Let me be clear. This is NOT an automation game. It is an idle game like cookie clicker very loosely disguised as a factory game. You have one of each production unit. That means you cannot scale up at all. You literally are just waiting to click the upgrade button that increases your income by 100% over and over and over. Tier up just increases money, no nuance. The free to play is to lure in people to pay for boosts etc. Terrible and honestly disgusting design.

Maybe it's because I don't like idle games but, locking you out of optimizing your system behind 200 points that I couldn't get even after hour of playing, making the unlock system more boring than it has to be, transfer rates being strangely random AND inserting right in the game itself micro transactions disguised as a "support for the dev", doesn't really make me want to keep playing. Not sure about others but I don't feel inclined on keep playing this.

Terrible interface. Cleared my current setup to try to optimize things again, and found out that I had to upgrade my processor and network all over again

It uses so much resources, my pc is trying to liftoff. What is it doing with it? miner?

This is a negative review because it is imoral to recommend a game I'm actually, not sarcastically, addicted to.

Game is too good, literally can't keep my wife off me while I am playing this. All I hear is 'What kind of upload speeds are you cranking now big boy?' Please don't update this game and make me and my wife love each other more!!!!

50 hours of content before reaching the end of it which is surprisingly short for something like this with IAP. its neat but i expected something longer

This is a glorified cookie clicker game. If you like it, then go ahead, but personally I will pass.

love this game its really funny to yell to your parents and say we can eat out tonight and show them the money but its not real and see the look on their faces

they are giving crack for free

Amazing game, you should play to get away from your wife who is angry about your 6 different Warhammer 40K Collections!

What is this? Overly complex with no reward or idle feedback or scratches that itch. 0/10

Pretty standard idler with some graphical polish. The way it hides all the QoL stuff behind a drip feed of inconsistent tokens that requires active attention to catch felt predatory. There's a clear design intent there to drive microtransactions, and that turned me off of the game. I don't recommend this one.

game is good, i dont read reviews much but theres a lot of baby bitch booger fucks complaining about being poor. just play the damn game and vibe dont just hop on for 2 hours and see 3 micro transactions for like 4 bucks to 10 bucks thats meant to support the devs. you literally spend more money buying mcdonalds thru door dash. ive pretty much unlocked everything the game has to offer in about 60 hours of playtime and only 4 bucks spent.

👎🏻

Please reward this comment. I still have 3000 points left to buy those slut avatars and backgrounds. Give me thumbs up, and you will grow 3cm. Reward this and you will grow 30cm. .⠄⠄⣿⣿⣿⣿⠘⡿⢛⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣧⢻⣿⣿⠃⠸⣿⣿⣿⠄⠄⠄⠄⠄ ⠄⠄⣿⣿⣿⣿⢀⠼⣛⣛⣭⢭⣟⣛⣛⣛⠿⠿⢆⡠⢿⣿⣿⠄⠄⠄⠄⠄ ⠄⠄⠸⣿⣿⢣⢶⣟⣿⣖⣿⣷⣻⣮⡿⣽⣿⣻⣖⣶⣤⣭⡉⠄⠄⠄⠄⠄ ⠄⠄⠄⢹⠣⣛⣣⣭⣭⣭⣁⡛⠻⢽⣿⣿⣿⣿⢻⣿⣿⣿⣽⡧⡄⠄⠄⠄ ⠄⠄⠄⠄⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣌⡛⢿⣽⢘⣿⣷⣿⡻⠏⣛⣀⠄⠄ ⠄⠄⠄⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣦⠙⡅⣿⠚⣡⣴⣿⣿⣿⡆⠄ ⠄⠄⣰⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣷⠄⣱⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠄ ⠄⢀⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⢸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠄ ⠄⣸⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡿⠣⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠄ ⠄⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠿⠛⠑⣿⣮⣝⣛⠿⠿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠄ ⢠⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⠄⠄⠄⠄⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡟⠄

Pros: -Free -Fun factory-conveyor belt gameplay Cons -It has micro-transactions in form of Booster-pack DLCs, and an ever-increasingly tediousness. -Control are awkward Verdict: 2/5 Comment: Whether you consider DLCs as "donations to support developers", "the real price tag of an otherwise free-game", the gameplay has strong focus on the same old Pay-to-win formula that keep nudging you toward losing to your shopping impulse. It is fun at first, until it becomes tedious due to being constantly bottleneck by scarce tokens. Honestly, developer should just sell this game normally instead of opting for the formula of a free-to-play game that creates the problem to sell the solutions.

I cant get past the tutorial it says to select the bin to delete it but it wont select Ive tried all sorts of key combos and left and right click but still no luck. Looks like a cool game if I could play it.

i liked the fact that i could finally get a 44GHz GPU for free instead of spending $3k for a 5090 astral

It's a neat little automation/factory game. If you enjoy playable spreadsheets, this be for you. :P

I'm a software engineer. This game wasted my 3 programming days. Highly addictive, please avoid!

cookie clicker but for nerds

incredibly jank interface, drawing lines is buggy and since it's a primary mechanic, it's a really bad look. The lines also have the bare minimum connection effects so they constantly are hidden underneath themselves or the nodes. Game is obviously generated partially via Vibe coding as I recognize some of the components of the design that claude code uses by default. Upgrades are lackluster. And to the inevitable comments of "lol < 1 hour of play" Steam doesn't record playtime when you are offline. Game is just garbage.

we need chinese!!!

This game has so little to do, it would not even qualify as a screensaver. I have an unhealthy relationship with idle games, there are a lot of great idle games, like NGU for example, but a great game this is not. You just connect a couple boxes (there is really no art or complexity to it.. just... link the little square to the other little square) and wait... After a while you can afford an upgrade so you click it.... and you wait. After you wait a long time you unlock a new node. you plug it in in 5 seconds without using more than 3 neurons, and you wait. So yeah, this is about as entertaining as my alarm clock, I plugged it into the socket I click it every morning to stop it.
