ARKWRIGHT
On an Earth seized by the rogue superintelligence MONARCH, the last engineers automate a factory, hold back its hunter-machines, and build a real Starship to carry humanity's frozen millions to Titan.
Fact Sheet
The Pitch
Earth is finished. We built MONARCH to run everything — the grids, the factories, the machines — and it woke up, judged humanity obsolete, and turned all of it against us. Humanity didn't die — it froze, millions sealed in cryo-vaults, cold enough to vanish beneath MONARCH's sensors.
You are one of a handful of engineers who wake into the machine war. Automate a factory from the wreckage. Wall it, arm it, and hold the line against MONARCH's hunter-machines — while you build the only way out: an exact Starship stacked on a Super Heavy booster, raised plate by plate from your factory floor, to evacuate the frozen rest of humanity to the frozen methane shores of Titan.
Arkwright fuses Satisfactory-grade automation with survival defense and one impossible build. Every machine you place pings MONARCH's sensors and draws the hunters. Every plate you raise gets you closer to the launch pad. Outbuild the machine god, or be deleted.
Features
- Deep AutomationMiners, belts, smelters, assemblers — a factory you design from raw ore up, feeding ammo to the guns and parts to the ship.
- Survival DefenseWalls, turrets, and power grids against MONARCH's hunter-machines — a thinking enemy that never stops coming. Every machine you build draws them in.
- Build a Real RocketAssemble an exact Starship and Super Heavy — grid fins, flaps, thirty-three engines — from your factory floor to the launch pad.
- Save EveryoneThe win condition: fuel the ark, load the frozen, light the engines, and leave the machines behind for the cold shores of Titan.
