As simple as I could put it, Economous is a game where you have things that you collect resources from to make more things. The game takes place on a floating island, and you start with a tree and a factory. The Tree produces 3 wood per minute, and The Factory produces 3 Spark Stones per minute. Spark Stones are what powers everything in the Economous world. Do you want to make a machine that needs to be powered? You're gonna need a few Spark Stones for that. You can use resources to make more machines to place on the island and make more resources that way.
