Factory and automation games: about the games

Palworld

Palworld is a multiplayer open-world survival and crafting game with action, adventure and RPG elements, in which players live and work alongside mysterious creatures called Pals. Pals can fight, tend crops, run factories or carry the player across land, sea and sky. Players build structures, automate production and explore dangerous areas, while facing scarce food and ruthless poachers in a harsh environment. Breeding passes parental traits on to offspring. Co-op play supports up to four players, and a dedicated server can host up to 32.

Anno 1800

Anno 1800 is a builder game set at the dawn of the Industrial Age and in the Victorian Era. The player turns quaint settlements into bustling cities and industrial complexes wrapped in smoke and smog, balancing technological progress against the needs of the population, from local pubs to exotic zoos. Optimising production chains and urban planning matters, as does putting electricity and steam engines to good use and weighing factory output against the happiness of workers. The player also collaborates with the press, launches daring expeditions and builds a trading network across distant lands.

Workers and Resources: Soviet Republic

A city builder in which you turn a poor country into a rich industrial superpower of the Soviet kind. The planned economy gives you control from mining raw materials to manufacturing goods and providing services, and you must handle intricate production chains within a fully simulated global economy. You manage the lives of citizens from education and work to party loyalty and criminal activity. As a non-aligned nation you trade with both the Western and Soviet blocs, using rubles and dollars, while handling more than 30 commodities.

Factorio

Factorio is a game about building and maintaining factories in an endless 2D world. You mine resources, research technologies, build infrastructure, automate production and fight enemies. At first you chop trees, mine ores and craft mechanical arms and transport belts by hand, but soon you can run solar fields, oil refining and construction and logistic robots. The heavy exploitation of the planet does not please the locals, so you must defend yourself and your machine empire. The game also offers cooperative multiplayer, mods, a range of scenarios and an in-game map editor for your own creations.

Oddsparks: An Automation Adventure

Oddsparks blends automation with real-time strategy. Explore a strange fantasy world, uncover the mysteries of the past, and build automated workshops where Sparks carry and craft resources. Without conveyor belts, you manage Spark traffic across procedurally generated worlds with distinct biomes, facing unusual enemies such as Spunnies and Beelephants and searching for resources among forgotten ruins. Play solo or in online co-op, officially for up to four players.

StarRupture

StarRupture is a first-person open world base-building game with advanced combat and extensive exploration. Players discover a mysterious planet that constantly changes and is torn apart by repeated cataclysms. They mine and process resources, build a complex industrial system and expand their base while defending it against hordes of alien creatures, either alone or in a group of up to four friends.

Whiskerwood

Whiskerwood is a city-building strategy game with simulation elements, in which the player founds a mouse settlement under the rule of feline overlords. Cities are built on islands with limited space, so structures grow upward and dig down into cliffs and mountains. The player sets up production chains with automation, provides healthcare, heating and maintenance, and meets the cats' demands at the same time. Mice belong to different guilds and have individual traits that determine which tasks suit them, while ships are used for trade, dismantling pirate havens and collecting floating wreckage.

City of Gangsters

A management strategy game set in 1920, when Prohibition begins in the USA and a huge segment of the national economy becomes illegal overnight. You arrive in the city as a newcomer with big ambitions and work your way into a network of makeshift distilleries, secret loading docks and nighttime speakeasies. You run production chains and resource distribution, smuggle goods, bribe the police, chase down debtors and leverage favors through your connections. Your growing crew has to stay paid, armed and organized, because rivals and everyone around are always watching what you do.

Sintopia

Sintopia is a darkly comedic strategy and management sim in which you run the underworld's most dysfunctional punishment facility. As a newly promoted middle manager at Hell Incorporated, you re-educate sinners, resurrect the worthy, and refine sin processing with automation. You build purification centres, hire unusual staff, and can use divine power to influence the living. The game offers a story campaign with corporate intrigue, a Challenge Mode, and a fully customizable Sandbox Mode.

Autonauts vs Piratebots

A strategy game about automation and defence, in which you command an army of bots. You build and program a base, automate a farming business that earns gold, and assemble squads of Defencebots (Warriors, Archers and Knights) to fight Piratebots. The goal is to defeat the boss ‘The Dread Pirate Robot’ while battling through five different zones. Pirate raids on your base are stopped with guard patrols, walls and armed towers.

Outpath

Outpath is a colorful first-person sandbox that mixes resource gathering, base building, automation, exploration and incremental progression. Starting on a small island, the player crafts new tools, unlocks blueprints and improves their abilities. They expand their base, automate production and buy further islands to discover new environments and hidden secrets. It can be played solo or with friends in online co-op, either by clicking actively or by letting automated systems run, with no time limits; fishing, parkour movement and music reacting to your actions are included.

Little Big Workshop

Little Big Workshop is a simulation with strategy elements where the player becomes the Big Boss of a miniature tabletop factory. You direct workers, place production stations and buy machinery to make goods requested by clients – rubber ducks, dressers, drones, electric guitars or scooters – from various materials, and the money they bring funds more equipment. Every production step is planned on a blueprint, the workshop grows as desk space is unlocked, and a day/night cycle is simulated. The workers need care too, since overworking them makes them drop like flies.
