Irradiate 235 is an Automation-Engineering game where the player not only builds the factories but designs the very machines themselves. The machines have simulated pressure, temperature, electricity, and more; this allows the player to design almost any type of machine to help mass produce items, blow up enemies, or make massive amounts of electricity.

The player must navigate and survive through the tough conditions of their environment. By using one's intelligence, the player will be able to engineer paths to get around hazards and salvage for protective suits to bear the tough conditions.

INDUSTRIALIZE THE NEW WORLD-

Being in a fresh and new environment means that tons of resources are ripe for the taking. After all, refined fuel and enriched uranium don't pop into the player's inventory for free. Factories must rise with well-calibrated inputs and outputs to mass produce these high demand items. Exploring new areas also isn't cheap. Huge mechanical doors block the player's path; to open the door, large amounts of complex materials must be obtained. Unfortunately, massive factories need massive power to operate effectively. This means that the player must design efficient ways to turn materials with potential energy into electricity to flow across wires.
