Astral Industrial Complex
SteamAstral Industrial Complex is an automation game with factory building and rogue lite elements. Take the role of a rogue defense drone building up a mining and defense industry in the far reaches of space. Construct complex industries with dynamic recipes and changing building blueprints. Defend against waves of rival drones attempting to take over the sector. Play through multiple sectors, clearing each one via exterminating the enemy presence or via completing all repair tasks for your core.
The depths of space contain many dangers. Explore and exterminate enemy bases before they destroy you. Alternatively, complete all the repair tasks given by your core in order to complete a sector. Astral Industrial Complex is a Rogue Lite Automation game, meaning the paths to victory and the shape your factory will take changes each time.
Experience deep automation systems, with roguelite elements to keep the game constantly fresh. Solve unique logistical problems in each game, and use a variety of dynamic recipes to solve your factory's bottlenecks.

The enemy is without end. Upgrade yourself with over 60+ different weapons or upgrades to become an unstoppable force. Alternatively, link up defenses using logistics networks to enable them to defend against waves of enemies.

Dynamic elements force each factory to adapt to unique problems. Different resources spawn, forcing different building chains to be used. Upgrades will power up either the player or different buildings with unique bonuses. Blueprints unlock new buildings for you to construct, and Specializations allow unlocking an entire chain of blueprints and upgrades all at once.

Astral Industrial Complex delivers a unique challenge with every run. Carry forward upgrades and resources from your previous runs to propel forward new factories across the stars. Each sector delivers a unique set of challenges and logistical problems. Are you up to creating a thriving industry across the stars?
