In the late 21st century, robotic technology is at its peak. The demand for robotic workers is sky-high. However, using intelligent robots in hazardous environments or even for simple tasks costs a fortune. That’s where automatons come into play. Due to rapid depletion of materials, many companies start sending these automatons into space to search for new sources of materials. The prospect of being among the first to claim those sources is highly lucrative!

As an automaton factory owner, you are a new player in this business. In these first 5 years, you must build up the victory points. There are many ways to gain Victory points, for instance: sell automatons; get new equipment to upgrade your factory; send your automaton into space for prospecting new sources of materials; build relationships with famous companies; make donations; achieve goals; and build up your reputation. The more Victory points, the higher position on the “World Best Automaton Factories” ranking!

However, you are not the only player in this business. It’s fiercely competitive and being the best automaton factory is no easy task!
