Autonauts is a candy game about planetary colonisation. You’ll land on uninhabited worlds and start to inhabit them by constructing what you want. But you don’t do all of it by hand. The objective is to automate the method, creating and programming employee bots to course of the uncooked supplies right into a self-sustaining world. As at all times, the path to colonisation begins with a pie recipe, and it’s one which requires extra than simply flour and jam.
The Great British Bake Off by no means had it this difficult. As the announcement trailer exhibits, you possibly can’t simply make a pie. You want to chop and mill the flour and blend it with butter (from a cow you’ve milked). You can also’t simply combine it collectively within the grime, foolish. You have to construct a desk, by programming your bots to reap logs and… on and on it goes, as a complete constructing and cooking equipment goes up to be able to bake a pie. But, who is aware of, possibly it’ll be the most effective pie you’ve ever tasted.
What’s not proven all that effectively is how the bots are managed. The programming is completed with blocks that you simply construct your directions with, dragging and dropping issues like “Move to”, “Take”, “Repeat”, “Use”, and extra. All the directions are customisable, enabling some detailed and repetitive actions to be constructed. The finish is to maintain the ever-growing colony of people equipped with more and more subtle automation.
One factor I like is that it’s not a game about punishing gamers. There are loads of brutal colony-building games round, however Autonauts is designed to be stress-free. I respect that quite a bit. It’s out on October 17, says the Steam page.
