About the Game

Build, optimize and automate your own scrap empire.

Start from nothing, manually collecting scrap piece by piece, and transform it into a fully automated industrial system. Every click matters at the beginning — but over time, your machines will take over.

Core Gameplay Loop
• Collect scrap manually through active clicking
• Manage storage limits and sell resources for profit
• Invest in upgrades and unlock new machines
• Automate production and reduce manual work
• Optimize your entire production chain

Industrial Automation
Design and improve your processing pipeline with different machines:
• Crushers to break down raw scrap
• Separators to refine materials
• Assemblers to create advanced components

Balance your production by controlling how much of each material is collected and processed. Avoid bottlenecks and maximize efficiency.

From Active to Idle
What starts as a clicker gradually becomes a fully automated experience. The more you progress:
• Less manual input is required
• More systems run in the background
• Your factory evolves into a self-sustaining machine

Key Features
• Incremental progression system
• Deep resource management and optimization
• Automation-focused gameplay
• Multiple machines and production chains
• Strategic decision-making

Can you build the ultimate scrap processing empire?
