Here's my hot take: - The sieve has no progress bar above it, I was wondering for a moment if it does anything! - I'm not sure why one of the ingredients is not consumed in the crafting process. - This is quite a nitpick but... How does a NES pad convert to a drill? :D - Add some kind of time speed because at times the game kinda feels boring. The crafting process takes quite a bit... - There is music indeed, however you haven't tried to add any extra sounds, even the interface is silent. Personal preference: - I'd love to see a hotbar similar to one in Minecraft, where you see all the tiles you can place along with their numbers. - This game needs a sorter tile included to sort out ore from plastic. And finally: - This game lacks a target or a challenge. You're just making drills and that's it, you can do nothing with them. The processes are slow which makes the game not that satisfying either. From the positives, I like the camera navigation. Pretty elegant, and zoom animations work as expected. The game overall is pretty mid to be honest, quickly gets boring and there's not much to do :P Graphics - 4/5 Audio - 2/5 Gameplay - 3/5 Mood - 3/5

This game reminds me of Shapez. Maybe in part because of the plain white grid.

seems like it was a good exercise for yourself as a developer -- though i'm glad you accounted for how the game would work if there was nobody else playing for async multiplayer, since i've tried it a few times and always found i had to wait for the backup offline logistics

the factory game works pretty well -- i suppose you can't fully automate things without futzing with boxes yourself. i'm wondering how you would constrain this system if you were to keep going with the idea

Your 2 combined entries look very ambitious and complex,

you should record a short youtube video where you explain the concept while playing the game,

even if unfinished :)

Fascinating and interesting.

Can you make some tips how to play it? I can build the transport line and spam one other entity, nothing happens.

Hi, I'm not entirely sure what you mean, do you mean a tutorial? There unfortunately isn't one in-game due to time constraints, but the game page has a section on how to play. If I knew you could download the game from the jam page without seeing the game page I wouldn't have been so lazy :P
