About this game
Description
Supplied by the Steam store
Start with one hungry robot on a frozen planet and build the crew that will bring it back to life. Craftomation 101 is a visual programming and automation game : design a routine, watch your robots carry it out, then improve the system when the cold exposes a weak link.
Your tiny rocket has delivered you to a planet that needs a new beginning. Harvest and combine materials, discover new recipes, and turn a frozen landing site into a growing robot base. Terraforming a whole planet sounds like a 9000-year job. Fortunately, you can make robots do it for you.
Give your robots a plan
Connect visual blocks to make robots gather resources, combine materials, and deliver supplies. You decide what happens and in what order. Test an idea, spot the problem, and turn a manual chore into a working routine.
Meet your CraftoMates: tiny robots that can be assembled and upgraded using the materials around them.
Program your robots to harvest and craft those materials, then use them to expand your crew. Gradually build a self-sustaining workforce that can gather supplies, make more robots, and keep itself fed.
Build smarter systems
Develop reusable functions, work with variables and arrays, and coordinate a growing workforce. A useful program can become the foundation for your next machine and your next improvement.
Keep the warmth flowing
Your robots need fuel, and your growing base needs heat. Automate both, craft tools, light fires, and push back the ice. Plant trees, produce oxygen, and work toward terraforming the entire planet .
A new planet, a new puzzle
Try procedurally generated frozen planets with different layouts of resources, buildings, and volcanoes. Refine your approach on a new generation seed, or share a favorite seed with another robot engineer.

Update 1.0.13: Hardcore, custom difficulty and Craftopedia in your browser
Hello mates! Craftomation 101 1.0.13 is here! In the last post I admitted that we didn't make it in time with the hardcore difficulty. Well, now we did. We spent almost this whole patch on game modes, and at the last moment we squeezed in one more small thing you asked for. Plus a few fixes and one thing that lives not in the game, but in your browser. Let me tell you about it in order. "Difficulty: zero" Our players are very different. Some see visual programming for the first time and don't understand how to connect two blocks. For them, we added an easier difficulty in 1.0.9 and new tutorials in 1.0.12. Others, on the other hand, get bored. Recently Stefland played for 23 hours and left a negative review. It has this line: "Difficulty: zero (if you find it hard, my sympathies)". I won't hide it, that's not pleasant to read. But he's not the only one: people regularly tell us the ga...
Read full update on Steam ↗1.0.12 Update: New tutorials, safer saves and lots of fixes
Hello mates! Craftomation 101 1.0.12 is here! The sharp-eyed among you will ask: where are 1.0.10 and 1.0.11? You already have them — they were small patches we released without separate posts. So part of what I'm about to tell you has already reached you in small portions. Today the big one arrives: a completely new tutorial system. Why these changes? Craftomation 101 isn't an easy game. Not everyone knows what visual programming is, so good tutorials are a must. Above all, we wanted to help players who struggle with the more advanced commands. We also wanted to fix important save bugs, so you can always return to your old world, even one you'd forgotten about. A new tutorial system Putting hints everywhere is easy. But some players hate it. I do, for one: as a player, I really hate it when a game keeps shoving hints at me and won't let me do anything myself. A tutorial engine is a s...
Read full update on Steam ↗1.0.9 Update: Difficulty choices and better coding tools
Hello mates! Craftomation 101 1.0.9 is here! Choose your difficulty, do more with arrays, and spend less time wrestling with the editor. Why these changes? We've read your reviews and feedback since launch. Seeing a yellow rating for the first time in our studio's ten-plus years hurt, but the criticism is fair. We're making the game more comfortable for newcomers and longtime players alike. Choose your challenge You told us that resources ran out and campfires burned out too quickly. We've added two difficulty modes so you can choose the experience you enjoy. Standard game offers unlimited resources and much longer-lasting campfires. It's for relaxed, stress-free play, without the constant pressure to gather more resources or rekindle fires. Advanced game keeps the challenge: resources are limited, campfires burn faster, and keeping them going takes more effort. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/419...

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1724140/Craftomation_101_Programming__Craft/ Hello mates! Friends, thank you so much for joining us for the Craftomation 101 1.0 release! We've received a huge amount of feedback from you: reviews, comments, reports, and messages on Discord. Thank you for all of it. We read everything, even when we don't manage to reply right away. We need your help Unfortunately, some of the bugs you reported are still a mystery to us. We tried to reproduce them and couldn't. This includes several bug reports from reviews, and an issue with batteries that was mentioned in a review about commands without details on what exactly went wrong. And a few others as well. We're really sorry you ran into these problems. If you've hit a bug like this and want to help us make the game better, we'd be very grateful if you sent us feedback directly from the game. Here's a short...

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1724140/Craftomation_101_Programming__Craft/ Hello mates! A new update for Craftomation 101 has arrived — packed with highly requested quality-of-life improvements, interface upgrades, and bug fixes. Thanks a lot for all the feedback and suggestions you've been sending our way. This update contains several features directly inspired by player requests. Navigation Improvements One of the most requested changes is finally here! Now, when switching between robots using the next/previous buttons, robots are selected in the exact order you arranged them inside the navigation menu. No more mysterious robot roulette. Your carefully organized production empire finally respects your organizational genius.

Read full update on Steam ↗0.97.1 Update: ARRAYS are officially out!
Hey mates! We’ve just rolled the Arrays update from beta into the main branch — and once again, your feedback helped us polish it into something much more powerful and convenient to use. Here’s what’s new: Meet Arrays Arrays are containers that can hold multiple elements — think of them as a collection of variables grouped together. You can store numbers, positions (coordinates), and even object types inside them. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41979260/601742c5ee8d9529bc430c476d7e9d56592b7be3.png You can now add and edit elements directly inside the array node, making it much easier to manage your data without extra setup. Working with Arrays Each element in an array has its own index (starting from 1 in our case), which lets you access and modify it precisely. New commands include: Get element: retrieve a value by its index Set element: change a value by its index Array length: get the total nu...
Read full update on Steam ↗BETA 0.97 Update: ARRAYS
We’ve added a new feature to the game — Arrays to test IN BETA VERSION. What is it? Arrays are containers that can store multiple elements. Think of them as a collection of variables grouped together. An array can hold: Numbers Positions (coordinates) Object types {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41979260/601742c5ee8d9529bc430c476d7e9d56592b7be3.png You can add and edit elements directly inside the array node. How it works: Each element in the array has its own index number. In our implementation, indexing starts from 1. New array-related commands: Get Element — retrieve an element by its index Set Element — change the value of an element by its index Array Length — get the total number of elements in the array {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41979260/c66f7e763983c09455cc469ba40e63c89f3f660d.png Advanced Tab {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41979260/2532044861af2f71cc027c4ccbaefcd108783a39.png To keep things organized, we’ve...
Read full update on Steam ↗0.96.1 Update: NEW BLOCK in officially out!
Hey mates! We’ve just merged some exciting beta features into the main branch — and yes, your feedback played a huge part in shaping them. Here’s what’s new and improved: Meet the Repeater Think of it like a “for loop”: it lets you repeat a set of actions multiple times. You can set the number of repetitions manually or pull it from a variable. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41979260/1e040391e0387b5404b0d7e0416c68d121794631.png Repeat output: goes to the actions that run on each iteration. End output: leads to the actions that happen after all repetitions are done. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41979260/9d58110ade29548e1e07e4164db6c27bdfb39c07.png Optional "To Repeater" block: makes your setups cleaner and easier to read, but isn’t required. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41979260/6f469780237ca2a760a8831c08d52b540d8cd279.png Stability & bug fixes for Global funcions We also reviewed the bugs reported after the last upd...

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1724140/Craftomation_101_Programming__Craft/ We’ve added a new block to the game — Repeater {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41979260/1e040391e0387b5404b0d7e0416c68d121794631.png If you’re familiar with programming, it works just like a for loop: it lets you repeat a piece of logic N times. The number of repetitions can be set manually, or taken from a variable. How it works: The Repeat output goes to the actions that should run on each iteration of the loop. The End output leads to the actions that should happen after the repeater finishes all its runs. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41979260/9d58110ade29548e1e07e4164db6c27bdfb39c07.png For convenience, iteration actions can be ended with a To Repeater block. THIS BLOCK IS COMPLETELY OPTIONAL — it doesn’t affect how the logic works. It’s simply there to make your setups cleaner and easier to read. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41979260...

Community-driven improvements: Meet global functions You asked, we delivered! Now you can mark your most-used functions as global. A little globe icon in the interface makes it easy to save them, and they’ll be available in every game — no need to rewrite them each time. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41979260/0eb2571406151cae941a792fb6c1c257119cd48c.png Control your campfires Another popular request: you can now extinguish campfires manually before the fuel runs out. Just use the С button on your keyboard to control your fires! Rebalanced Command Center objectives The objectives on new maps have been rebalanced to make them more engaging.

But before we tell you what’s coming, we want to stress one important thing: THIS UPDATE IS A BETA!!! ONCE AGAIN: BETA! This is an unstable version, potentially full of bugs.

Hey everyone! A small but important patch is here — version 0.94.2 {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41979260/423e586099bd76547c5cd984656d8d847b2c4c95.png What’s in this update? Bug fixes Fixed a major FPS drop on the new tunnel map. This issue occurred when robots were searching for stone in areas covered by snow. Fixed a bug where the \\n symbol was frequently showing up in in-game texts. Other changes Reworked the Command Center objectives on the tunnel map — it should now feel much nicer to play. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41979260/cbf19bd6c2904590dcb072350707adc954bb8d3c.png Several smaller tweaks and improvements to the new map.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41979260/3bfa852cff9a999f99e3345c7c5993a8085ddbdd.png Hey everyone! A tiny but merry update has landed — here’s what’s new this holiday season! What’s in this update? We’ve further polished the new tunnel-based map. Tunnel passages now differ in difficulty, and you may even run into rockfalls while digging your way through. Fixed a number of bugs and issues. Added new animations for the campfire and for paint puddles — small details, but they add a lot of life to the world. Just look at the new animations! First, we added animations for puddles — take a look: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41979260/0c68ed5e9459a49b516ad7c834525ebd6f7795c7.gif Second, we updated the existing animations: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41979260/98899a36bacc8444f37d65eca99d4099f251da2c.gif {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41979260/c7fa95b7bda47ba105d0255062575c2bbe3d4d78.gif {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41979260/e8192d570c6a2ee677bf6...

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41979260/e0dd5c4b62679ce0a6f298d59af42e7b4da0842b.png Hey everyone! We’ve been quiet for a while — no devlogs, no updates — and that’s because we’ve been completely buried in developing the new maps you’ve been asking for. We thought we’d release the update on Tuesday or Wednesday. But, as it sometimes goes in game development, everything suddenly broke. Like, everything. So here we are on Thursday — knee-deep in bugs. Instead of an update, please enjoy a short compilation of the funniest issues we ran into while trying to add something the game was never originally designed to handle. Where the chaos came from First, a bit of context: our game maps may look 2D, but under the hood, they’re layered like a cake. There are multiple layers for different things — snow, grass, resources, and so on. While we were digging through this mess, we even found a mysterious mold l...

A little teaser about bigger things: we've now started working on one of the most requested features from the game, which we will start showing and discussing with you very soon. We will tell nothing more for now.

Here’s what’s new: New Sounds Last week, we added a bunch of new sounds to make the game feel more alive. You’ll now hear audio cues for resource gathering, mistakes, dragging items, and more.

The new cold and heating system is now in the game, and we can't wait to hear what you think of it! More on that below. Warning: Unfortunately, this new system changes the game so much that the older saves are incompatible. We added an option to convert old saves and make them playable in the current version, but doing so may result in bugs (errors, not insects) emerging on your map. We apologize for any inconvenience, Early Access can be a bumpy ride (to making an awesome game)... {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41979260/2724b430daa527325ec21a129978aef457bdb2ba.png v0.86 Released!

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41979260/f70707609599c52ec120fade0b5833477f8cbd41.png Hey mates, In this update, we added 3 new programming blocks, and that is not even our final form! These three just lay the foundation for some more exciting ideas that we plan to introduce until the end of the year. In the meantime, check out the new blocks and let us know what you think of them in the comments and on our Discord server. v0.83 Released! New programming block: 'uncombine' lets your CraftoMates to decompose any complex Object into simple components New programming blocks exclusively for CargoMates: 'get load amount' lets them detect the number of objects they're carrying (and, subsequently, use it as an argument in Variables), and 'get load type' allows them to detect the type of Object on their back (surprise!)

Today we're adding a whole new entity to the game, with the potential to change the way you interact with your CraftoMates! v0.82 Released! Enter the Ale Sprinkler and his big brother Big Ale Sprinkler*. It will dispense any kind of Ale you load into it. Ales no longer force switch speed settings of your bots. Instead, if a player changes the speed for a CraftoMate that's affected by an Ale, the speed will be multiplied by the bonus of that Ale Primordial Ale no longer charges robots; instead, it recharges 2 points of their batteries each second, for a total of 45 seconds. Use the new Sprinkler to create areas in which your robots will be automatically recharged! We added a new camera module that makes zooming and moving the camera around smoother.

Though maybe you'll want to keep some of them, with all the changes we made: v0.81 Released! Thorns can now be used to produce Fire New Ale type in the Brewery: Uproot Beer will help you get rid of Thron roots permanently Thorn bushes grow back at a slightly faster rate A player no longer needs to harvest Thorns from Thorn roots to prevent them from growing back Effectively, the roots grow back into Thorns eventually (if not destroyed with Uproot Beer), but it's happening at a slower pace: about 4 minutes, if not stimulated by warmer ground tiles around Also, Thorns don't grow back, if there is an Object on top of Thron roots Added an 'Unlimited progress' option to the menu: it allows you to unlock Upgrades, even if you don't ha...

CraftoMates now have visual effects when buffed by Ales (see video below) Added hotkeys for most crucial actions, along with proper naming for the key setting menu: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41979260/c7b41e4d4880c57d61354c29905f7da6f8e278bc.png Added a separate Connector block for Variables The blocks 'sum', 'difference', and 'compare num' no longer need to have two Variables as an input (but it's still possible if you prefer it this way). Instead, you can enter a number from a Variable to one of the blocks and get a result passed as an argument to the next Variable: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41979260/fb999ab73b35c7d86c078c7266e025c7e6300280.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41979260/ea2add1b46f10de09c22a979c9157d67288132f9...

That led to adding a bunch of new blocks for working with numbers and Variables: 'get type' - detects the type of Object on a selected tile and assigns it as an argument for a connected Variable 'get amount' - checks the number of items on a selected tile and assigns it as an argument to a Variable 'get length' - computes the distance between the coordinates provided by two c...

The last couple of sales were especially rich with precious, precious feedback from our new, and not so new, players. That subsequently led to extra time for head scratching, and then the great bug purge began, with the occasional break for QoL renovations. Anyway, here are the first (but not last!) results of our processing your generous feedback: Hotfix v0.78.4 Bug fixes Fixed the bug that caused the Editor to freeze and stop refreshing if a player removed the 'Idle' block from the Editor work field Fixed the bug that caused a newly added programming block to freeze over the right panel of the Editor Fixed a bug that caused CraftoMates not to regard a programming block as executed, if the execution occurred at the moment when a CraftoMate got frozen, or if the player was saving the game at the time....

Hotfix v0.78 Fixed the bug that prevented CargoMates from swapping Storage units Fixed the bug that swapped the names for inputs and outputs in the 'Energy check' command for some languages Fixed the pathfinding bug that made robots to ignore closer, newly discovered object sources and choose those discovered earlier (even when they were further away) Fixed the bug that made it impossible to detect an object with 'Find' and 'Find and pick' commands, if that object was on the same tile as a robot Fixed a bug that caused the manual game saving window to work incorrectly Another great news: The Automation Games Sale event starts today, and Craftomation 101 is participating!

Performance optimiztion Refactoring of the code responsible for 'Find' and related commands ('Find and Pick', 'Drop to Storage'): previous code was suboptimal, which resulted in performance drops for bigger bases. From now on, they're gonna run up to 2 times as fast, with stable 55-60 FPS on recommended PC configuration Refactoring of the code responsible for checking if a cell under an Object is frozen (subsequently freezing the Object on it), which is expected to boost the game's performance Other performance tweaks Bug fixes Fixed the bug that made the tutorial for Functions run incorrectly Fixed the bug that displayed removed Objects...

Early Access is a strange dance: we roll out features that we think will be fun to play, listen to what the community has to say, and then we throw out everything that is not fun, plan out new features, and repeat the cycle. Take this feature that allows a Craftomate to pick up and/or eat a Storage unit, if there are no items inside. At first, we thought it was hilarious and fell in line with coding logic. But then this year's Steam Summer Sale happened, and we received a bunch of negative feedback from the players frustrated with their Storage being eaten. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41979260/32de5597b86ad43a084eec86165f798af5d3e6ac.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41979260/d81ead54ca17197db61ce003613b7a21eaa66610.png {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41979260/bb95babab6b1c...

New Variable types (beta)! Previously, only the coordinates of map tiles could serve as arguments for Variables. If you read our most recent Dev Diaries, you might remember that this system is an artifact from very early times of development, when we were experimenting with the 'map as a memory unit' concept. This concept is no more, so it only makes sense to allow you to use object types (such as Stones, Sparks, Fire, etc.) as arguments. And this is just the beginning: the plan is to make it possible to use almost anything as arguments in Variables (like counters, for example), which will add a whole n...

Some more features might likely be added for them in the future (write us if you have your own ideas!) A new command: 'Set Speed' allows you to change a Craftomate's gear right from the code. Speeding up increases battery consumption, while speeding down a bit does the opposite thing (duh) 'Wait' command is now animated, so a bot doesn't look as if it's stuck, while waiting As was foretold, ales were buffed to the limit they're almost overpowered.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41979260/3ae15066ff15ec15ef9bd8ce8ef24dda93b62d8a.jpg Hey everyone! This update is truly epic, as it brings lots of new stuff that will make the experience of Craftomation 101 different in so many ways! Namely: Version 0.45: New command: Find & Drop makes a Craftomate to search for and place an element into the nearest Storage unit Heater reworked: it now warms out lines of tiles horizontally and vertically (see screenshot below) Feeding system reworked: raw elements are now significantly less nutritious for Craftomates. Instead, the most effective way to recharge them would be either via Coal Brick (Coal + Stone; previously known as Coal Dust) or via Batteries Sources of materials (Stone, Coal etc.) now provide larger amounts of raw elements: 1500 vs 600, with an exception for Hard Ice on the edge of the map Quest system reworked: Command Center quests now require...

So many of you have been asking for them and they have arrived: the glorious variables are finally here, allowing you to store and evoke parameters and code a more complicated code! The proper manual to explain those is just on the way, but if you're familiar with programming mindframe, you'll get them in no time. Happy coding! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41979260/99ac1261b41e7486ad9b9ba0118fb248fc14fee7.png But that's not just it!

Hey mates! Just like the sources of heat gradually warm out the surface of the mysterious planet in Craftomation 101, we keep slowly but steadily improving its looks.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41979260/142cb34322c9940b76998c6cc893cb8ac316b367.png Hello everyone. I am so happy to finally share with you this very update. Why? Because the world is now completely new. It's big. It's shiny. It's covered by new snow and deeply frozen regions. All of this is hand-drew from scratch and playtested. Also, the coding tutorial is now adaptive. It will be much harder to get stuck. so more players will have a fun understanding of how to terraform mars using visual programming. Here is the video of how Ivan tried to break it (and didn't succeed). {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41979260/f7002d09dcd4b317511a14c927c8e3b83cf46211.jpg Version 0.41: Brand new terrain appearance including all the regions like snow, ground, and deeply frozen zones.

Now, normally our update beat is once per fortnight, but this week is special, since our lead coder has just recently returned from a vacation :) That means two news, both good: 1 - there's an update today and 2 - we're back on our regular release beat, so: stay tuned for more new features and fixes in 2 weeks from now! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1724140/Craftomation_101/ Version 0.34 Released!

Hey everyone! As our development continues, new features emerge and sometimes they change the feeling of the game entirely! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1724140/Craftomation_101/ This week, for example, we are introducing the 'Command Center' to the game, which serves as the base of operations for you and your Craftomates, along with providing you with tasks and rewards. The idea behind this mechanics was to provide additional mini goals to the player, but later on it appeared to be excitingly consuming in itself: when we were play testing it, it was common to be carried away by doing what the shiny sphere tells you to do, instead of moving along the main task. Give it a go, too! Craftomation 101 Alpha is free to play! Who do you think could be managing things on the inside of Command Center?

What is Craftomation 101? Craftomation 101 is a craft automation game about funny programmable robots CraftoMates who can move, eat, and craft things needed to terraform a frozen planet. You land on a frozen planet in a tiny rocket with a robot inside. Harvest and combine materials to discover new ones. Use visual programming to make the robot do the tiresome work for you. Slowly build a gang of self-sustaining robot workers and watch them terraform the planet. The current state of the game: Active development, Free Alpha available. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1724140/Craftomation_101/ Update 32 Release notes Bonfires system was completely reworked. There is no way to play using single fires anymore which is totally good news.
