Jaden Industries: Cozy Automation Puzzler

Welcome to the Jaden Industries, Engineer - a calm Archipelago of floating islands awaiting exploration. As an Engineer on an airship expedition, your task is to set up production across the skies by designing elegant systems of extraction, transport, and refinement. And even, maybe, you can try to uncover the mysteries at the heart of the Archipelago. Each island is a self-contained engineering puzzle where precision and creativity shape the outcome. Connect conveyors, mixers, and processing machines to transform elemental resources into complex alchemical products - from raw dust to bottled elixirs or astral fabric.
