Teach tiny robots to do your chores

You start with one hungry robot on an icy landing site. Connect visual blocks to tell it what to pick up, what to combine, and where to carry it, then watch it waddle off to do exactly what you said, mistakes included.

That loop is the whole joy: test an idea, spot the bottleneck, rewrite the routine. Soon your CraftoMates harvest materials, craft new robots, and keep themselves fed while you work on the next improvement. Reusable functions, variables, and arrays let one good program become the base for a bigger one.

Push back the ice and green the planet

Everything runs cold here. Your robots need fuel, your base needs heat, so you automate fires, craft tools, and keep warmth flowing while you harvest and combine resources into new recipes.

Plant trees, make oxygen, and slowly turn white ground into somewhere alive. Terraforming sounds like a 9,000-year job, but hired robot labor helps. Procedurally generated frozen planets with different resources, buildings, and volcanoes keep the puzzle fresh, and you can replay a seed or share a favorite with another engineer.

Good to know?

Do you need to know programming first?

No. Everything is built by selecting and connecting visual blocks, so you plan the order of actions rather than writing syntax. Basic logic helps, but experimenting and fixing broken routines teaches the rest. The game introduces ideas through practical jobs, not lectures.

What do your robots actually do?

They gather resources, combine materials into recipes, deliver supplies, and build and upgrade more robots. You assemble CraftoMates from local materials, program their routines, and gradually shape them into a self-sustaining workforce that collects, crafts, and refuels itself.

How do different planets work?

If you like a map, you can replay its generation seed or share it, and each fresh layout asks you to rethink routes, heating, and production chains.
