Its appeal lies in watching robots carry out the jobs you taught them and seeing a settlement come alive. Reviews describe the satisfaction of watching their automation run.
What makes it fun
Watch the bots' jobs connect
Teach bots to gather and craft, then watch their jobs link up to keep the colony running. The workflow you arranged becomes a working system.
Rethink a bot's routine
Plan a job around the instructions a bot can hold, then revise the routine when it does not work as intended. You can try different command orders for the same task.
Build while the bots work
Earlier jobs keep running while you set up the next one. As you progress, upgrading bots and tools gives you a reason to rework the routines already in place.
