Entered the Steam 250 weekly chart as a new entry at #32 with a score of 7.07 and an 84% positive rating from 35 reviews. Released into Early Access 9 September 2026.

Key features

You write actual code, not drag blocks

Rovers and drones are driven by scripts you author. That distinction decides the audience: block-based automation games teach logic, code-based ones let people who already program bring their real habits, and the second group tends to keep playing for hundreds of hours.

Scripts keep running while you plan

Your automation executes in the background rather than pausing for your attention. It is what makes the factory-game loop work — the reward for writing something correct is that you get to stop thinking about it.

The planet reacts to terraforming

Progress changes the world state rather than only filling a counter. Tying the win condition to a planet that visibly responds gives long automation chains a payoff you can see, which is the usual weak point in the genre.
