Groundwork cover art

The humans are coming. Someone has to get the place ready. Scan what grows here, gather and mine. Repair the robots from crashed ships, and they'll teach you new recipes and take over jobs. Build a new home for the humans, and a home for the robots you found. No combat, no timer, no fail screen.

Story

You're a robot sent ahead to ready an uncharted planet for the humans on their way. Chart the world, salvage old landings, build machines and power, and wake the derelict robots scattered in the wilds — each one becomes a neighbor with a voice and a job. No combat, no game over. Just groundwork.
