This game captures one of my favorite elements of Factorio very well. (I still plan to set up a multi-player server for Factorio when it leaves Early Access.)

I may have to go back and try some of the other Zachtronics games when I am done with this one. I’d been meaning to try SpaceChem, but I was kind of intimidated by the idea of it.

There is one puzzle I am obsessed with but I can’t seem to get the high score. It is Health Tonic. I have created three solutions, one for cost, one for cycles, and one for area. Area’s the one killing me.
