Almost a Tinkerer is a game inspired by shapez.io, factorio and little big workshop, that we created as part of our semester project.

The main gameplay consists of placing factories and conveyers on a grid in order to gather ressources and transform them, eventually combining them to make furniture.

As you advance through the story line, new buildings will be unlocked and will be required to make more complicated products. Eventually, you'll be delivering furniture.


The game doesn't have any puzzle aspects, it's a purely play and relax kind of game. You are free to build whatever you want, and as soon as you are done with the main story line, you will get one last building (the splitter), which allows more complicated builds. The game does not have an end, feel free to create mazes of conveyers and factories that produce large amounts of furniture.

i keep getting a crash report when i try to run it through the itch app on mac.do you know how to troubleshoot this issue

how do i use a .jar file?

I love the game, but I think the splitter should be unlocked earlier than the very end of the game.

Thanks for the feedback! And sorry for the late reply, I didn’t have the time for it.

If I get back to working on the game I’ll put this on the TODO list, I agree that would make the early game a lot more organized.

Hi! I would like to launch the game but I get this Java error

My Java version is 17.0.1 and I am running Linux Mint 64 bits

Thanks in advance :)

Hi, I built a new version that uses a new backend, can you give it a try see if it fixes your problem? You can find it on the game page under downloads as aatinkerer-1.0-lwjgl3-alpha.jar.

Keep me updated :)
