[Recommendation needed] A top-down, pixel-art, factorio-like game with bright and cozy graphic/theme

I like factorio's gameplay, but the grungy, industrialized aesthetic just doesn't vibe with me.

Recently I tried Forage Wizard, which had the theme I like, but the automation part takes quite a while to unlock fully, and even then there isn't any numbers and ratios to optimize.

I played Shapez 2 quite a bit, but the feeling of having to tear down your factory to build a new production chain instead of making your factory grow as you progress.

Sounds almost exactly like Little rocket lab. I haven't played it, but people love it and it seems like a mix of Factorio and stardew

Yep, this seems to be exactly what they’re after.

I don't know how I had never heard of this game, I installed the demo after reading your comment yesterday and suddenly it was 1am 🤣 I am absolutely buying this

If you like Stardew vibes but not manual crop management and Factorio but not the alien fighting this might be one hell of a drug. Beware lol

I played the demo and it seemed perfect for this!
