Work alone or in co-op to build factories, gather resources, research new technologies, mold the destructible terrain, establish a base of operations, and uncover long-forgotten secrets.
Welcome to the strangely beautiful, bioluminescent, and mysterious sub-surface alien world of Techtonica. You’ll begin with only the basics for digging, mining, and resource production.
Discovering everything in Techtonica demands unique equipment, power, and resources. Build specialized machines to optimize gathering and production as you arm yourself with the tools needed to go further and deeper.
Connect a network of machines and resources with conveyor belts and lifts that enable you to automate your lines of production and optimize your factory’s flow.
Take mining and production to new heights by constructing sprawling, efficient factories and turning the alien caverns into your base of operations. Bend the ground to your will to make and clear space for your machines.
Exploration pays off in Techtonica. Tunnel your way to massive ore deposits and secret, hidden caves to find rewards and scan aging artifacts. You’ll unlock new recipes for enhanced automation systems and even more powerful technology.
Fire Hose Games announced that Techtonica will launch through Steam Early Access in Summer 2023.
“We feel great about where Techtonica is today. We have specific players who have already explored Calyx for hundreds of hours. Up-to-four-player co-op will be available at Early Access launch, so you’ll be able to build and dig with your friends. Our final vision for Techtonica includes a complete, engaging story that brings purpose to factory automation on Calyx; a challenging end-game that will push player factory-building abilities to their limits; procedural content that creates a wealth of replayability; a diverse host of environments below the surface of Calyx; more machines; more factory systems; and even gameplay-enhancing achievements.”
“We set out to make a different kind of automation game with Techtonica,” shared Eitan Glinert, President of Fire Hose Games. “One with a story that explains who you are and why you're building your factory. We set the game on the alien world Calyx, a rogue planet drifting through the void, where you must dig below the surface to discover a vibrant cave system full of beautiful glowing life. On top of that, we built a layered mystery for you to peel back while you construct a complex ecosystem of machines. Techtonica has grown so much since we started back in 2019, and we can't wait to share our creation with fans.”
