Not enough ratings
code, don't grind!
By Goetz
When you focus on scripting and refrain from "minecrafting", Autonauts turns into a very different and exciting game.
The magic lies not in unleashing an army of bots, but in keeping them in check.
Make your bots produce on demand, not in volume.

Thank you very much for your feedback, @sgalanter
I've recently recorded a twitch stream, where I explain why I do what I do.
You can find it here: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2036693372

I learned tons just from the first video alone. Your walk-throughs are a treasure.
