About This Demo

"Pay the gravity tax... your factories will become a vortex if they grow too vast."

- Rock Paper Shotgun

BUILD A HEAVY PHYSICS FACTORY - NO GRIDS, NO BELTS

The factory your logistic railguns construct is not made to serve humans.

Build logistic railgun and space hauler networks to expand your resource mining operations, production lines and  tech research. Build in space - build on planetoids. Build your own mechanical planetoids and platforms. Build near the star - and far from it. Your production lines are hungry for resources and physics - some need heat, some need gravity, some need absolute coldness and silence. In this solar system, location matters.

Small and large, hundreds and thousands - the variety of machines grows as you progress. Crush rocks to extract metals, produce basic parts, build sinterers to produce advanced parts, build large assemblers to access heavier and larger machines, lay out nano machinery production lines to scale down in physics - while you delve deeper into substance, the machines need more energy, more size, more precise conditions.

YOU ARE AN ALIEN MACHINE

You are a Pioneer - one of many - but you are alone.

As your borders expand, you will clash with the humans.

Their colony grows. It should not be out here. They have found something: a message from another Pioneer. But they cannot understand it, not even after decades of research. Who - or what - else has seen the message? What does it say?

Things are getting out of hands.

Humans are but another one in a long sequence of lifeforms that Pioneers prevent from entering the interstellar void. That is how it is supposed to be. But this.. This is a colony.

ASEMA DEMO

In the demo version of ASEMA, you get to build your first, small factory set up automated by railgun logistics. Build asteroid crushers, miners and production machines - and prepare for the full solar system.
