Automation is too nitpicky, the machine selection would benefit greatly from a grid view

Интерфейс действительно запутанный и ещё играет то, что мне не сильно нравится подобный жанр, а в подобные игры я играю совершенно случайно.
Все скудно и скучно. Не рекомендую, лучше попробовать "популярные" игры этого жанра.

vraiment déçu dans l'approche.. les détails sont peu explicites, la campagne nous envoie trop vite sans tout détailler sur les calculs d'énergie et fonctions disponibles.. bref, bien décevant
Je ne me suis pas amusée le moins du monde sur ce jeu. Il m'a plutôt ennuyé. D'habitude, j'aime bien les casse-têtes et les jeux de gestions. Mais je n'ai pas accroché à celui-ci.

How dare you teach me programming the fun way?
Acheté pour moins de 3€ en solde, jeu de "tapis roulant" à la Factorio format arcade avec une touche d'humour. Je recommande à ce prix.
100% recomendado si te gusta el género. Es tan divertido que ya lo terminé en otra plataforma hace tiempo y lo compré aquí para jugarlo de nuevo.
Pretty cool automation game but the mechanics can be a bit clunkly and confusing sometimes.
Definitely worth it during a sale!
Fun with some quirks!

no automation expression here.. just figure out how the devs solved it and repeat the process. boring puzzle game, and could have been good but was wasted on someone's "VISION" of how it should go.
it's a nice automation/puzzle game with a bit of humor, there's more than enough content to enjoy and relax and some challenging levels
不好玩，在我需要交叉流水线的时候还不给我拱桥传送带，逼着我奶酪或者烤肉其中一个必须造多台，不然无法供应三种餐点。确实是比起自动化更像是单纯的解谜游戏
Automation puzzle game about creating fast food production lines to satisfy various challenges. An interesting concept and solid mechanical execution, but the campaign is far too long, making for an all-too-familiar experience wherein you’ll experience almost everything the game has to offer within the first few hours and then spend another dozen+ hours just to see what little is left.
5/10
The game feels like trying to optimise a plate of spaghetti to spell out poetry on your plate and then having your english teacher give you an F because you missed a comma. The game penalizes you on wasted ingredients but doesn't actually give you the tools to minimize output of ingredients. Even if you have it set to only dispense ingredients based on orders, you'll still go over the limit because they will send you more orders than you actually need. Not just ingredients, but every aspect of the game does that to you. Storage units are useless because you can't set a buffer number of orders, only an output speed or a trigger to dispense.
I like puzzle
I was hoping this would be a cute, fun, more like an idle game where you're building a restaurant. It's really just a mid puzzle game where the solution is never a trick. it's as straight forward as it gets.
As an example: let's say you have a "restaurant" (puzzle) where you have to make burgers, cheese burgers, and double cheese burgers as efficiently as possible. Your immediate question may be something like "how am I going to feed patties from one patty making solution into three different burger assemblers, one for each recipe?" and already you are off on the wrong foot. The "efficient" solution is actually to just have an individual dispenser, cooker, chopper, whatever for every ingredient per each possible recipe and then slap however many "order readers" you can afford afterward until you've told them all "cook one order of this item, every time someone orders this item". The actual puzzle is how do you fit all of these shapes together. Like Tetris, but not engaging
Automachef, published by Team17, is a charming and cleverly designed resource management and puzzle game that tasks players with building fully automated kitchens. With a focus on logic, spatial planning, and efficiency, the game sits at the intersection of factory-style automation games and traditional puzzle-solving. Its clean aesthetic, quirky tone, and increasingly complex challenges make it a satisfying experience for fans of games like Factorio, Opus Magnum, or Human Resource Machine, but it also brings its own distinct flavor and identity to the genre.
At its core, Automachef is about building a series of machines—conveyor belts, robotic arms, processors, assemblers, and more—that work in harmony to produce meals to precise specifications. In each level, you're presented with an order list: burgers, fries, hot dogs, and other familiar fast-food items, each with detailed assembly requirements. Your job is to construct an automated kitchen layout that can fulfill these orders quickly, efficiently, and without human input. Every machine must be programmed individually, and often the biggest challenge isn't just building something that works, but building something that works well—minimizing power usage, space, and ingredient waste.
The gameplay starts out relatively straightforward, introducing basic machines and concepts gradually. Early levels act as a tutorial, allowing players to grasp how ingredients move through the system, how different machines interact, and how to sequence tasks. However, the difficulty ramps up significantly as new mechanics are introduced—such as variable orders, limited space, complex recipes, and production quotas. What sets Automachef apart is how tightly constructed each level is: there's often not just one solution, but dozens of possible layouts, and the game rewards experimentation and optimization. Each level has three separate goals—order completion, power efficiency, and ingredient conservation—which adds depth and replay value, encouraging players to iterate and improve their designs over time.
Visually, Automachef adopts a clean, minimalist aesthetic that works well for the type of game it is. The isometric view, soft color palette, and clearly defined machine models make it easy to see what’s happening on the screen at any given moment. It avoids clutter, which is essential when you’re managing dozens of moving parts across tight spaces. Animations are simple but satisfying, especially once a complicated chain of machines kicks into action and starts churning out food with robotic precision. The user interface is functional and largely intuitive, though it can become a bit cumbersome when working with particularly large or intricate layouts, especially in sandbox mode or challenge levels.
Tonally, Automachef leans into lighthearted absurdity. The game features a running narrative involving your robotic assistant—a wildly unconvincing android named Otto who believes he’s human and regularly spouts pseudo-philosophical ramblings about the nature of cuisine and consciousness. This narrative is light and mostly optional, but it adds a whimsical, humorous layer to what could otherwise be a sterile simulation. It’s a nice contrast to the technical focus of the gameplay and gives the game a bit more personality.
The biggest draw of Automachef lies in its creative freedom and the satisfaction of seeing a complex machine operate flawlessly. In the sandbox and contracts mode, players are free to construct vast automated kitchens from scratch, experimenting with different layouts and recipes to find the most efficient solutions. These modes extend the game’s longevity significantly, offering a playground for tinkerers and optimization enthusiasts. For players who enjoy iterative problem solving and refining systems down to perfection, these modes are particularly rewarding.
That said, Automachef is not without its drawbacks. The learning curve can be steep, particularly in later levels where the margin for error shrinks considerably. There’s a lot of trial and error involved, and some players may find the process tedious rather than rewarding. Additionally, while the game provides a robust set of tools, the programming interface for individual machines—especially robotic arms and logic systems—can become overwhelming or unintuitive without prior experience with similar games. Tutorials help, but there are moments when the systems feel like they demand an engineering mindset more than a casual puzzle-solving approach.
Performance is solid across most systems, with minimal bugs or slowdowns even in complex builds. The game autosaves regularly and allows for easy testing and iteration of your designs, which is crucial when you're making frequent adjustments. However, players on lower-end hardware might encounter some performance dips during large-scale kitchen operations.
In conclusion, Automachef is a satisfying, brainy puzzle game that rewards patience, planning, and a deep love for systems thinking. It delivers a niche but well-executed gameplay loop that’s all about automation, optimization, and creative problem-solving. While its challenge level may not be for everyone, and its interface can occasionally get in the way of its elegance, the overall experience is rewarding, especially for fans of logical design and mechanical efficiency. With its quirky humor, clean design, and endless potential for experimentation, Automachef earns its place as a standout in the automation puzzle genre.
Rating: 7/10
Automachef is quite an innovative game! I know that restaurants may let bots take over some of the cooking work, but this is next level amusement for chefs, culinary art lovers, and robotic lovers alike! When I thought about buying it after playing the demo, I thought, "Let me see the price in the near future." I'm glad that I've paid for this game, and I'm ecstatic for new updates to come! Great job to Team 17 and Rhombico on this game and Team 17 for Overcooked 2 on Switch!
The level of difficulty is exactly right for intermediate to advanced factory builder gamers.
好玩 可愛好上手
適合打發時間
a fun puzzle game. the levels are a range of challenging, made interesting by there generally being more than one solution
游戏是好游戏，编程内容是单片机汇编。但是如果能的话，还是把计算机那部分内容讲解的更细致一点。而且对于中继器计数器等非常重要的自动化控制机介绍的非常少。也没有说过这些东西在汇编里的运用。希望制作组能把这个编程内容的教学内容详细讲解。毕竟不是所有人都是学习计算机科学的人。
Strict limits on power usage, space, and budget change the meta of this game in a lot of unfun ways. Rather than picking the metric you care about most like in similar zach-like games, these limits force you to awkwardly pursue all of them simultaneously, which always involves a lot of messy compromises and spaghetti. These limits cannot be ignored either, since the game will refuse to play or even *test* factories that are beyond the mission-specified budget cap. This combined with a clunky interface makes for a poor time.
It's a cooking game. It's a coding game. It is both and it's also very addicting.
The difficulty ladder is well-designed enough that you don't quit because it's complicated. You stay because you think it's fixable, tweakable, doable.
Currently addicted. Great game!
Планировал построить аккуратную систему, где всё по уму и по логике. Получилось чудовище из конвейеров
動畫可愛，操作順暢，可以絞盡腦汁找到一格最好的方案！
It's a puzzle game - and a really tough one. Each puzzle seems to have only one solution. I barely made it to level 7, and that's where my fun ended. Figuring out the correct answer is mostly just frustrating, thanks to tight budget limits, the number of machines you can connect, and their restrictions. The game could've been more enjoyable, but it just isn't. Maybe my brain isn't cut out for puzzles like this - I ended up more frustrated and enraged than having fun.
Aunque empece hace poco, me gusta mucho las cadenas de montaje. Aunque siento que en algunos
Jó kis logikai játék sok lehetőséggel.
Maybe I should be an engineer..
I was browsing some factory automation games, but then saw Automachef. Basically, this is same thing, managing production flow. It is also partially puzzle. On some jobs there are restrictions, so maybe only one solutions is acceptable. On other, there are several plausible solutions.
Games has story mode with tons on content, and optional missions too. Any you have adorable companion. This is super fun and addicting game. Plays well, tutorials give just right amount of information to get going.
Recommended to all who like being automation engineers!

[h2]Sinopsis[/h2]
Automachef es un juego de estrategia, construcción y automatización de restaurantes, bastante complejo y realmente entretenido, donde tendremos que aprender a gestionar una gran cantidad de recursos y máquinas para crear todo tipo de platos, desde simples bocadillos a elaborados menús. Nuestro objetivo será ayudar a un robot de dudosas intenciones a crear la cocina del mañana, estableciendo una cadena de cocinas autónomas. A lo largo de la campaña deberemos que enfrentarnos a diferentes retos, partiendo de una base sencilla que se irá complicando progresivamente, obligándonos a microgestionar con detalle y precisión cada elemento de nuestra cocina.
[h2]Jugabilidad / Apartado técnico[/h2]
Automachef es complicado de dominar, aunque afortunadamente el juego irá enseñándonos a jugar de forma guiada y progresiva, mostrándonos conocimientos básicos que después deberemos ir aplicando en cada nuevo reto. Cada misión comenzará con una cocina vacía y una serie de objetivos: cocinar un número determinado de platos, con un consumo energético limitado y usando un máximo de ingredientes. Las maquinas a nuestra disposición tendrán distintas funciones: dispensar alimentos crudos, cocinar o procesar los alimentos y transportarlos o almacenarlos. Al principio bastará con construir las máquinas adecuadas, seguir las recetas de cada comida y cumplir con el número de pedidos, pero poco a poco irán apareciendo nuevas mecánicas como los desastres, la mezcla de ingredientes o el minucioso manejo del tiempo y los ingredientes mediante el uso de ordenadores que ayuden a controlar otras máquinas. Gestionar el uso de energía, la eficiencia de la cocina y el espacio también supondrá un reto interesante, ya que necesitaremos usar una enorme cantidad de aparatos y cintas transportadoras. Además de la campaña, podremos jugar al modo libre para practicar o al modo contrato para gestionar un negocio desde cero.
[h2]Valoración[/h2]
Automachef es un sumidero de horas, uno de esos juegos que te mantienen enganchado tratando de resolver intrincados rompecabezas, donde gestionar al mismo tiempo numerosos factores. A medida que se vaya complicando tendremos que aprender a marchas forzadas, controlando cada mínimo detalle en relación al tiempo, ingredientes y consumo energético. Afortunadamente podemos guardar “planos”, combinaciones de máquinas que se usen juntas frecuentemente, para ahorrarnos tiempo en el futuro. Sin duda, Automachef es un juego brillante para los amantes de la gestión y la automatización, pero exige mucha paciencia y ganas de aprender a jugar, de lo contrario puede convertirse en un reto demasiado laborioso para ser divertido. El nivel de detalle y factores a tener en cuenta es impresionante y su ambientación tranquila, con un toque de humor le viene como anillo al dedo.

《Automachef》是一款建造自动化厨房流水线，通过摆放传送带、烤架、机械臂等等并通过比如订单读取器设定逻辑条件，将食材做成菜然后送给顾客。每一关有 3 个目标：完成订单数、电力消耗、食材浪费，全部达标就可以得到三星。
我对这个游戏观感有点复杂，这确实是个挺优秀的游戏，很多地方都很用心。但是它有相当多我认为不应该出现在自动化游戏中的冗余糟糕设计，尽管经过多次尝试，最终我实在没有足够动力和乐趣打通整款游戏。
我认为核心问题在于这游戏太过专注于“模拟”，而非“自动化”。
游戏在一些琐碎的细节要花费大量精力。
首先就是菜谱，菜谱确实非常真实，你做一个汉堡，就真的要两片面包、烤一片肉排、切一个番茄和一片菜叶。更别提要做一整个套餐了，不是不好，只是觉得没有必要，每次理解菜谱都要花费相当长时间，有时还需要思考这个过程到底是需要切一刀还是烤一下。自动化游戏确实应该在后期有相当长的复杂生产链条，但是这是基于前期的设计可以复用在后期的基础上的，但是考虑到本身狭小的空间，绝大多数设计都是没法直接复用的，要达成三星都需要细致的调整，那不如还是重新去搭了。
接着就要讲到，这游戏的手感真的非常别扭，没有别的自动化游戏那种搭建的爽感。整体就是在一个比较逼仄的空间内腾挪，有时还经常选不中我想选中的物体，只能先把一个组件移出去，然后把这个摆好，再移回来。复制和整体选中和移动的功能，我只能说比完全没有好一点点。调整时间和物品更是一种折磨，你们不是太喜欢下拉菜单了？选择时间是个 1-20 秒的下拉菜单，物品列表会包含该关卡内会出现的所有可能物品与产出，轻易就会超过 30 个，每次智能机器臂的智能感觉都是我给的。这游戏机器臂和传送带为什么会同时存在？机器臂这东西完全就是折磨，不仅占格子，动的还慢，不能让所有机器都用传送带去工作吗？
我想提最关键的一点，就是这游戏游玩过程在非常多方面是“不明确”的。游戏的三星条件包括订单、电力、食材。但是只能看到一个机器的功率，它具体一次工作花费的电力是很难预估的，比如组合机没有食材时还会耗一样的电吗？食材供给机我调长间隔时间会省电吗？烤架的节能模式到底省多少电？是一个高效的烤架耗电高，还是两个节能模式的烤架耗电高？我开一会关一会耗电是怎么样的？我究竟是用订单读取机让几个部件在有订单时才工作比较省电，因为订单读取机自身也会耗电，还是把它拆了，只是让这几个部件工作得慢一点比较省电？是提前做几份菜冻起来比较省电，还是来订单了再做？这些东西游戏里都是不会明白告诉你的，需要你结合实际的业务流量去测试、去优化，甚至去猜测。
比如有一关我至少花了 2 个小时结合 5 台订单读取机去交叉设置，给绝大多数部件都加上了有订单时才工作 3秒/4秒/5秒，玩过的大概知道这个操作有多繁琐，微调有多烦人，经过超过至少 50 次测试，结果还是过不了三星，直到看到指南：它的做法就是不要订单读取器，假设有一道菜是以一定规律出现的，把它的出菜调整到一个固定的时间，这样节省下来的电力才能卡过这个限制，同时需要减少传送带的长度，因为它们太慢了，让过程中的食材尽可能少，只有这样才能让食材浪费达标。
我当时看完攻略当场就像掀桌子，我不太确定这是不是唯一解，是不是有人可以像我最开始那样通过不断微调过关，但这种情况实在是太搞人心态了。
然后出菜我理解我希望的情况是：我提前做好 1-2 份，然后客人来拿走一份，我去补做一份，这样达成一种均衡。但我想说，在这个游戏里，订单读取器没有这样的功能，说它笨吧，它有高达5 种模式，说它聪明吧，我觉得最关键的这个功能它没有，有的尽是些我感觉只有一些 trick 时才会用到的功能。
写得没有什么逻辑性。这个游戏整体就是这样，看起来是个自动化游戏，其实更偏重模拟一点，用大量拟真的细节来搞你心态。从另一个模拟游戏的角度看，这个游戏其实还真的挺不错、菜单非常真实，你需要考虑病菌、着火、虫灾，上菜做菜的频率，预估与测试当天的客流量与订单组合。每一点点的电力和空间、和传送带都非常重要，你需要扣那一点点的细节才能把电力和食材省出来。很多时候甚至要故意失败一些菜品，来达成目标。
但这些不是我希望在一个自动化游戏中玩到的。
Full disclosure, I have technically played long enough to get to some of the coding/programming, but I've managed to side-step that with different machine setups. So it's not the most efficient way to play (especially according to guides), but I'm happier for it lol
The game is fun, the music is delightful. One minor nitpick is the fact that after you finish whatever the "goal" was for that level, you're immediately whisked away, so you don't really get to see your beautiful setup for very long before you have to start over.
The option to save certain setups is helpful, but can be fiddly because you don't always have every machine available in every level.
All in all, I had a good time. Try the demo, see if you like it.
外表是模拟经营实则是硬核编程解谜游戏，这游戏的核心玩法更像是在虚拟厨房里搭建一套自动化流水线，还得兼顾电力、食材和空间限制，玩起来简直比上班还累。游戏最难的地方在于逻辑编程玩法，需要用传送带、机械臂、分配器等设备搭建一套完整的食物生产线，甚至还得用订单读取器来控制机器开关，避免浪费资源。后面的关卡还用了计算机，要用编程来控制各种资源，这是真正的写代码做饭的感觉。不过游戏的引导做得不太好，很多机制全靠自己摸索，这游戏我基本是半自己做半上某站找攻略，推荐up主好大的麻雀，全流程都是靠这个up主攻略通关的。游戏的难度曲线很劝退，前期还算友好，但中后期关卡要求同时优化电力、食材和效率，稍微多放一条传送带都可能超过限度，需要反复调试。游戏美术风格偏卡通，配色清爽，但机器塑料感较重，后期关卡设备堆满屏幕时容易眼花，bgm欢快又好听。总的来说，这游戏通关最好找攻略参考，如果要自己一个一个去解的话太烧脑了。
I thought Automachef would be something I'd enjoy, but it ended up feeling more tedious than fun. The idea of programming machines to automate a kitchen sounds interesting, but in practice, it was frustrating. Placement of machines is extremely specific, and even small mistakes can break an entire setup.
This is similar to cooking games, although upgraded with strategy mechanics and automation of testing what you build IRL time. It can be quite daunting at first, and it took me a few tries and solutions from Steam guide to help me complete the campaign.
There is much flexibility and variability in setting up everything; it's all a matter of how you program each machine to work. There's never truly one solution, but several and it's all based on your play style and strategy to heat, slice, mix, etc. and finally deliver the finished product. There's a lot of recipes to try in the base game, plus more if you intend to expand by checking out the Workshop section. The creativity is endless!
Graphics are smooth, simple 3D textures, like what you'd see in Plateup! and even the Overcooked games. It gives off a bright, cheerful vibe [spoiler]despite the never-ending pressure to not mess up a single code in each level[/spoiler].
In the end, it's definitely a challenge for novice players like me. But I can see more technical gamers, who enjoy simulation and programming with codes, will enjoy Automachef.
与其说自动化更像是解谜游戏 放置不方便，控制麻烦
游玩几天后的心理历程。。。。
好难玩，有点玩不下去，太费脑子了，感觉就像编程
其实，也没有我想象的那么复杂，看了看别人视频，这个游戏做好蓝图就很轻松了
做了蓝图也不顶用，后面会缩小地图，强制让人改蓝图，烦人的很。
每个机器都要设置，一步错就全错，每个机器都要仔细看一遍，费劲
教程也太基础了，没有高级点操作，全靠自己摸索（面试拧螺丝，入职造火箭）
玩了十几关了，和我预想的做菜游戏差太多了
给的限制太多，原材料限制，电力限制，地图限制，蓝图限制
我只想做一个专心做菜的玩家，这个游戏就玩到这吧。
i am not a robot this game good
Fun game
Wer will nicht sein eigenes Restaurant automatisieren um die Weltherrschaft an sich zu reissen?
Very much a 'solved' game. There are only 3 metrics, meaning there is an objectively best build for each level. This takes some of the fun out of it, since it becomes more of a puzzle game than a simulator.
Very much enjoyed the campaign so far. The harshness of the efficiency rating in some levels forced me to improve the layouts, write better codes so as to fit the 32-line restriction and encouraged me to use new tech (AC-32 instead of AC-16 where more lines of code are needed while space is restricted).
Last campaign level is a pain in terms of achieving 100% efficiency. Threshold for that seems to be around 14.600 Wh. Not sure if the game is buggy in some mechanics as I could only get the level finished every 3 runs. Will not touch that level ever again.
Never had to use the computers to finish all the levels with 3 stars so that's a plus for me.
yes, buy!

然后出菜我理解我希望的情况是：我提前做好 1-2 份，然后客人来拿走一份，我去补做一份，这样达成一种均衡。但我想说，在这个游戏里，订单读取器没有这样的功能，说它笨吧，它有高达5 种模式，说它聪明吧，我觉得最关键的这个功能它没有，有的尽是些我感觉只有一些 trick 时才会用到的功能。
写得没有什么逻辑性。这个游戏整体就是这样，看起来是个自动化游戏，其实更偏重模拟一点，用大量拟真的细节来搞你心态。从另一个模拟游戏的角度看，这个游戏其实还真的挺不错、菜单非常真实，你需要考虑病菌、着火、虫灾，上菜做菜的频率，预估与测试当天的客流量与订单组合。每一点点的电力和空间、和传送带都非常重要，你需要扣那一点点的细节才能把电力和食材省出来。很多时候甚至要故意失败一些菜品，来达成目标。
但这些不是我希望在一个自动化游戏中玩到的。

Это настоящий тест для мозгов! Игра заставляет думать стратегически, решать задачи по оптимизации производства еды и создавать удивительные автоматизированные кухни. С каждым уровнем сложности растет, но это только добавляет увлекательности! Прекрасное сочетание логики и креативности. Рекомендую всем любителям головоломок!
实话说玩到现在这个游戏是有点鸡肋了，编辑流水线整体还是偏枯燥的，特别是做完方案一遍一遍跑程序的时候是真的有种命很苦的感觉，下班又跑来游戏里加班了属于是。不推荐啊不推荐
Grabbed this game on discount, and its more fun than I thought! Very satisfying if you like solving puzzles
Addictive, fun, great to pass the time. Worth it's value.
我还以为是异形工厂的那种玩法直接买了cdk 没法退款
不过整体来说
这款游戏做的还行
但是如果追求异形工厂那种玩法
不推荐购买这个
I gotta make sure I get all the objectives achieved. Helped me improve my management skills and transcend that to multitasking skills and problem-solving skills in real life. No kidding. Thanks game.
After a few years retried it and a few levels later remembered, why i dropped it years ago.
I love the concept, the setting and am a great fan of similar games (looking at Zachtronics games for example).
But: While the game seems sandboxy at first it instead only alows a very limited set of solutions.
If the balancing would be less restrictive in regards to the level goals, it would open up the possibility to optimize the hell out of ones solutions in one direction or the other, but instead it rather blocks creativity and forces the player to one or two solutions.
In one of the first levels they show you that you should have an order reader to only power the grill once there is an open order for a product, okay... let's use that knowledge in the next level:
As the order reader only supports 4 outputs which already trigger the supply of all 4 ingredients that are needed for a BLT toast, I drop down another one, so that it controls the grill. Well no, I would if there was spare money left. Instead I fullfill all requirements for the level by a tiny bit and feel like i just copied the intended solution all along.
While Zachtronics games allow you to optimize in different categories and come up with absolutely stupid solutions to get an optimal solution in a certain aspect of the level, this game forces you to follow the intention of the level designer.

I've had Automachef for Switch for a while now, and saw that it was on sale over here. It's about 4000% better to play with a mouse and keyboard than with the Switch controller. I definitely recommend it!
This game is great for fans of logic puzzles, automation games, and even ubernerds who want to literally write some assembler code to make their robot kitchen completely optimized. The difficulty level ranges from straightforward to quite complex as the dishes and available robotics get more complicated.
做工程使我快樂
Es un juego que en cierta manera emula la carrera de Licenciatura en Diseño Industrial, basicamente en lugar de construir fabricas, construis cocinas (hay una similitud con el Prison Architect, el blueprint tycoon y similares), tenes algunos pedidos para cumplir en tiempo y forma (que le añade algo de dificultad al juego) al igual que posibles desastres como incendios, etc.
De proyeccion isometrica, relativamente corto pero entretenido, tiene modo campaña, contratos (hasta que fulleas planos de construccion de todas las cosas) y lo mas interesante que son los MODS que le agregan mas cosas (el verdadero punto fuerte del juego).
El robot que te guia en cada nivel es bastante pintoresco y gracioso, tiene ese toque de humor a lo Wheatley de Portal 2 o GlaDoS.
7.5/10 - buena musica, podian agregarle mas cosas de base, el concepto es bastante bueno y entretenido, aunque se apoya bastante en los MODS para mejorar. Graficos bastante decentes.
This game is ok. It's UI is the thing that lets it down. If you're not bothered by the UI, you'll probably have fun.
game doesn't explain ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. like why is it explaining the most obvious way to to save power 9 ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ levels into the campaign?????
Didn't expect to like this game, ended up loving it. Recommend!!!
Für 2,24€ ein super Schnäppchen. Man muss aber im Hinterkopf behalten, dass man bei diesem Game echt sein Hirn anstrengen muss. Für "nebenbei mal eben" ist das Game nicht gedacht. Wer Bock auf Strategie hat und sich darauf einlässt, ist das auf jeden Fall ne abolute Empfehlung! Es hat noch weitaus mehr zu bieten, als die Demo einsehen lässt. Mehrere Stunden kriegt man mit dem Game auf jeden Fall platt und ist immernoch nicht durch :D
Quizá algo aburrido al final, pero está bien.
诶嘿脑袋好痒 好像要长脑子了
좋아!
great overall game
Such a chore to play. When you start the day off, even on fast mode you have to sit for ages just for things to begin.
I think I've been spoiled by things like Satisfactory, where things make sense. Even moving around is hard on this one, and the game doesn't even tell you how to delete anything. Turns out you have to press the delete key on your keyboard.
This type of game can and should be entirely playable with just a mouse, but instead it forces you to use the keyboard for simple things like rotating items. What happened to using the mousewheel for something like that? Afraid people will want to zoom in and out at the same time they want to rotate an object?
Poorly designed.
first played this game on the Nintendo switch. Later i got it on steam to start over again, with the benefits of being part of the steam community. I recommend this game for people who like to take it easy and want to use their brains simultaneously. One feature i am not yet comfortable using, is the big programming computer you can use later on in the game. I personally would love to have a tutorial level on that one specific part of machinery, to follow step by step robot-talk instruction (despite i am not a IT programmer, i would love to learn a bit about how to use this machine in the game). i know there are guides online, but that's not the same :)
5 stars for me, because in the beginning you are working the game out and after that you can try to get a perfect score in every level (and some are hard to fulfill at 100%, yet relatively easy to complete at novice goals, to move on the the next level, which makes it fun throughout the whole game.
after you finish campaign you can run tests in the test kitchen or play to earn contracts. I like that very much.
Design and automate your own kitchen with a blend of strategy and puzzle-solving. Create efficient cooking systems and tackle complex challenges in a fun, food-themed simulation. Perfect for fans of creative problem-solving and automation.
Un juego muy ingenioso e interesante para pensar un rato y llevar a cabo la colocación y configuración de equipo con éxito sino cuello.

Automachef is the most unique factory game I've ever played. You gotta make factories to handle food orders, try to reuse as many parts as possible to save cost, figure out how to handle massive rush hour mobs without burning too much power or dropping orders, and so on.
Down the line, this game has its own coding language for controlling machines and handling orders. It's got a puzzle campaign, and a whole contracts mode, all around a good time. You can make VERY tight factories, especially with late game tech.
I love this game a lot. Ive never found another factory game that's this good at making me care about compact design, and saving costs. Only in this game will I bend over backwards to use the same electric grill for four recipes.
Gameplay ist mir zu langweilig. Es bringt kein Spaß die Aktionen sind mir nicht gut abgestimmt.
我喜欢流水线，又不喜欢机械化太多的游戏，这款对我来说就刚刚好，集流水线和我最爱的烹饪于一身，烧脑又不是特别烧脑
AmAzInG game, except a bit puzzling, so yeah, but the price is a lot and my bank account is dying from this game... 5 stars
Puzzle, yes ; Programming not so much.
It's a game which has good idea but becomes tedious pretty quick.
It's fun in the first level and at some point you're just restrained by the machine available and the pseudo-programming making any try complex while it could have been simple.
If videos didn't make you think having people are better than machine in the food industry (in restaurant not in processing) this game should convince you.
I haven't played for long at the time of this review, however, I think I have seen enough to confirm that this game is definitely one that I can recommend. I enjoy this game because I love figuring out how to make things work and then after that, how to improve on them. I love the fact that on top of the main objective, being creating the correct foods that a level requires you to, there are also other challenges such as limiting power usage, not wasting ingredients and also fitting the production lines into a tight space. One thing to note though is that (in my opinion at least) this game is only really suitable for only a few different type of people. This game is great but if you don't like challenges and figuring things out then this game probably won't be very enjoyable to you especially as you have to complete the level you are on to move on.
Chouette jeu de stratégie afin d'automatiser des lignes de production. Pour les fans de logistique ! :)

A fancy little puzzle game that requires you to automate recipes. There's a LOT of options there, so if you enjoy factorio, you'll probably like this game.
Getting a build right after tinkering with it and optimising it, is very satisfying. A nerd's wet dream.
Good concept for a game and yes I would recommend to a friend
Really repetitive and simplistic automation make this game feel like a paint by numbers coloring book more than actual puzzles to be solved. Hours into solving challenges more or less the same way, I'm considering tapping out.
Limiting ingredient-use. Limiting power use. It all unfortunately boils down to doing pretty similar things.
Having unique smart grabbers for each cooked food, having grabbers required to put things into assemblers, it all feels like it's "that extra step" to pretend there's something interesting going on here, making the tedious builds look more alive and interesting than they actually are.
文科生都开始硬着头皮编程来了
Gosh there’s a lot of levers to pull when it comes to automating a simple burger run.
Taxing, but worth going at if you want a challenge.
I've been logging on every day and each day no exception all my progress has been reset. Game is fun but I would't say its worth repeatng every level just to get to a new one.
我的大腦在燃燒
10/10. Silly concept, perfect execution. No notes.
A factory game about using machines to make food. Starts out interesting but gets tedious fast, and then they introduce a mandatory assembly-style programming language (mandatory because the equivalent non-programmed machinery uses too much power). I'm a software developer and I still don't want to deal with that.
Fun game. It is more like a puzzle game than anything else. Once you make templates of an item, it can get boring especially in the sandbox mode where you keep getting the same scenarios over and over. The computers are difficult to understand and I never found a tutorial for them, so I don't use them.
Really fun puzzle automation game. 10/10 defo recommend
