Stumbled across this indie game...you basically crash land on a planet and have to mine/assemble stuff in order to finally construct a space ship so you can leave....cool part is all the automation you can do...watch the trailer vid below...automation can get pretty convoluted

*claps hands*... wondeful!

Love the music...kind of reminds me of the scores from men in black..and the panning in and out is very novel.

You must be enjoying the find!

Having a blast...haven't got that far yet.....researching techs takes longer and longer as you get more advanced ones...that and I constantly restart as I find better/more efficient ways of building/automaing.

 

One thing I didn't realize with local animals:

While I knew the pollution I made angered them and would cause them to attack my factory, they actually absorb the pollution mutating them into stronger enemies, sometimes with new abilities. Just had some wipe out all my copper smelting operation...guess I need more/better turrets. Had been ignoring defense as they rarely bothered me and only a few at a time.

 

Also tip to anyone who might be playing...if you die, you lose everything in your personal stash. Found that out the hard way.
