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!

Good medium-ish idle game. Not great or in-depth, but it does the job
good idler, better sound effects and general creative direction than most others around and it's got a bit of story in there too even with the "best in slot" or optimizing progression there's still room to fiddle around with personal preference of what you'd like to do so not every run would look the same an eighth of this playtime was actually spent playing the game btw, the rest is letting it run on another screen or while I did chores as offline progress was an unlock or I wanted to do the active stuff as I was right at the cusp of finishing a repair/upgrade before closing for the evening

Using the allowed space to build an efficient little robot is quite fulfilling. Prestige mechanic is a little uninspired but feels okay. Overall worth the price.
Excellent blend of things to do with little to no pressure. Very chill yet engaging, can build it into an idle game or do things manually.
An awesome incremental title with a fascinating power generation mechanic which takes a while to figure out how to optimize, but the power generation is simply that feature which underlies the generation of several other resources. Tons of possible combinations of engine parts that you can mix and match in an expandable space, several factions to barter with, an interesting narrative/world to learn about, etc. It took me 200 hours to complete, and was easily worth the $5 I paid for it. You should buy it.
Best fiver I have spent in a long time... only got a couple of hours but in it but its so easy to just space out and just enjoy the whole vibe of it. Clicker / idle games not normally my thing but I like you can play this by actually doing stuff while things click on works for me.
Your time will melt away as you can't help but to keep scavenging and exploring the map!!!
Good long idler.
I do like it. $5.00 for a few hours of content is ok and cheap when compared to other real life entertainments. For a game, it feels like it could be so much more and has a really good start, but once you hit a couple hours, it gets repetitive. The upgrades are minimal to none and the new game+ is just very minimal upgrades that doesn't drastically change the game. I would neutral this post if i could, but I do think it's worth no more than 5 bucks at least.
I can't believe I'm saying this about and idle game but definitely in my top ten games
