Port Authority

Port Authority is a slow-burn simulation about running a small harbour: routing ships, stacking containers and keeping the whole thing flowing. It scratched an itch I didn't know I had.

There's a real satisfaction in watching a bottleneck you fixed disappear. It's not fast, and it won't be for everyone, but if you like tidying systems this is quietly addictive.

The tutorial is a little dry and the early hours can feel thin, but once your port grows the optimisation puzzle really opens up.
