About
IDLE_DIRECTIVE is a grid-based inventory and resource management idle game. Idly gather and manage resources to repair what's left of a decaying world. Scavenge forgotten ruins, meet scattered survivors, and push back against the inevitable collapse.
Balance limited inventory space by being strategic with your items and equipment! Available items include:
Utility items that aid you in your mission
Automation items that automate gameplay
Storage containers to expand your limited inventory
Resource producers
Manually, or idly gather various resource types to upgrade and improve yourself!
Explore a dying world filled with hidden points of interest (POIs). While many locations offer loot and resources, critical infrastructure that require repair is your prime directive and should be sought out.
The world is not lifeless, pockets of life still exist. Trade resources or aid survivors to build up your reputation, unlocking unique and powerful items or equipment in return.
RESET SYSTEM and gain powerful augment points that you can use to unlock powerful permanent upgrades to aid you in your directive. IDLE_DIRECTIVE features crafting, trade, and NPC tasks that are unlocked later on through Augmentation!

Pretty good game, Idle doesn't really happen until you've played a good bit, but building up your machine and optomizing it is pretty fun.
Maybe it's just me, but I enjoy it. Seeing how far I can get before I'm forced to Augment. At 8 hours on this run (my uptime says 8:33, but Steam says 6.9), I can see 1000 meters, I have 5.5% of the map explored, and I've traveled 139.799km with Level 11 mobility. All these people whining about 5 hours this and that. Make your own fun. I'll get around to the augment system eventually. At this point though, I'm not being forced into it, so I'm not doing it just yet. I saw the Tasks at the Outpost were locked to Augments, so maybe that's where these memory drives/rations go? We shall see in time! :D

fun game where you build a bot from scrounged parts and explore the wasteland. no one correct solution. find your own way and improve your machine one part at a time upgrading and replacing as you go.
這款真的很棒,希望AUGMENT可以有更多東西可以點(例如消耗品的時常變長)
Sollid game. Theming is good, and it has a pretty fun incremental loop. A little on the shorter side, leaving you wanting more. I would honestly be down for an epansion for this game - more worlds, new resources, new modules, deployable allies, ect.
Very fun but a bit short incremental game. i love the aesthetics, animations and snippets of lore and the general gameplay loop is also pretty fun!
Very entertaining incremental game! Scratches an itch I've had for a while. The item layouts are cool to experiment with and the core concepts are pretty fun. I agree with some of the criticisms around progression in the game and I haven't found the traders/prestige system make me feel like I'm making meaningful progress. I look forward to some adjustments in future releases. Great start though! Cheap price and good number of hours of fun. Would recommend!
i like this game a lot
Very entertaining game! I wish it had much much more so I could keep playing. It feels like it could be expanded so much. The prestige tree is not very interesting sadly, but the game itself it's quite solid and the world lore very intriguing.
short sweet and simple.
