Find The Needle blends agricultural simulation with factory automation and incremental warehouse management

Find The Needle is a first-person automation simulator where players search endless haystacks for hidden needles, process hay into goods, and construct automated factories.

Manual Excavation and Hand Tools

• The protagonist wakes inside an enclosed warehouse with a single command to find needles.
• Initial excavation begins manually using simple shovels and hand-held metal detectors.
• Workers purchase buckets, pitchforks, wheelbarrows, and industrial vacuums to clear debris.
• Selling processed hay generates starter capital needed to procure motorized processing equipment.
• Manual tools allow players to sift through early layers before industrial machines take over.

Conveyor Belts and Automated Sorting

• Operations transition from hand labor to continuous industrial assembly lines.
• Engineers lay conveyor belts, balers, and robotic arms to transport material automatically.
• Automated sorting machines and high-speed scanners sift through fibers to detect metal fragments.
• Connecting electrical wiring powers autonomous drones and mechanized wrappers across the floor.

Agricultural Manufacturing and Products

• Raw hay converts into marketable goods including hay pulp, paper sheets, and pellets.
• Compression presses transform loose foliage into dense eco bricks and bound agricultural bales.
• Diverse production chains yield steady revenue streams to finance warehouse expansion.
• Refined processing methods maximize financial returns from every extracted cartload.

Technology Upgrades and Factory Growth

• A comprehensive technology tree offers over 300 upgrades for industrial equipment.
• Research unlocks advanced machinery that improves sorting throughput and belt speeds.
• Factory layouts expand to accommodate larger storage yards and sophisticated sorting hubs.
• The mystery behind the sealed warehouse unravels as players collect every hidden needle.
