Island Robot Farm

It looks great and the basic idea is good, but I can't really recommend it at its current state. The robots - which are the one of the main highlights of the game - are clunky. Default behavior is very suboptimal and if you want to improve them, you need to spend a lot of time digging through the menus: select the bot, change behavior, set priority, set area, adjust area size. Then you need to do that for every. single. bot. Wanna see which bot you're done configuring? You can't. Wanna see which bots are assigned to a specific area? You can't. You'll need to click on every single bot and pray you find the one you need. The bots moved and you lost track of which ones you already checked? Welp, start over and click them all again until you find the one you're looking for. But wait, there's an option to name them! You can make a workaround by assigning coordinates and setting them as names so you know which bots are configured and assigned to which area! Except you need to click on a bo...

Automation modes are broken in a way that causes a lot of wasted time while also requiring close inspection to realize it's even happening. For a truly idle game meant to run in the background, wasted time is a cardinal sin. It's a shame because the concept of the game is appealing and I wanted to keep it.

If you like the idle game genre, this one is an average example. 100%ed in 34 hours of the game running, and I was not by any means min maxing. For the price, you get your moneys worth.

I think it's a nice game and you can get a lot of hours out of it for the price, but obviously it's very idle and you don't have to do too much but it's fun to be able to build your own farming island. I would at least wish list this and grab it if it goes on sale at some point but you'll get a decent amount of hours out of it. If you go for 100%.

Easy to understand and you can just leave it on for a long time without doing anything. The only negative thing is that its slow in the beginning.

Relaxing and fun progression

Such a charming game! The mechanics are simple and relaxing, not to mention the incredible soundtrack this game possesses. My one complaint is that the amount of max space you're given is quite small, limiting what you can build. But this may just be personal preference. I hope this game receives love and support for years to come, that way this game can grow and gain an even bigger following.

It's a nice little game to keep on the second monitor. Dev: The material transportation needs a lot of fixes. The amount of items that disappear before entering the granary that are subtracted from it's source location is way too high and makes crafting very unrewarding when paying attention. I've found its also a problem with crops (so anything the robot is "holding") but with crops the base value is much lower and has less impact accordingly. I think it has to do when robots coordinates for handing it in are calculated and the one in question is unavailable.

Could be faster or get more benefit for active game play but that's a decent idler. Robot management needs a lot of work; so do the bots :(
