Autonauts
Teach little workerbots to run your colony by showing them how, one recorded action at a time. Start with sticks and stones, end with a planet of farming, cooking, tailoring robots who never complain. Bright, calm and endlessly tinker-friendly: the puzzle is making everything run without you.

Craftomation 101: Programming & Craft

Code: Terraform
A frozen planet, a silent ship, and one tool: real code. Write scripts in a Python-like language to run rovers, power grids and drone fleets, then watch them work while you plan the next move. The more you terraform, the more the planet answers back. No drag and drop, no hand holding, just engineering.

Brave New Wonders
A factory builder with no conveyor belts. You mine ore and crystal, smelt and craft parts, then tell mover robots what to haul in plain words and watch the lines run. Add turrets, ruins, and a flying airship base, and rebuilding after the fall feels busy in a good way.

Build conveyor networks, move and dock your stations, recruit astronauts and research new tech, alone or with friends.

A 2D automation sandbox where the factory runs on Mana and the factory worker is a golem.
