Rebots
Rebots is a first-person management adventure game where you play as a new hire at the Rebots Corporation which specializes in terraforming asteroids to fit the needs of different alien species. You’ve been sent to a new exciting frontier known by the locals simply as “The Asteroid Field”. But due to cost cutting, your star cruiser had a rough landing and crashed into the local Spaceport. The inhabitants are a bit peeved at you, but it’s hard to tell how much is genuine frustration and what’s them trying to wring glibs out of you. Either way, you’re here now and it’s time to start your new job!
Experience a Galactic Adventure
In Rebots, you are given tools and options to interact and engage with the game at your own pace and how you see fit. You can either take on new contracts and quests to terraform asteroids and satisfy each alien’s need, or you can return to already settled aliens to help them become even more comfortable. Alternatively, you can go about exploring asteroids to scan and categorize a wide variety of wacky plants, resources, gasses and landmarks or find secrets hidden in the asteroid belt.
Terraform asteroids with your Rebots
Rebots are your trusty helpers, from the simple Worker all the way up to the Constructor. They are all uniquely qualified to be an important part of your crew and in order to terraform the asteroids, you will have to leverage all of their capabilities by connecting them together to automate the process.
Build alien communities
Besides the Rebots, you will meet a wide variety of quirky aliens with unique and fun personalities. Most aliens will reward you with new and interesting jobs, as well as rewards, so you can upgrade your operation.

I had a very interesting journey with this game I love robots and I love automation games so this was a no-brainer for me.
The first few hours of the game I considered putting it down because it wasn't clicking for me but then after that it did click for me and suddenly I was quite enjoying myself without realizing it I had sunk in another 12 hours or so.
I was really enjoying completing the missions and building up the spaceport however towards the end chunk of the game I started to drift back into not enjoying it so much.
Once it wanted me to start collecting things for the factories like making semiconductors and what not by breaking down pieces of glass that I find on the ground I started to find it tedious because I couldn't farm them or have the robots collect them for me in a way that I could understand.
It then turned into me looking all over the place trying to find very specific things to make weirdly complex recipes.
So I'd say around the 18-hour mark the game started falling off when a initially I was planning on 100%ting it.
I bought it on sale and got nearly 20 hours out of it and I enjoyed 16 of them so I would say the game is worth it and maybe I'm just missing something.

a little clunky around the edges but a good introduction to automation games because it doesnt have overly complicated yes/no functions and all that stuff.

Worth the sale price for sure, and fun to poke around in.
The major downside is the game feels very broad but also very shallow. There's plants, gases, ecosystems, etc. But it is all very basic. So I find myself checking multiple screens to see if a plant is a suitable candidate for a mission, then end up with the same basic steps to complete that mission.
A neat concept, just not refined enough to keep me coming back.

Cozy and simple automation game, for those that want to chill out without having to think about creating highly efficient massive assembly lines. Although if you're looking for a very deep and brain processing automation game this won't be for you.
The only negative for people wanting a cozy and simple game is some of the late game mechanics like temperature and carbon levels might get a little confusing, and there aren't really any guides out there to help you along. However, with a little testing, tinkering, and trial + error, you can get the hang of things~
