Autonauts

You are responsible for colonizing uninhabited planets. Start with nothing and harness natural resources to build a robot empire that can be taught anything. Automation is central to the game: progress through technological ages, automate life itself, and achieve absolute autonomy.

After arriving by spaceship, you must gather sticks and stones to begin your colonization efforts. Craft basic items from blueprints, then gradually build workerbots to support your work. Use a visual programming language to teach and shape their artificial intelligence before directing them to establish your colony. Expand by creating colonists, beings that need your help to survive. Advance your workerbots through fishing, cooking, housing, and tailoring, and guide the colonists toward transcendence.
