Techtonica, the game I've been working on at Fire Hose, is out in Early Access today. I like it a lot and I think we did a great job! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1457320/Techtonica/
Techtonica on Steam

Techtonica is a first-person factory automation game with a gripping mystery about mining your way out from the depths of an alien planet. Explore bioluminescent caves, mold destructible terrain, construct a massive subterranean factory. Dig your way toward answers & discover the secrets of Calyx.

@mogwai_poet This is my first factory automation game! I’m enjoying it so far, on Steam Deck. (The text and button graphics are a bit eye-squinty on the small screen and I expect this is a known issue.)

I haven’t actually made any automation yet; I’ve just been reusing No Man’s Sky muscle memory so far, with the crafting.

I literally just now saw the image attached to this post, showing conveyor belts feeding smelters, and said “Oh!” out loud. I think I need to play this more tonight.

@jmac Yeah, the factory automation genre requires a very specific approach/mindset and you're about to find out whether that's a good time for you
