概要

Modulus: Factory Automation is a meditative simulation game that prioritizes creative expression and elegant design over stressful constraints. Unlike traditional factory builders, players physically design how 3D voxel shapes are produced by cutting, painting, and assembling them to meet evolving demands. With no timers, enemies, or money, you are free to build at your own pace and create uniquely beautiful logistical solutions.

ストーリー

As an engineer tasked with supplying the Colony—also known as the Grand Neural Network—you must meet its ever-evolving demands. By harvesting raw materials and refining them into complex modules, you ensure the continued progress and prosperity of this massive network.

Gameplay

Gameplay revolves around a hex-based planet where you extract raw resources and run them through machines like furnaces, cutters, splitters, and assemblers. Progression is driven by earning Datashards through the Delivery Dock, which are then used to unlock a tiered Tech Tree, offering complete freedom with no fixed recipes.

Key Features

  • 1Full creative control with no fixed manufacturing recipes
  • 2Physical shape manipulation including cutting, painting, and stamping
  • 3Voxel-based 3D building blocks
  • 4Stress-free environment: absolutely no timers, enemies, or money
  • 5Hex-based planet building with minimal supply lines
  • 6Tiered Tech Tree progression (Grey, Blue, and Yellow tiers)
  • 7Comprehensive tutorial system for raw resource gathering to core facility production

The Manufacturing Pipeline

  • Furnace: Converts raw resources into standard building blocks.
  • Cutter: Splits large blocks into smaller, workable pieces.
  • Splitter: Divides pieces further for intricate designs.
  • Assembler: Brings the shaped components together into a final module.

A Meditative Approach

Happy Volcano designed Modulus to be a zen-like experience. The core concept of modularity perfectly fits the factory automation genre, but prioritizing player freedom means there is no single 'correct' way to build. Your factory is a reflection of your own mind.
