Gameplay

Echoes of the Architects is a real-time strategy game that rewards creativity, strategic depth, and adaptability. Victory lies in your ability to design and deploy customizable, programmable units to dominate the battlefield.

At its heart is a robust unit customization system, letting you build armies tailored to your playstyle. Combine modules like locomotion systems, weapons, and repair tools, and define your units’ roles—whether gathering resources, defending key points, or executing precision strikes to outflank enemies.

Battles are fast-paced and dynamic, demanding sharp strategic thinking and quick adaptation. With programmable units capable of executing complex maneuvers autonomously, you can focus on your tactics rather than high actions-per-minute gameplay.

As you advance, unlock new modules, unit classes, and tactical options, continuously evolving your forces. Explore diverse planets, each with unique environments and challenges, as you expand the fight across the galaxy.

In Echoes of the Architects, every decision matters. Success depends on how you configure your army, time your deployments, and outmaneuver your opponents in the relentless chaos of war.

Story

The galaxy was ours to conquer—or so we believed. In our unyielding quest for dominance, humanity delved too deeply into the void, awakening a force beyond comprehension: the Architects. Silent, enigmatic, and devastatingly efficient, they seized our greatest creations—turning humanity’s own advanced technologies into instruments of annihilation. Entire worlds fell in mere moments, their skies darkened by the machines we once called progress.

Now, you stand as one of the last sparks of resistance, seeking shelter on a scarred and broken Earth—a planet consumed by the wars and greed of its past. With only the remnants of human ingenuity at your disposal, you command the battlefield from a distance, deploying what’s left of our scattered forces. Every battle is a desperate gamble, a flicker of hope against the Architects’ impenetrable grip.

But there’s something more—whispers buried deep in the ruins of our shattered worlds. Clues that hint at the true nature of the Architects, their purpose, and why they were waiting for us to awaken them. Understanding them might be the key to victory—or a revelation too dangerous to confront.

This is our last chance to reclaim the galaxy, dismantle the Architects’ empire, and unearth the secrets of their origin. The final war begins, and humanity’s fate rests in your hands.

Story (see below)
A frozen planet to terraform

You land on a frozen planet with an important mission: to make it habitable. To do that, you’d need to harvest resources, craft tools, burn fires, melt the ice, plant trees and produce oxygen. Estimated time for the task: over 9000 years.

Or you can make robots to do that for you!

Enter CraftoMate! They can be scripted with visual programming to perform all kinds of tasks.

More importantly, they can be assembled and upgraded with surrounding materials.

About the Game

This craft automation game brings you the most tempting features:

Tiny robots
Visual programming (for tiny robots)
Crafting (performed by tiny robots)
A rocket (carrying one tiny robot)
Story (see below)
A frozen planet to terraform

Enter CraftoMate! They can be scripted with visual programming to perform all kinds of tasks.

More importantly, they can be assembled and upgraded with surrounding materials.

Even more importantly: you can program them to harvest and craft those materials and eventually become a sustainable workforce, capable of terraforming the entire planet.

Just don’t forget to feed them once in a while… Though you can program them to do it themselves, too.",{"_28":839,"_14":673,"_304":840,"_306":841,"_308":842,"_385":888,"_425":922,"_480":974,"_486":994,"_495":1016,"_519":1057,"_569":1128,"_634":1218,"_639":1225,"_641":1226,"_664":58,"_300":54},"f3eb0a1a-a0d1-4a37-a94d-c2337f040647","2025-07-06T21:28:05.672225","2025-07-25T20:41:23.963",[843,847,851,855,859,863,867,871,875,879,883],{"_311":844,"_313":94,"_315":94,"_317":845,"_319":846},"Engaging Programming & Logic",192,"The game effectively teaches programming concepts and logical thinking through its engaging gameplay, making it both fun and educational for all ages, from beginners to experienced programmers.

Travel the universe colonising uninhabited planets with the sole goal of setting worlds in motion through the power of automation.

Fresh from your spaceship you must harvest stick and stone and begin your colonisation efforts. Create rudimentary crafting items from blueprints and slowly build a number of workerbots to aid in your efforts. Teach and shape their artificial intelligence with a visual programming language, then instruct them to begin the formation of your colony. Marvel as a planet you’ve shaped becomes home to a civilisation of workerbots, happy to do your bidding!

Expand further with the creation of colonists; beings that require your assistance to survive. Push your workerbots further by introducing fishing, cooking, housing, and tailoring and help the colonists into a state of transcendence.

Key Features:

Playful Programming
Automated Automation
Various Ventures
Charming Creativity

Autonauts combines the very best of agriculture, simulation, crafting, building, production-line and resource management titles to create a brand new experience unlike any other. Create the automated world of your dreams! The future is now!

Your goal is to build a thriving village in the wilderness, supplied with a wide selection of food, clothing, tools, books, and magical artifacts that you produce from raw materials.

Worker units can help you move goods between production buildings and markets, but as much workload as possible will need to be automated using mechanical transportation systems. Use a combination of gravity-powered chutes, conveyor belts, railroads, pipes, sorters and filters to route items around the map so they can be processed and sold.

As your earnings rise, you can research new technology to improve your supply chains and grow your civilization. There's no enemies or starvation to worry about, so you can enjoy a stress-free logistics challenge to maximize production and happiness.

- Play through eight built-in campaign maps with unique goals, or start your own customized/random map from scratch
- Build complex logical systems with gates, triggers, and filters to make sure resources get to the right destination
- Steam Workshop features let you customize rules & even create new items
- Unlock magical technology to boost your production buildings to absurd output rates
- Terrain sculpting tools to shape the world to suit your needs
- Creative/Sandbox mode let you build whatever kind of huge factory you want","https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/860890/page_bg_raw.jpg?t=1742905867",[1956],{"_16":245,"_246":1957,"_260":1962,"_262":68,"_30":68,"_263":116,"_264":265,"_266":267},[1958],{"_249":1867,"_250":1959,"_252":58,"_253":116,"_254":68,"_255":64,"_256":1960,"_258":1961},"Factory Town - 19,50€ 7,80€","-60% ",780,"Buy Factory Town",{"_270":1961,"_271":1964,"_273":274,"_275":1965,"_277":1465,"_278":1966},1950,"7,80€","19,50€","https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/860890/capsule_184x69.jpg?t=1742905867",{"_284":1969,"_1437":1970},"Minimum:

shapez 2 is a top-down factory-building game where you extract and process geometric shapes. Each shape is its own set of building-blocks that your factories can take apart, stack, paint and put back together in unique ways. Build and automate to produce distinct shapes and solve the production challenge of each goal.

Automate the processing of abstract geometric shapes into more complex ones by cutting, rotating, stacking, painting and more. Deliver distinct shapes to unlock new technologies and expand your factory’s capabilities. Learn, improve, rebuild and solve logistical challenges to design the most efficient shape production lines.

Build in multiple interconnected layers, allowing you to compact and optimize your factories in a whole new dimension. Improve your designs to get the most benefit out of every space platform built and massively increase your production throughput.

shapez 2 is the purest factory building game imaginable - all buildings are free, resources never run out and there are no enemies or time limits. Prepare for a 100% factory-building experience: effortlessly delete, redesign and rebuild as much as you want, with no penalties, at your own pace.

You’re always in complete control - whether the messy spaghetti belts you built 4 hours ago could use some improvements or a whole circle factory needs to go, shapez 2 gives you the tools to do it without limitations.

Start your operation from a single asteroid and continuously expand by building new platforms. Unlock new layouts as you progress, and grow from a single belt into a massive multi-station space factory connected by space trains. Design modular blueprintable platforms to build on a massive scale, placing hundreds of buildings with just one click.

Performance is very important to us, and with the complete rewrite of shapez 2 in a new engine, we're doing our best to make sure that massive factories run smoothly - even with the all-new 3D visuals!
