Botlings
Launches 9 October 2026 · PC · Simulation, Strategy
Control a swarm of mindless robots to build and automate a factory. Turn these workers into buildings, use them to carry resources, manufacture products and research new technologies. Manage your systems so your machines don't start to think on their own and escape your factory.
Story
A factory automation game where workers become buildings and develop sentience Lead a swarm of mindless robots in a factory automation game where your workers are also your machines. Direct your forward-walking robots through turners, splitters and bridges, transform them into production buildings, have them transport your resources, and design ever-growing production networks in all 3 dimensions. In Botlings, every robot is a resource: guide them to work, reroute their paths, or sacrifice them to construct the infrastructure your factory needs. But be wary, the more your factory grows, the more unpredictable your workforce becomes. Key Features ⚙ Workers Become Buildings Transform robots into the machines of your factory and the buildings that redirect other Botlings. 🤖 Swarm-Based Automation Guide forward-moving robots through systems instead of micromanaging individuals. 🚫 No Conveyor Belts All logistics and resource carrying is done by Botlings. 🔬 Technology Development Research using the processing power of your botlings. Develop powerful new machines and expand your production capabilities. 🏭 Deep Factory Design Build complex production chains where Botlings...
