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 is now available through Early Access on PC (Steam) as well as Xbox, (also on Xbox Game Pass) for $29.99 with a 15% launch discount, and will remain so for about 3 years.

“We feel great about where Techtonica is today. Many players have spent hundreds of hours exploring Calyx and building massive factories. 4 player co-op means you can build and dig with your friends. Also, in-game dialogue is fully voiced in English, and text is localized for 10 languages.”

“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.”

“Techtonica will likely be in Early Access for approximately three years. We have an ambitious narrative planned and a growing set of factory features that will combine to make Techtonica a trailblazing experience. When those things are in place and our Early Access community is happy, we’ll launch Techtonica to 1.0.”
