Autonauts Has Landed on Xbox

AutonautsThis is much more than an online world-building adventure. AutonautsThis complex mixture of flavors is delicious and tasty. A fun combination of simulation, crafting, building, automation, resource management, production line… the list goes on! It’s a puzzle-based game in which you have to not only program Bots to perform your tasks, but also figure out the best way to get them to work together.

Bots can perform all the tasks you could do but better, from repetitive tasks to complex sequences. The goal is to eliminate yourself by automating your settlement so that Bots can do all the work for you.

Bots made from stronger materials are more durable and can be built faster. This allows you to do more work with less workers. What’s great is as you unlock blueprints for new parts, you can mix and match them to make so many distinctive Bots, and even dress them up in tops and hats to really make them stand out.

The sight of so many Bots busy at work, moving around and bringing life to a new settlement is amazing. It’s like watching an industrious Ant Farm.

AutonautsIt allows you to relax and play at your pace. There’s no pressure to perform. You can solve – and cause – problems in your own way, and, in your own time, revisit your established systems and industries to implement more advanced solutions based on what you’ve learned from first-hand experience or other players.

The beauty and elegance of AutonautsA simplified onboarding mode for console: Settlement You aren’t left to figure out everything for yourself. Instead, you are presented with clear plans at each stage.

Autonauts features two other modes, more freeform ways to play, in which everything you use in Settlement is unlocked – and much more! In Creative mode, there’s no technology tree to follow, which means you can follow your own path to build worlds. Finally, Free mode is ideal for an even more relaxed time, because everything’s already made and you just have to plonk it in the world.

AutonautsIt started out as an easy farming game where you had to show basic robots how they could perform simple tasks. But we quickly realized that there were so many more things we could do with this core idea. Soon we’d developed a simple programming language, similar to Scratch. The technology tree was enormous.

You will travel the universe and establish settlements on unknown planets. Your goal is to set worlds into motion using the power of automation.

After you have returned to your spaceship, gather stick and stones and then begin building your settlement. Start by creating rudimentary craft items using blueprints. You can then build workerbots as a support system. Instruction them on how to create and shape their artificial intelligence using a visual programming system. Then, instruct them to start building your settlement. Marvel as a planet you’ve shaped becomes home to a civilisation of workerbots, happy to do your bidding!

Your work can be expanded further when you create Folk. They are living beings that need your support to survive. Your workerbots can be further pushed by adding fishing, cooking and housing to help the Folk reach a higher level of transcendence.
