In this simulation, you are playing an engineer. Engineers are expected to solve real world problems without a safety net or a cheat sheet - or a manual with all the answers. School books that have the answers in the back (or in the teacher's book) don't exist in the working world.

That's because most real world problems don't have solutions yet, otherwise the companies wouldn't need engineers - persons whose jobs it is to come up with design solutions to problems not found in books. This game is a simulation where you are the engineer.

By the way, Shenzhen I/O is much more player-friendly than the previous game Zachtronics made, TIS-100.
