You arrive on an uninhabited planet and build a colony from basic resources. As its founder, you gather materials, craft tools and workstations, and set up places for production.
Your workerbots do the ongoing work. Teach them tasks with a visual programming system, then organize them to gather resources, craft goods, farm, build, and move supplies around the colony.
Research and colony growth unlock new recipes, bot capabilities, and activities. As the settlement expands, you can also provide colonists with necessities such as housing, food, and clothing.
Players who enjoy the game often praise the satisfaction of teaching bots routines and watching an automated colony take shape. Reviewers also value its relaxed, low-pressure pace, approachable visual programming, cute presentation, and opportunities to refine or revisit their systems. Others find the programming interface unintuitive or restrictive, and describe later progression as repetitive, slow, or weighed down by waiting.
