About

Factory automation meets anime-style RPG. Harness gears and shafts to power machines and conveyors, building an automated factory. Produce items and research tech, evolving from windmills to fusion as you trace humanity’s tech evolution, then launch a rocket home to uncover the truth of your exile.

Build a Fully Automated Factory

Build a colossal factory as you trace humanity’s technological history.

• From waterwheels to steam engines, electricity, and fusion. With every leap in technology, what you can do expands.
• Automate everything from mining and smelting to processing and assembly—build a production network where materials flow on their own.
• Your ultimate goal is to build a rocket. Develop your factory and aim for a return home.

A New Experience with the Gear System

Windmills spin, gears mesh, and machines roar to life. Tune rotation speed and torque to design your very own power network.

• High RPM or high torque? Tinker with gear ratios to pursue efficient power transmission.
• Run short on power and your machines grind to a halt. This is hands-on, physical engineering you can’t get from simply connecting wires.
