[☢GAMMA☢]

Is this game based on the love death a robots episode with mech farmers? very very strange, Maybe they will add bugs down the line

Devs have said that it wasn't based on that episode. Also that farm animals will be in a future update, no nasties.

There could be any number of settings that inspired this game. The setting of Battletech has industrial, construction, and agriculture mechs. In Japan, Patlabor has Labors (piloted mecha) doing everything from small-village farming to deep-sea construction, Labors for the military and police, and even a parking-ticket and traffic Labor.

We get some glimpses of civilian mobile suits in Gundam, especially in the Universal Century era. Older Macross concept art often had civilian destroids for heavy industry. Fang of the Sun: Dougram also had civilian mecha. Appleseed and Intron Depot gave us open-top, 4 meter-tall, powered-armor for a jaunt to the beach.

On a less Japanese note, The Electric State graphic novel and other art by Simon Stalenhag is replete with scenes of large autonomous robots that were (or still are) performing tasks that once were handled by humans with large vehicles and heavy machinery.

And that is just the few I can recall off the top of my head!

Too much of a coincidence and resemblance to call it random inspiration. Clearly a rip-off from Love, Death, Robots.

They can say it all they want but the episode dropped in March 2019. It's been five years. Everyone is going to draw the conclusion that the devs watched the episode and realized nobody had made a mech farming game.

The art style is nearly identical.

I wouldn't mind something like this, maybe make it a late game add on or... a custom world option? I kinda like the uber peaceful slice of life that it is now. But... that ep of LDR was pretty damn epic.

Was my first thought! I am missing the bug invasion. This would be so lit and i would buy it! Like a round based horde game with farming and building up your eco. With turrets to defend and different mechs farm and get rid of the bugs :D

First thought that came to mind when I saw this on the store. The episode is called "Suits" and when I first saw it years ago I was like "I would totally play that if it were a game."

A little disappointing they went with a peaceful/casual implementation. I'd want to blast bugs away in those mech suits.

The founding developers had not seen the episode "Suits" when they started development, so the resemblance is purely a coincidence! Evidently there's a lot of people thinking about the combination of mechs and farming, haha. A few of us who joined the team later decided to finally watch it a few months ago, but there are members of the team who still haven't seen it.

I'm told early iterations of the game turned out surprisingly similar to "Suits", but the decision was made to lean into more peaceful gameplay.

If you want some "Suits" experience, u can look into The Riftbreaker game. It has bugs :)
