Autonauts vs Piratebots is a standalone evolution of the Autonauts automation simulation, introducing a Piratebot invasion across a lush, collectible world. As the captain of the Autonauts Defense Force, you must rebuild a ruined colony by automating a sustainable economy and commanding programmed robot squads to reclaim territory and defeat the pirate threat.

Key features

• Automated base building and resource farming
  Design production lines to grow crops, process goods, and generate revenue using bots programmed via a block-based coding interface.

• Challenging enemy raids and combat
  Piratebots periodically attack your settlement—build walls, towers, and patrol bots to defend what you've automated.

• Bot army creation and strategic deployment
  Use the resources you generate to produce specialized defence bots (like warriors, archers, and knights), then command them to attack Piratebot outposts in tactical missions.

• Progression through zones and boss fights
  Conquer five pirate-controlled regions guarded by powerful bosses to reclaim the world, unlock new technologies, and reach the ultimate showdown.

• Intuitive visual programming system
  A block‑based “if‑then” coding interface enables you to define bot behaviors—ideal for learning logic and automation without typed code.

• Settlement restoration narrative loop
  Rescue captured Autonauts, rebuild infrastructure, reclaim blueprints, and expand your autonomous settlement across successive stages.

• Colorful, low-poly art style with charming presentation
  Bright, toy-like visuals and whimsical sound design create a playful, welcoming world—aesthetic matched by automation gameplay.

• Single-player focus with campaign depth
  A manageable campaign enriched with dozens of production and defense challenges; ideal for strategic thinkers who enjoy building systems and defenses.

• Accessible for beginners and veterans alike
  Offers a helpful tutorial, growing complexity, and a strong feedback loop that rewards planning and optimization.
