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!

Perfect to have in the background and fun to engage with.
good and unique but needs to be more complex and the timers are annoying especially the terminal needs to have: -a way to speed up repair timers directly with a resource like power -a perk that lets you leave any POI and the repair timer goes on as though you were there (recruit employees?) -a way to queue up movement orders -more body and inventory space (just let us scroll down) -battery variants other than the 1x3 and 1x1 that have connections on two sides -a way to batch upgrade things, specifically batteries and biocells -more power generation methods -pipes for biomass or some kind of biocell with more sides that fits in the body -maybe an augment or item that gives you upgraded tiles in the body, which would give little boosts to machines that fit in them. that is all i can think of but its got potential to be one of the best idle games i and many others have played with time and updates (if this game is supposed to be updated more?)

Non-recommend. It gets super repetitive a bit too fast for an idle game. I'd have maybe given the recommend but the in game timer is way off and it angers me every time I watch it and it isn't running even close to one second to one second. It varies between almost two real seconds to an in game second and about a second and half real world to one in game second and I can't unsee it.
Definitely on of the better idlers out there, however I expected more from this. I feel I reached the peak early on, and everything after that felt repetitive. I absolutely love the idea and the mechanics behind it, however I feel it had the potential to be a much better game overall. I don't know if this will make sense, but the highs are higher than other games, but this also applies to the lows. I recommend this game for the experience and the mechanics, but with the above caution.
Nice incremental game with exploration involved. the demo shows the gameplay loop. if you like that support the dev and get all the nice bells and whistles to sprint across the desolate wasteland faster.
面白いけど、値段相応って感じ。割とすぐに底が見えてくる。 雰囲気はいいのでインクリメンタルってよりチルゲーって感じだった。そういうのを求めるならおすすめかも
good
После полного прохождения этой замечательной игры могу сказать следующее - она определенно стоит своих денег. Менеджмент инвентаря не чувствуется чем то раздражающим даже после десятого ресета потому что каждый раз ты пытаешься организовать все чуть лучше чем в предыдущий (хотя моя казуальность порой молилась на функцию отзеркаливания несмотря на то что она бы сделала только хуже). С момента демо было выпущено как минимум 2 патча в которых пофиксили спорные моменты и добавили много QOL изменений, разработчик активно следит за фитбеком и оперативно фиксит игру что заслуживает похвалы.
enjoy a lot so far, the theme, the amount of control and experimentation. very interesting game
Pontos positivos 1-Sistema de gerenciamento de inventários,eu pelo menos gosto muito de gerenciamentos, e muito bom fazer o inventario ser cada vez mais eficiente e compacto 2-sistema de energia, achei bem criativo o sistema de energia mesmo que depois de um tempo voce nem mexa mais nele, a melhor experiencia e no começo do jogo quando você automatiza pela primeira vez um sistema de energia 3-sistema de missões, pegue 10 missões de localizar carcaças faca tudo em 2 minutos e entregue tudo, logo em seguida já pegue mais 10 Pontos negativos 1- Pouco conteúdo, o jogo acaba nas suas primeiras 3 horas de jogatina antes mesmo de você fazer seu primeiro prestigio, depois disso tudo se repete, não tem itens novos e nem novas formas de fazer energia 2-spoiler sobre a platina [spoiler] se você quiser platinar o jogo vai ter que zerar ele 4 vezes fazendo 4 terminais e cada terminal pede cada vez mais recursos e demora cada vez mais para liberar um terminal (o primeiro acho que e 1 hora) e o pior de tudo e que fazendo os 4 terminais e liberado um novo ponto(Nexus) que vai te pedir muitos recursos como 40 milhões de energia e 1 milhão de biomassa e vários outros recursos 3-sistema de scavenge e bom no começo do jogo depois ele fica inútil e serve só pra descartar lixo dica,se voce quiser platinar de uma olhada nos guias do game tem uma build la que ajuda muito você pode mudar o horario do pc pra avancar horas dentro do jogo. Resumindo minha experencia, o jogo e muito bom e vale a pena,porem se você quiser platinar ele você vai passar raiva,o ponto alto do jogo e a primeira jogatina sem fazer prestigio 6,5 de 10
