Mob Factory is an interesting game that I can recommend, but not strongly.
What I liked about this game was the idea of funneling the monsters you kill back into your defenses. However, it just barely succeeds in this endeavor. In the beginning, all seems fine as you figure out the different buildings and how monster paths work. As you progress though you start to notice how your automation keeps demanding more new resources, but completely throws away anything previously built. Instead of the game continuously building upon the automation you've created, it exchanges innovation for throwing you something new and saying "only work with that," thus making a repetitive cycle of disappointment where you constantly move on without looking back. End game tries to remedy this a little by forcing you to work with previous end game mobs, but it only lasts a short while.
The game isn't bad by any means; I genuinely like what it tries to do. However, it is just okay. It lacks a lot of depth and complexity that other games like Factorio, Satisfactory, or Mindustry has, so that automation itch won't be scratched if that's what you're looking for.
