Automation Empire is a simulation / management game all about efficiency and expansion. Start with nothing, and build up a massive interconnected industrial network of factories and machines. Economical transportation of resources will be essential to your success as an automation-engineer. Utilize every tool you have access to, including mine carts, drones. trucks, trains, and cargo rockets. Employ your ingenuity and creativity to plan out an efficient logistics network of machines to form a mechanical superorganism of production.

DESIGN COMPLEX SYSTEMS


Harness your creativity to engineer a beautiful machine of clockwork precision. Start with basic "A to B" systems utilizing simple delivery drones, but later, expand the complexity of your transportation-line as you construct an interwoven mesh of tracks in order to allocate all of your resources exactly where they need to go.

Automation empire is a factory game which basically is all about making as much money as you can aswell as getting as much weight shipped away as you can. This makes for very fun game where you only expand, never the other way around. Something that I like about automation empire is that it isn't that punishing to the player. you can basically be hit in the head with a frying pan and still be able to play this. A core mechanic in the game are the extensive minecart railroads you can make to transport all of your items. although i dont like that there aren't any other alternatives than using a furnice minecart or powered rails to get it moving. Another more late game mechanic you can exploit is the monorail. it is basically the minecart but with even more transporting power. comparing the minecart and monorail is basically couthing baby with the P1000 ratte tank that the germans wanted to use during the second iteration of the world war. another think (i spelled thing worng D:) is the fact that there exists oil in the game. this has the unfortunate side effect of bringing the united states of muricah (USM) to try robbing all of the oil in a totally leagal and non illegal process.…
