- Interesting concept but not very intuitive right now, expanding the tutorial would make the experience way less confusing.

Extra Notes
A little bit tight for the deadline in the end, but we had a lot of fun making this! We're both huge fans of factory sims, and this has been a very inspired project for the both of us.

Was a really fun experience to play this, got a bit into it before the rust came and devoured my poor little ship hahaha. Definitely needs more stuff in the tutorial given how involved the mechanics are and how you can get quite lost in the systems. Now I've gotten the hang of it I'm definitely gonna give this more of a go later, but this is a fun submission, good job guys!
Absolutely fascinating game. I love your concept to pieces. I think that your initial configuration could be made a bit kinder, at the moment it's really easy to accidentally lock yourself up by pushing your rails into your railmaker, and it took me entirely too long to figure out how to get anything to the refinery, because the only way to do it at the start is to configure your core to send it that way. Also, it's really hard to send specific quantities of items towards certain machines.
I still, however, am quite interested. It's an absolutely lovely premise and "Rust" is an actual really threatening cool thing here. Serious kudos, and good luck!
Thanks for checking out the game! I'm glad someone else loves it as much as we do. We're planning to continue working on it, because there's many fixes to be done, especially those you listed. Good luck to you as well, Antagonist Syndrome was great. I admire the idea of making a narrative game for a game jam, and it's incredible for your first game!
