Modulus is a "Zen" factory builder in which you build pieces for other factories

Now taking demo sign-ups connected Steam

I deliberation the thought of a chill, cosy, and/or “Zen” mill builder is among the astir pernicious to ever dribble from a crippled developer’s earhole, but I can’t contradict how... soothing it tin beryllium to look down connected a satellite of symmetrically nested conveyor belts. At slightest till your robust smelting territory backs up. Modulus seems zouper-douper Zen. It besides has a pleasing consistency: successful this mill game, you signifier and manufacture pieces for buildings which, arsenic acold arsenic I tin archer from the devlog below, tin past beryllium utilized to manufacture pieces for different buildings.

These gathering parts aren’t generic, liquid resources that magically adhd up into an airdrome oregon similar, erstwhile you’ve met the requirements. You tin hint them wrong the architecture of the resulting construction. Rather than increasing them from a fixed recipe, you’ll besides sculpt these gathering parts from clumps of smaller cubes. You tin task wrong each accumulation installation to rotate, colour, stamp and trim these cubes to satisfaction, a mechanic that reminds maine distantly of Industries of Titan, but without the accumulating e-waste.

Yes, this is rather nice. It helps that the satellite you’re gathering factories successful is simply a blend of pearly iPod paving stones and verdant integrative greenery. Very calming. Nicely... lacking successful things too factories.

“There are nary timers, nary enemies—just you and your factory,” adds the Steam page. “Relax and find your travel arsenic you physique astatine your ain pace. Watch your mill expand, with monumental buildings emerging to conscionable the ever increasing request from The Grand Neural Network.” That past portion sounds a small ominous. Still, I’m definite “ever increasing demand” won’t origin immoderate difficulties arsenic agelong arsenic the resources disposable to maine are besides “ever growing”. Incidentally, are determination immoderate animals successful this world? Any people? Ah, nary matter.

There’s a demo for Modulus successful the works for 3rd April. It volition encompass an estimated 2 hours of playtime, though it’s fundamentally “only constricted successful mill level size.” It’ll besides person an objective-free "Zen" mode and a tutorial. I conjecture I could person waited till the demo motorboat to constitute this up, but it’s a dilatory quality time – it was either this oregon constitute astir immoderate Helldivers 2 nonsense. Besides, you tin motion up for the Modulus playtest close present connected Steam.
