r/AutomationGames↗

For those games where the goal of the game is to do less game

This subreddit is for games based on automation. This genre of games is based around setting up systems so that you can skip over the boring or repetitive bits of a game(like chopping down trees in minecraft) or speeding up time-consuming aspects of a game(to follow the minecraft simile, creating cake). This can be done in the game's systems themselves, or added in by mods.
