What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We’re in Early Access because the game is a complete, satisfying experience, and we still have lots of content to add. Part of that means working with and listening to our engaged, excited, and active community. Early Access allows us to develop and grow Techtonica in conjunction with the evolving needs and requests from our players.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Techtonica will exit Early Access into 1.0 on Nov 7 2024!”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“See our Roadmap for more detailed information on all the content we’ll be adding to 1.0. In short, 1.0 is going to be a huge upgrade from the current version.

Note: Techtonica 1.0 will not be compatible with current Early Access saves”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“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 12 languages.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Techtonica's price will remain the same after Early Access.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We launched our closed Alpha in 2022 and have involved our community in our development process ever since. We have an active, growing Discord with thousands of members (please join!) and dedicated feedback channels there. We also monitor feedback here in the Steam Forums and on our website. We regularly dedicate development time specifically to responding to this player-generated feedback and requests.”

Roadmap

About This Game

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.

Full Story Campaign

‘Techtonica’ is the only factory automation game to offer a complete, fully voice-acted campaign to play through. Something unknown awaits you beneath the surface of Calyx, Groundbreaker. Untangle and revive the efforts of an expedition gone wrong with the help of cubic companions who have motives, personalities, and secrets of their own.

Build Machines

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 dig higher to the surface.

Explore & Discover

Exploration pays off in Techtonica. Tunnel your way to massive ore deposits, research-rich facilities, and hidden caves to find new technologies, scan aging artifacts, and learn more about the mysteries of this world.

Terraform Entire Caves

Obliterate stone walls with a black hole gun. Drain deserts of sand with towering pumps to uncover what lies beneath. Sculpt the world to fit your subterranean vision.

Create Beautiful, Sprawling Factories

Take your mining operation to new depths by constructing sprawling, efficient factories. Automate production lines with Conveyor Belts and Inserters and a wide cast of machines. Deck out your factory with Eco-Brutalist Base Building parts.

FACTORY AUTOMATION. Conveyor belts and unique travel systems make sprawling, automated factories easier to build, connect, and traverse.
