It still makes sense as a solo play choice.

automation

Play style

The fun is in making systems run by themselves.

Steam review snapshots

It's Total Annihilation, but faster, more competitive, deeper strategically, and it has chickens (aka great single player experience).
Solo-Friendly
Each factory has a theme and the units you can build are built around that theme, and to support each other.
Automation
You can do the missions in 2 player coop.
Great with Friends
