About the Game

In Microtopia you'll manage a colony of robot ants, design a network of transport trails, explore unique environments and expand your settlement.

Your goal? To reproduce! Create young queens that will fly out during the nuptial flight to spread out to distant lands. Starting the cycle anew.

  • Deploy your queen to start a colony. Navigate a world of electronic waste.

  • Use trails and buildings to create instructions for your ants. Collect materials, produce goods and feed the queen.

  • Optimize your layout by using sensors and logic gates to sort your ants based on different properties.

  • Upgrade your workers into different castes like flying ants, digger ants and inventor ants.

  • Progress through a tech tree to unlock new features.

  • Expand your colony and fly out to nearby islands. Explore a vast array of colorful biomes, discover new plant species and find ways to use their resources.

  • Reproduce: As with all life; your goal is to reproduce! Gather up enough resources to build young queens to let them fly out and start new colonies!

Generally speaking, this is an incredibly unique take on the factory genre, though it shares some conceptual similarities with Gleba from Factorio: Space Age. Rather than focusing purely on resource management and

This game was a lot of fun at first. Very cool theme and you get that automation fix. Pretty open ended on how to setup your factory. At first its all about efficiency and resource optimization, which was a lot of fun.

I went back and forth between thumbs up and thumbs down for this, but ultimately I think it needs some work before I reconsider. The obvious comparison to make is between this game and Factorio, which are both giant

This game is brilliant. Buy it. So, Factorio is the greatest ever game. Full stop. But after completing that so many other build and automate games are a bit 'meh' - they need to introduce 10 buildings and 8 units at

An automation strategy game centered around mechanical ants that perform tasks, build systems, and eventually break apart, creating a unique temporary-worker production loop. The core gameplay is highly engaging, with

I don't usually leave reviews, but I feel like I have to for this one. I love this game. I have thousands of hours in Factorio. Factory automation games are my favorite genre by far. They seem to be getting more
