About
IDLE_DIRECTIVE is a grid-based inventory and resource management idle game. Idly gather and manage resources to repair what's left of a decaying world. Scavenge forgotten ruins, meet scattered survivors, and push back against the inevitable collapse.
Balance limited inventory space by being strategic with your items and equipment! Available items include:
Utility items that aid you in your mission
Automation items that automate gameplay
Storage containers to expand your limited inventory
Resource producers
Manually, or idly gather various resource types to upgrade and improve yourself!
Explore a dying world filled with hidden points of interest (POIs). While many locations offer loot and resources, critical infrastructure that require repair is your prime directive and should be sought out.
The world is not lifeless, pockets of life still exist. Trade resources or aid survivors to build up your reputation, unlocking unique and powerful items or equipment in return.
RESET SYSTEM and gain powerful augment points that you can use to unlock powerful permanent upgrades to aid you in your directive. IDLE_DIRECTIVE features crafting, trade, and NPC tasks that are unlocked later on through Augmentation!

Indescritivel, para quem gosta de idle e quer jogar algo novo e diferente
i got what i wanted: inventory management and resource management in a desolate world. fun!
Fun gameplay loop in general. Cool concept and the overall gameplay is fun. Whil there are some pretty major issues like progression system being weirdly balanced and the early mid game being a bit tedious, but in general the game is pretty fun. It does feel a bit strange when you realise you can just spam amp upgrades to get like 100m capacity and 1m per second energy generation, but the core loop prior to this is good fun. Its good idle game to play in the background while you are working, but it could definitely do with some changes to let you get the idle loop going a lot earlier. Recent QoL patches have been good :)

I'm giving this a positive review cause for the first couple runs through the wasteland I was enjoying myself. The 3rd I was enjoying less so and the 4th would've required more resources than I felt like collecting all at once. Not a bad value for the price though.
We need Chinese!!!! This game has a good setting, but in the later stages, it feels extremely repetitive. I'm currently in the third cycle. I just unlocked the tasks and blueprint creation, but it doesn't seem very meaningful to me. However, after playing for a whole day in the second cycle, I have already unlocked the destination station. In the third cycle, it just doesn't seem interesting at all. I'm too tired and don't have the energy to continue playing. 这个游戏设定很好,但是后期明显感觉重复度太高。我现在第三次循环,刚解锁了任务和蓝图制造,感觉意义不大。、但是第二循环玩儿了一天,已经解锁终点站了。第三循环就感觉没啥意思,太累了,肝不动了。
Good for the price. Could still use some minor QOL tweaks. Would like to see upgraded parts gain new connections, allow flipping in addition to rotation, change model etc. Especially when they are upgraded to 50/100/150 etc.
cool timesink is all I'm going to say
Really good game, even more so if you also prefer games you can actually play instead of just letting them idle, as you can both play the game or leave it alone (after unlocking that option) and come back later. Also, the dev listens to feedback and is implementing QOL. It's also cheap as * considering how good it is, which surprised me. This one is really easy to recommend.
Fun little game. Very active for an idler, well worth the price tag.
good and unique ideas. After some time its an actual IDLE game if you want to.
