Picked this game up during the winter sale. Lovely experience so far. Very easy to get in to, enough to do to not be an idle game. Basically you continuously set up new projects whilst your former automations proceed. Whilst the in game information is pretty good, I did find it helpful to have the wiki up on a different monitor so I could easily navigate between. That being said, the online wiki is pretty good as well! Unfortunately, I did encounter 3 bugs, but nothing gamebreaking, quickly relaunching the game fixed the issues. With how much is going on, the performance of the game seems to be really well. I do have quite a beefy PC but no performance issues I noticed. The game is really easy for anyone to get in to, no hostility of creatures means you can go as fast or slow paced as you wish. The 'programming' part of the bots is easy to follow and for those concerned: No actual programming knowledge is needed to play this game. One thing I wish I figured out sooner is that when bots pick up an item crafted by a station, it looks for an item and then paths to it. Even though the items will always be on the exact same tile, it specifically assigns the target to the bot once it starts pathing there. Meaning that if you pick it up yourself whilst the bot is already moving, it will not pick up the next item crafted and therefore malfunction. Thus, using a while empty hands (find target, move to target, pick up target) instead of if empty hands (...) is needed to make sure it confirms picking up the item and having it before continuing its tasks. In terms of value, I think this game scores decent. 20 bucks is quite a lot, unless you really like the chill automation games without pressure from hostile creatures. Whilst you can idle the game on the side there's really no point as your storages are fairly small, and upscaling your bots can be done rapidly. I'd say your first playthrough takes about 60 hours. So especially on sale you deffo can get great value out of that.

amazing game, optimizing your bots can be tricky at times if you want to limit their numbers but otherwise pretty straightforward, the tech tree is relly fresh and strange and the whole game feels goofy in a good way, *will* recommend

Sept. 2025

I’ve played Autonauts for over 500 hours, and it’s still one of the most enjoyable and relaxing games I own. The mix of automation, creativity, and progression keeps me coming back. There’s always something new to optimize or improve, and watching your little bots bring your ideas to life never gets old. Highly recommended for anyone who loves building, tinkering, and chill gameplay.

Such an amazing game! I've spent countless hours automating my little robots, generating new resources, only then to revisit and optimise it all to the max. Unlocking new bot parts and tools to make all of this faster is very rewarding. I can't recommend this game enough.

May 2025

Abuse countless robotic workers in service of a few do-nothing citizens as you convert pristine natural landscape into an industrial mess. Then once you get home you can come do that in this game as well, except now you have to program the robots instead.
