New automation space game Main Sequence is basically Satisfactory among the stars

Main Sequence has launched in Steam early access with a free demo, offering a space-based take on factory automation. Players build production lines, ships and stations while exploring, and its release gives fans of games such as Satisfactory another setting and style of play to try.

The game, developed by Tumbling Dumpling Studio, supports solo and co-operative play and is estimated to offer about 40 hours, with its core mechanics and progression in place. It is discounted by 20% until 26 November, costing $19.99 or £17.59; afterwards it will cost $24.99 or £21.99. The developer expects early access to last one to two years, with plans for more systems, enemies, weapons and building options.
