Factorio but with unreliable components

Rely is a small automation puzzle where every sorter you place has a chance to get it wrong, so you chain shaky parts on a grid of conveyor belts, test against a 50% reference, and send rejects into the pit until what comes out the far end is reliable. It's a clever twist on the Factorio-style belt layout: you aren't optimizing throughput, you're designing redundancy, which feels a lot like real engineering. The browser beta is short (a tutorial plus three scenarios), but that's enough to see whether the idea grabs you.
