Never Sort By Color

Never Sort By Color is an organization sim about sorting an enormous pile of plastic bricks in an inherited workshop. You pick out bricks and place them in labeled drawers, gradually clearing the floor and turning the workshop into an organized space.

Sort the pile

You can start by selecting bricks one at a time, then use tools to sort more efficiently:

• Magnet Glove: aim at a part to pull every loose copy of it from the pile into your hand.
• Sorter’s Eye: mark a part type to make every instance glow through the pile.
• Sieve Tray: scoop up bricks, shake the tray and let gravity sort a load by size.
• Bucket Sort: bind bins to hotkeys and fling bricks into them without looking.
• Locators: hold up a brick to light up its home drawer across the room.

You can buy bins, trays and cabinet walls, stack them into towers and label them. Each brick you sort visibly shrinks the pile. There are no timers or fail states.

Build workshop models

Instruction books scattered around the workshop contain MOCs waiting for their parts. Open a book, pull the required parts from your drawers and watch the model build itself in a time-lapse, with bricks flying into place one by one. If a drawer contains the wrong parts, the tray rejects them; correctly sorted drawers let you pull a full kit in seconds.

Completed models stay in the workshop rather than shipping away. You can place them around the room, such as a fire truck on the windowsill or a spaceship hanging from the ceiling, and pick them up to swoosh around.
