A text-art factory game inspired by Minecraft tech modpacks.

A 40-second tour: digging clay on the map with both hands at work, spearing a deer and cutting up its carcass in the gathering window, the bag and the equipment figure, striking on the beat at the workbench, laying a first steam-age line by hand and setting it running, and the item index

How it plays

Find veins on the map and mine them, build machines, place them on your base board and link them with lines. At first you hammer plates and wind springs by hand. Once a steam engine is up, the factory starts running on its own.

  • Production design: each node is one machine with six ports. The game is how you wire materials, power and by-products.
  • Power: springs store force, and steam engines share their output among machines up to a limit. Go past it and everything slows down together. Moving items along a line also uses power.
  • Liquids: water and coal tar can't be carried by hand. Pipe them through lines or fill drums.
  • Exploration: the map is endless and generated from a seed. Veins come in scarce, normal and rich grades.
  • Survival: health, hunger and seasons. Rivers and mountains are dangerous, and if you collapse you lose what you were carrying.
  • Node editor: search, line-type highlighting, copy and paste, blueprints, grouping and zoom.
