Energy First
Energy puzzles charge the battery. Every machine cycle depends on available power, battery capacity, generator output, and clock mode.
Sci-fi incremental factory automation
Build from first spark to stellar megastructure
PowerScale is a browser game about energy, machines, crafting chains, and long-form sci-fi progression. Solve puzzles to charge your battery, spend that power on production, and scale a small factory into orbital industry.
Machine Automation
Miners, Smelters, Constructors, Assemblers, Fabricators, and Orbital Fabricators turn raw materials into advanced systems through recipe chains.
Dyson Goals
Late-game orbital production feeds a star map where players build Dyson spheres around real stars for permanent additive bonuses.
What You Do In PowerScale
The core loop is simple to understand and deep enough to plan around: solve energy puzzles, power machines, produce resources, unlock better recipes, expand the factory, and push into the next tier. Each tier adds new materials and new production problems, from iron and copper to fusion systems and orbital construction.
Players can pin recipes, manage machine slots, tune machine clock speeds, install generators, upgrade permanent systems, and earn offline progress when away. The game is designed for both desktop and mobile browsers.
Progression Overview
Tier 1 - Iron Bootstrap: iron ore, ingots, plates, rods, screws, gears, Miner, Smelter, and Constructor foundations.
Tier 2 - Copper Electricity: copper parts, battery cells, control units, electrical chains, and the Assembler.
Tier 3 - Coal Industry: coal, carbon materials, hardened iron, motors, industrial frames, generator kits, battery upgrades, generator systems, and the Fabricator.
Tier 4 - Aluminium Expansion: aluminium parts, cooling units, advanced machine cores, and advanced solar production.
Tier 5 - Gold and Quartz Electronics: precision circuits, optical sensors, logic boards, computation cores, and navigation systems.
Tier 6 - Platinum Precision: regulators, grid controllers, control cores, stabilized circuits, and quantum sensors.
Tier 7 - Titanium Infrastructure: orbital-grade frames, reactor housings, structural lattices, thermal shields, and orbital machine cores.
Tier 8 - High-Energy Systems: fusion coils, reactor cores, high-capacity batteries, fusion generators, planetary power cores, and orbital power cores.
Tier 9 - Orbital Launch: rockets, Dyson components, orbital fabrication, star selection, and Dyson sphere construction.
Alpha Status
PowerScale is currently in alpha. Systems may change, balance may be adjusted, bugs may appear, and progress resets can happen while the game evolves. Player feedback during this stage helps shape the factory, pacing, tutorials, upgrades, and long-term progression.
