Block Line Engineer

Block Line Engineer is a physics-based sandbox automation game. You build machines from parts such as motors, rotating joints and connector plates, then teach them how to move. You can combine machines into block lines that move blocks to receivers, and optimize those lines for maximum throughput.

Build and teach machines

You assemble machines by clicking on parts; the game shows where each part can be attached. To teach a machine, drag a link to a position and add a move command. You can open or close a gripper and add a grip command, then play back the command chain to run the machine through its defined poses.

Machines and blocks use physics that mimic real-life behavior. Motors drive machines, and links carrying many parts weigh more, so you need to account for weight when choosing a motor. A motor that is too small leaves the machine overloaded and moving slowly.

Configure your machines

You can create machines with six independent arms or two grippers working together. Machines can also be set to activate when another machine reaches the end of its command chain.

Solve the levels

The game includes 10 levels, each with a distinct challenge. A machine configuration that works well in one level may need to be reconsidered for the next, so there is no single design that suits them all.

Reuse and learn

An in-game handbook covers topics from blueprint creation to machine disassembly. You can save a machine design to a blueprint slot and reuse it in other levels.
