  • Automation
  • Puzzle
  • Minimalist

A factory of geometric shapes: you cut, paint and combine shapes on increasingly complex conveyor belts. No enemies and no resources running out, it's automation at its purest and most relaxed.

Why play it now

When you want to optimise without pressure: you can leave it and pick it up whenever you like without losing anything.

Who it's for

For anyone curious about Factorio who prefers something calmer and more abstract.

When not to pick it

If you want a story or visual variety: it's geometry and belts.
