Control your expanding mega-factory as you automate production and deploy units to battle RAS in Core Splitter, a strategy-simulation hybrid from Splitter Studio.
About this game
Build a factory that gets increasingly automated. The output of the factory is used to create and upgrade a planet-splitting drill that consumes massive amounts of energy. Craft Combat Units and watch them fight for control over enemy controlled sites like Power Plants, design a system that wins the war against a Runaway Artificial Superintelligence, all via logistics.
Start small with manual mining and grow your factory to automate everything
The procedurally generated sandbox worlds allow you to create your own factory layout in any way imaginable.
Move units to enemy sites via conveyors and capture them with auto-battle mechanics.
Use the Core Splitter Drill to drill down into the world, upgrade it to progress faster and get more rewards.
About
Core splitter is made by a solo indie developer including music, art, assets, programming and story. The game takes inspiration from Factorio and Satisfactory which are some of my favorite all time games. While also putting a different spin on some mechanics.
