This was pretty overwhelming at first. After a bit I realized I could grab the items and combine them away from the factory to test what two items make - but a lot of trial and error there. A nice enhancement would be allowing the player to replace pipe with gear/machines directly, instead of having to delete them. I also think that the autobattler starting immediately is overwhelming and reduces early exploring. Maybe having a short timebox ahead of invasion to experiment or plan out layout would be nice. Great game though!
