Autonauts
Travel the universe colonising uninhabited planets with the sole goal of setting worlds in motion through the power of automation.
Fresh from your spaceship you must harvest stick and stone and begin your colonisation efforts. Create rudimentary crafting items from blueprints and slowly build a number of workerbots to aid in your efforts. Teach and shape their artificial intelligence with a visual programming language, then instruct them to begin the formation of your colony. Marvel as a planet you’ve shaped becomes home to a civilisation of workerbots, happy to do your bidding!
Expand further with the creation of colonists; beings that require your assistance to survive. Push your workerbots further by introducing fishing, cooking, housing, and tailoring and help the colonists into a state of transcendence.

Autonauts Review
I don’t usually review too many games, but after spending a few day on this one (so far), I felt compelled.
For the price, this has been one of my best purchases on Steam. I’m an older gamer, so the casual pace of the game is a real bonus to me. No constant threat of losing your base due to hostile elements; just a good clean building game with some light touch of programming. The premise is not dissimilar to Factorio, but the scale is a bit smaller. Don’t confuse a smaller scale with less complexity, though! This game has days, if not weeks, of content to work through.
There are a handful of gameplay and quality of life improvements that I hope the devs can get around to implementing, but nothing game-breaking, even at this early stage of development. The left-click and right-click functions keep catching me out (even after a few days of playing) and not all of the production (especially agriculture) is purely intuitive. The tutorial is fairly basic and could have gone on a bit longer to help with more advanced functions, but with a little help from Google, I was able to figure it out.
All in all, I highly recommend grabbing this title, even if it’s not on sale. If you own Factorio, you owe it to yourself to pick up Autonauts as well.
