Dyson Sphere is a 10/10. I have played satisfactory and factroio, but this is my favourite automation game by a mile.

new type of game discovered: no man's satisfactorio space explorer style game with satistfactory building and factorio levels of modding support and complexity. very hard to reach, but i'd love anything within that subgenre of a subgenre

I did not know about Vectorio, and I've been loving it! Two days of fun :)) Had to return to the video to thank you. So, thank you!

Potion pipeline looks extremely similar to the game 'Shapez". Definitely recommend it while you wait for Potion pipeline to come out.

Dyson Sphere, Satisfactory, Mindustry, Factorio!

Dyson Sphere is easily the best money I’ve spent on a game since Cities Skylines. Just get it.

One automation game I'm keeping my eye on is Lifecraft. It seems to be an automation game taking place on a cellular level. Definitely a unique concept!

There's an automation game called "Roody:2D" on itchio that I've been thoroughly enjoying lately. It's still very early in development, but the core concept of a 2D platformer automation game, where instead of just feeding items into a machine and having it spit out the product; you have to actually make a machine (with pistons, wiring, logic, the lot) that arranges the components into specific configurations so they can be combined into a new component, similar to a minecraft crafting grid but with physical blocks. I'm really excited to see how the development turns out, it's scratching an automation itch that I never knew I had :^) I keep trying to make my machines more compact or efficient and it's strangely addictive.

I agree, but that's not a bad thing. Shapez is great.

Modded minecraft needs a mention, especially since it inspired factorio.

Mindustry even gives a github link to the source code and it looks like not only is there constant work still being done (the last commit was only 4 hours ago as of writing this) the developer is adding a second planet seemingly representing the same level of content again as the existing game. The game also seems to have support for android and iOS (though it is much bigger than half the stuff you get on the app store). If you don't want to wait for the steam release, you can build the development version. If you want to modify it and know a bit of Java, it is open-source. Yes it is technically free (hell its open-source) but given any money made from this game is likely going straight back into developing it (and its like $10US), you would probably be doing yourself a disservice if you didn't pay for it.

The link between games and coding is a bit iffy. Games can be quite a trap and generally any source of difficulty or delay in getting results is able to be removed, and value is placed more on visual effects than skills.

I’m sure ‘serious games’ for coding are out there but you won’t encounter them amongst commercial games. If you’re disciplined enough you can get something from any game with lua integration, but it seems like too much of a challenge of willpower when the rest of the game is getting you to take an easier route

The only issue I have with Dyson Sphere Program is that it is not multiplayer! Me and my crew just love this game to hashbrown bits and we boast about what we did in the game whenever we spy on our friends list to see whose playing lol. Well, not all the time, but even after all of this time, the game has amazing appeal to me.
