The journey from gathering resources using your bare hands to full mechanical automation is an arduous one. Dyson Sphere Program, where you’re a single giant robot on an open-ended odyssey to automate resource extraction across an entire galaxy, gives me some armchair appreciation of that challenge.
This galactic factory simulator doesn’t really give you pointers beyond boxouts with tiny fonts –a forgivable oversight given it’s just a few months into Early Access. On the bright side, this meant that after some three hours of shoddy production chains and chomping on just enough trees to keep my mech spluttering along, the moment that I finally set up a fully automated research facility was a very memorable one.
