Build robots, perform research, uncover the island, and restore the communications tower to receive "The Signal!"
----
Merge 3 identical items to create a higher level version of that item. You can get items from places by sending a robot there.
* Mines (pickaxe) - provides ore -> gears -> robots
* Beach (shovel) - provides sand -> glass -> solar panels
* Research (plants) - provides Data, needed for uncovering more of the island.
You can right click on a robot to wake it up, and then give it commands. You must put it back to sleep before you can merge it.
----
Controls
* left click - drag to merge
* right click - give robots instructions
* Arrows/WASD - move camera
* plus/minus - zoom camera

Protip! - merging 3 gets you one new item, but merging 5 gets you two!
----
I'm stuck, how do I play?
* Your first priority should be building a robot. 3 ingots -> 3 gears -> 1 robot.
* After that, wake up the robot by right clicking on it
* Researching the plants to gain data is useful, that can reveal more of the map
* Revealing the map will make it easier to get more robots
* Honestly just doing nothing but getting level 3 data (SD cards) and revealing the map will give you so much free stuff
----
So as ever, the scope was too big, I didn't get the central mechanics working until the final hours, and had to cut most the content. Probably should've known better on a solo jam!
