๐Ÿค– The Automaton Assembly

A machine network that never stops. Fast production and wave after wave of attacks.

๐Ÿ“ธ Screenshot wanted: the Automaton Assembly card on the Race select screen, and a colony of this Race a few days in (its own buildings visible).

Playstyle: Industrial Warfare

Build replacement forces and plan for slower travel.

Playing this Race

Compare the kinetic, energy and ordnance Assembly Drone variants when choosing an attack category, then develop heavier Sentinel, Goliath and Colossus forces as their costs become sustainable. Military upkeep and component supply are practical constraints on this industrial roster. The ๐Ÿง  Compute Core is defined and draws power, but its proposed allocation bonuses are not implemented; do not count them as current strengths.

Combat uses the units' individual damage and defense categories. Match the roster to the opponent rather than relying on a universal Race counter. Base-Race and variant design entries below do not promise that every listed variant feature is shipped.
