Games with the Automation tag typically allow players to streamline and optimize tasks by automating them, reducing the need for manual intervention and allowing for more efficient progression.

In games with Automation mechanics, players often have the ability to set up complex systems or chains of actions that can be executed automatically without direct player input. This can include automating resource gathering, production lines, crafting processes, and other repetitive tasks within the game.

Automation provides several benefits and gameplay advantages:

  • Efficiency By automating certain tasks, players can save time and effort that would otherwise be spent on repetitive actions. This allows them to focus on more engaging activities within the game.
  • Optimization Through automation, players can fine-tune their strategies and work towards maximizing their output or efficiency. This may involve optimizing production processes or finding ways to automate resource management.
  • Progression Acceleration Automating certain aspects of a game can help speed up progression by removing bottlenecks caused by manual labor. Players are able to advance through content at a faster pace as automated systems handle routine tasks.

Examples of games with notable Automation features include:

  • Satisfactory A first-person factory building game where players set up elaborate automation systems for harvesting resources, manufacturing products,and constructing massive structures.
  • Factorio A top-down resource management and automation game where players build massive factories to produce complex products using interconnected conveyor belts, machines, and logistical systems.
