What is moorestech?


"moorestech" is an automated factory simulation game set on an uninhabited planet, where you automate processes such as mining, processing, and assembly to build a massive production line.


Unlike other works in the same genre, it adopts a unique system that operates the factory mainly with "gears" and "rotational energy," and integrates a "story woven by anime-style characters."


The player becomes an "exiled princess" and aims to build a rocket to return to her homeland while unraveling the mysteries of the world.


Features of moorestech


1. Construction of a new automated factory using a gear system

 
  • The most significant feature of this game in the early to mid-stages is that the factory is powered by "gear-based rotation" rather than electric wires.
  • Rotational energy generated by windmills is supplied to each machine by connecting gears and shafts. Here, managing the two parameters of "rotation speed" and "torque" is crucial.
  • Since the torque and speed required by each machine differ, the player needs to design a factory that adjusts the gear ratio and supplies appropriate power.
  • As technology advances, generators will appear, but these also generate electricity using rotational energy. This construction of a power grid using gears and rotation is a unique gameplay experience.

2. Experiencing the technological evolution of mankind from the Stone Age to nuclear fusion


This game starts with simple crafting using stones and wood, but gradually technology develops, and the player's capabilities expand dramatically—from electrical control and oil refining to, ultimately, nuclear fusion power generation.


Players can relive the progress of human civilization by unlocking the technology tree. As the era progresses, the materials and parts that can be handled become more sophisticated, and the factory's production line evolves into a more complex and large-scale one. By bringing together these technologies, the player aims to build the final goal: a rocket.

3. The story and tutorial of the "Exiled Princess"

 
  • In order to eliminate the "steep learning curve immediately after starting" that traditional factory simulation games have, this game adopts a guide system that follows the story progression.
  • The player progresses through the story as Yori, a princess who was suddenly exiled from "Planet Celestial," which has an advanced civilization, to the uninhabited "Planet Arcadia." You build a factory from scratch with the help of Eleno, a support AI, and Kula, a close friend you meet on the planet.
  • Why were you exiled? Why were there people on a planet that was thought to be uninhabited? As you aim to build a rocket to return to your homeland, you will approach the truth.

4. Support for MOD development through open source

 
  • This game officially recommends and supports MOD development by users.
  • The source code for the game itself and the tools is published on GitHub, providing a highly transparent development environment.
  • In the future, we will further expand various tools and documents to promote an environment where even people without programming experience can develop MODs.
  • With a view to community-led content expansion, the design allows for flexible modification

Developer Comments
This title has been in development for about 5 years. We believe that we can deliver a new experience that is not found in existing factory games, specifically the mechanism of transmitting energy with gears.
We are also focusing on the story, and we hope you will enjoy building a factory while following the story.
We have created this game so that both automation fans of Factorio and Satisfactory, as well as those who are playing this genre for the first time, can enjoy it, so please add it to your wishlist!
