About This Game

You were a farmer. Now you are in a warehouse you did not walk into, standing in front of a haystack, and the only instruction is find the needles.

There are some in the pile. You start by hand, with a metal detector. You end up with belts, balers, scanners and robotic arms doing the looking for you. Place real machines, wire the power, feed them by belt. Sell the hay, buy more machines, get given a bigger pile.

Nobody has said what happens when you finish.

This game has been in active development since January 2026. Beware of other copycats.

The pile

Begin By Hand

The tools

Buy tools like shovels, buckets, wheelbarrows, and pitchforks. Anything that helps you process hay manually!

Build

Build structures, homes, platforms, and anything else you need to turn your warehouse into a pleasant home, or maybe a loud, industrial factory focused entirely on finding needles!

Automation

Automate everything! Build robots, drones, conveyor belts, sorting machines, and advanced systems that process hay and search for needles while you focus on expanding your factory.

What happens when you collect all the needles?
