Autonauts is a colony-building automation game where you program robots to handle every task. You land on an empty planet with nothing, harvest basic resources like sticks and stone, and craft tools by hand. The hook: you build workerbots and teach them actions through a visual programming system—record a sequence of steps, and they'll repeat it forever. Early on you're chopping trees and planting seeds yourself. Soon you've got bots farming, fishing, cooking, and constructing buildings while you design their routines. Colonists arrive later and need housing, food, and clothing to thrive. The tech tree spans from stone tools to advanced machinery. It's about designing efficient production chains and watching your automated settlement grow. Suits players who enjoy logistics puzzles and don't mind iterating on bot behavior until systems click.
