Kaipa Bots - a Factorio-Like - 4+ Years of Development - Demo 0.0.4

[MechanicusKai]

This is my first post about this game ever in public.

Game Description

Kaipa Bots is a Factorio-like video game where you start as a small robot who was sent to an asteroid in the Kuiper Belt (an asteroid belt on the edge of our solar system) by a company to gather resources, manufacture products, and send them back to Earth.
By sending stuff back, you unlock more and more technologies to build more advanced tech and connect multiple asteroids to a network of factories.

There are currently in the Game :

• 6 types of asteroids

• about 20 machines

• almost 100 recipes

• about 75 items

The Buymeacoffee-Site is on for almost a year but i only send the link to a couple of friends.
The Idea of this game was a mix of Forager , Minecraft and Factorio.
The Game isn't near completion at all but i think it is time to get some public feedback.
Especially because the game has no tutorial at all (yet) i would love to know where you get stuck ,
so just ask me here or on the Discord Server so i can help you and put together some sort of first Info-Text for people who would like to check out the demo.
If you know what you are doing, completing all Upgrades of the game should take about 8 Hours of gameplay ,
but if you play more chill or really want to nerd it out, you can sink about 20 hours into it at this point.
the current version is for Windows only but there will be a Linux version soon ,
also a friend of mine is playing it using wine and has no special issues.

And please report any crash or bug you encounter here or on Discord so i can fix it

We had an 89-minute Let's Play stream last Friday (in German):

For the next couple of months, there will be a stream every second Friday.
Some minor issues and ideas that came up during the stream inspired me to patch this version a second time.
The next big version (0.1) is planned for release sometime in December.
Weekly patchlogs (Development Version) are available on the Discord server.

• "Show Possible Crafts" in the player window is now a toggle instead of a button.

Player Crafting

• When crafting items via the player window, intermediate products are now automatically crafted first.

• The ability to automatically craft intermediate products is taken into account when calculating the maximum number of craftable items.
