Autonauts is a creative automation and colony-building simulation developed by Denki and released in 2019. Set on procedurally generated planets, players are tasked with establishing a thriving settlement by programming simple robots called “Autonauts.” Starting with basic tools and resources, you gather wood, farm crops, and construct buildings while gradually building a fully automated production chain.
The core gameplay revolves around visual programming. Instead of complex coding, players use an intuitive drag-and-drop instruction system to teach robots how to perform tasks such as harvesting, crafting, transporting goods, and caring for colonists. As your colony expands, you unlock advanced technologies, improve efficiency, and design intricate automated systems.
With charming low-poly visuals and a relaxing sandbox atmosphere, Autonauts encourages experimentation and logical thinking. Managing resources, optimizing workflows, and keeping colonists happy create a rewarding gameplay loop. The game blends creativity with strategy, making it ideal for players who enjoy automation titles like factory simulators but prefer a more accessible and family-friendly style.
