How to handle all the tasks on your ship without hiring many crew members (and feeding them) ?

The answer is technology of course!

With the new automatons center, you can let automatons take care of all the little tasks on the ship, like loading weapons, piloting, repairing, etc.

They are not as efficient as living crew members and don’t gain experience, but with some investment in upgrades, they can almost catch up rookie crew members. And they still don’t use any food, thus nice savings in sight!

The automaton update is now live on itch.io, and also includes a new ship : the automaton ship, and a new weapon : the falconet, a fast firing light cannon.
