Devlog - Start small, think big

Hello, Manufacturers!

We are back on track!

We took a few steps back, but don’t worry — we’re in a good place now.

The game has changed: it now feels much more like a real factory sim, where you start with a single workbench... and eventually build a rocket. But first things first — let’s start with the garage.

Garage Life

At the beginning, there are no conveyor belts, no robots, no automation. It’s just you, a small garage space, a workbench, and your very first order of simple electronic devices. Work hard and progress to be the best manufacturer!

Organization is key

Everything is done manually — from unpacking deliveries to organizing components on shelves. As the number of electronic devices grows, so does the variety of components. So you'd better keep things organized!

Work, work… more work

Components also need to be placed on the workbench, so you can easily access them while assembling electronics.

No excuses!

Assembling is fairly simple — for now. Basic products require only a few components, but things will get more complex over time, and assembly will take longer. But hey — no excuses. Everyone has to start somewhere, right?

The road to dominating the electronics market is long and tough. Think you’ve got what it takes? 😏🛠 Tell us, what electronics would You like to assemble!

This month has been all about intensive work on the NPC AI. As it turns out, building a system that feels both smart and reliable is a bit more challenging than expected. Instead of showing a bunch of half-finished features, I thought we'd try something a little different this time. Welcome to a behind-the-scenes devlog, where I'll show you what development actually looks…
