You land on a frozen planet in a tiny rocket with a robot inside. Harvest and combine materials to discover new ones. Use visual programming to make the robot do the tiresome work for you. Slowly build a gang of self-sustaining robot workers and watch them terraform the planet.

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We want players to play the game while we're working on it so they can tell us what they think.

We want to know everything - what they like and don't like, and also what they think we should add to make the game better.

We did "Early Access" before and it was really cool, so here we go again. We're excited to meet amazing people (like you are) and have fun making games together!”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Year+”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“There's a big picture with a list of the game's features on this page, it tells what we're working on right now, what we've already finished, and what we're planning to do next. This is how you can see what we're up to!”

Roadmap

About This Game

This craft automation game brings you the most tempting features:

  • Tiny robots
  • Visual programming (for tiny robots)
  • Crafting (performed by tiny robots)
  • A rocket (carrying one tiny robot)
  • Story (see below)
  • A frozen planet to terraform

You land on a frozen planet with an important mission: to make it habitable. To do that, you’d need to harvest resources, craft tools, burn fires, melt the ice, plant trees and produce oxygen. Estimated time for the task: over 9000 years.

Or you can make robots to do that for you!



Enter CraftoMate! They can be scripted with visual programming to perform all kinds of tasks.

More importantly, they can be assembled and upgraded with surrounding materials.



Even more importantly: you can program them to harvest and craft those materials and eventually become a sustainable workforce, capable of terraforming the entire planet.

Just don’t forget to feed them once in a while… Though you can program them to do it themselves, too.
