Glory to the Robots!

Glory to the Robots! is a management strategy game set in 2647. You build a robot factory on a planet you have bought, produce robots and complete tasks for money. There is no single overall goal; developing your factory depends on completing tasks and earning their rewards. You can also test robots on other planets.

Build and maintain your factory

Your workshops make the components used to assemble robots. The assembly shop is required to build any robot, while the case, processor and means of transportation—wheels or limbs—are important for testing and production. Workshops involved in a robot’s production affect its quality and production time. You can improve workshops to raise their quality percentage or add a conveyor to increase production speed.

Repair robots build workshops and keep them working. Without repairmen assigned to a workshop, it will eventually collapse. Workshops also charge maintenance costs regularly, so having more of them means higher expenses. You cannot improve, destroy or suspend a workshop while it is part of a production run; suspend it before assembly if you do not want it involved. If a workshop in use is destroyed during production, the run is interrupted and must start again.

Manage your robots and resources

At the start, you have a repair shop, one repairman and one drill that is not assigned to a planet. Repairmen, miners and military robots initially have an efficiency of one, which you can increase in the Robots tab. You can assemble robots for your own use or build specific robots for tasks, which may ask for a military robot, miner or repairman. The repair shop increases the number of available repair robots, and the military workshop increases the number of military robots produced when your base is attacked.

You configure resource extraction in the Resources tab by choosing a mining planet and location, and can buy additional drills. Nearby planets are already sold to other factions, and you lack the technology to explore much farther, so you must buy planets with valuable resources for your mining robots to work on. Resource delivery also needs to be arranged to supply your factory.

Complete tasks and defend your base

You receive new tasks regularly and can choose one at a time in the Tasks tab. Completing them earns money, and their difficulty rises with your factory’s level. Pirate attacks on your base occur every few days; military robots defend it, and the damage they deal depends on their efficiency. Running out of money is the one way to lose, and the game saves automatically.
