Craftomation 1 Game

Craftomation 1 is an engaging puzzle and automation game developed by Luden.io. In this game, players are tasked with terraforming a frozen, hostile planet. To survive and succeed, you must harvest raw materials, craft essential items, and program tiny robots called CraftoMates to automate repetitive tasks. By combining logic and system design, the game offers a fun way to learn coding principles while building a functioning automated colony.

The gameplay starts with manual crafting, where you drag and drop different elements on top of each to discover new resources. As your colony grows, you can no longer keep up manually. This is where visual programming comes into play. You will script your CraftoMates using visual code blocks to gather supplies, keep fires burning, and feed themselves, turning your small settlement into a fully self-sustaining network.

Controls

• Drag and Drop (Mouse): Click and hold an item, then drag it over another item to craft or combine them.
• Interact: Click on CraftoMates to open their programming interface and configure their visual script blocks.
• Navigate: Click and drag the map to move your camera view around the frozen planet.

Basic Crafting Recipes

• Fire: Combine Coal with a Spark to create fire, keeping your CraftoMates warm.
• Heater: Combine a Charged Steelplate with Sand to generate local heat.
• Battery: Combine a Charged Steelplate with Water to create portable energy.

Tips

• Automate Fuel Delivery Early: Manual fueling is inefficient and will quickly become overwhelming. Program a robot to keep the central bonfire supplied with fuel as one of your first automation chains.
• Self-Sustaining Robots: Make sure to include logic in your robots' scripts so they automatically search for charger stations or eat when their battery levels run low.
• Group Logic blocks: Use logic functions to clean up your visual code and group similar actions, preventing bugs in your robots' scripts.
