hook	You are the sole engineer of an autonomous deep-sea mining fleet — design the systems, route the conveyors, manage the pressure bands, and keep the abyss from swallowing what you built.
idea source / inspiration	Research into the 2026 automation/factory sim market (Belts of Iron at https://store.steampowered.com/app/3427850/Belts_of_Iron/, shapez 2 at https://store.steampowered.com/app/2162800/, Modulus at https://store.steampowered.com/app/2779120/Modulus_Factory_Automation/, and genre analysis at https://gamefoundry.games/blog/automation-games-explained-2026) revealed that every major factory sim is set on a surface world and all environmental threats are handled through combat. Cross-referencing Aquatico (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1812300/Aquatico/), the leading underwater game on Steam, confirmed that no factory automation sim has claimed the deep-sea setting. Pressure Lines was designed to fill that gap: depth-band pressure ratings replace tier upgrades, directional ocean currents replace standard belt efficiency, and managing seismic noise rather than shooting enemies introduces a stealth-through-optimization vocabulary new to the genre.
cover image prompt	An isometric deep-sea automated factory complex seen from above, sprawling amber-lit conveyor belts and industrial rigs on a black ocean floor, bioluminescent teal-orange vents glowing in the background, tall vertical riser towers extending upward into dark murky indigo water, stylized siphonophore megafauna drifting at the edges, cinematic industrial mood, 16:9 composition, no text, no UI, no logos, no recognisable faces
prompt summary	weekly PC game concept, automation/factory sim, grounded in current genre research
