Inventor Simulator is a crafting, shop-keeper and light automation game. Take over your grandfather's old store, and work towards one of multiple win conditions to achieve your goal of becoming the world's greatest inventor! Craft Inventions Customer demand is all based on attributes, and you'll need to investigate changing customer trends to find the most profitable ones. Add components to increase attributes, but keep an eye on their requirements - you'll need to buy and include more components to meet these. Sell Them to Customers Don't guess when it comes to setting prices. Tweak your sale price over time and analyse the resulting price charts to maximise your profit per item! Customers factor in many things when deciding to purchase your inventions, including the quantity of attributes, how much they value them, and the prices you set. Automate Your Store Build workbench-centric automation to increase your output. Place conveyors with built-in filters to transport items between storage and workbenches. Add auto-assemblers to workbenches to put together invention blueprints you've created, and use auto-finalizers to add a case and turn them into sellable products. Vertically Integrate You don't have to sink 80 hours into the game to begin crafting products. Start by purchasing top-level components, and combining them to make a small profit. Then research your components' components and your components' components' components, craft them, and vertically integrate your supply chain for maximum profit! Research, Unlock, Upgrade, Expand Choose which direction to progress through a detailed tech tree. Want to stock shelves faster, or have more time in the day? Research and craft upgrades for them! Expand outwards and upwards. Purchase new areas to make space for your conveyors and shelves, then eventually new floors. THE WORKSHOP MUST GROW.
