Automation games challenge you to build a self-sustaining production system: conveyors, manipulators, factories, and complex chains where ore turns into a rocket. You start with manual mining and end up with a gigantic factory that needs constant upgrading. The benchmarks of this genre are Factorio and Satisfactory.
The first few hours take some getting used to, but games introduce mechanics gradually. The main pleasure is finding bottlenecks and making the plant more and more efficient.
All automation games on the site can be downloaded via torrent — sort the list by rating, size, or year of release.
