What is SteamWorld Build?

SteamWorld Build is an upcoming single-player game developed by The Station and published by Thunderful Publishing. It has three main genres – city builder, simulation and strategy. The planned release date is the 1st of December 2023. Below there are more details about SteamWorld Build.

In SteamWorld Build, you must escape a dying planet by building a mining town to dig up vital long-lost technology. Meet the ever-growing needs of your citizens, trade resources and defend your mine from the creatures that lurk below.

The main features of SteamWorld Build are:

• Set in the multi-award-winning SteamWorld Universe
• Build your own unique SteamWorld mining town
• Explore and develop an abandoned mine
• Manage and optimize increasingly complex resource chains
• Tackle the dangers you will encounter
• Experience five distinctive SteamWorld-inspired maps littered with secrets
• Easy to pick up and play with a keyboard and mouse or with a controller
• Three well-balanced difficulty levels give a challenge to players of all abilities

Be the architect of a SteamWorld mining town! Break ground and raise houses for your steambot citizens, keep them fed and provide some rootin’-tootin’ entertainment. There’s an abandoned mine sitting under your town, and it’s rumored to be filled with ancient tech that holds the key to escaping the impending doom. Use the natural resources above ground and the abundant ores buried in the mine to expand your town. Stimulate new residential tiers to join the quest to dig deeper, unearth untold riches and ultimately help them to hightail it off the planet!

As the town expands in all directions, new kinds of steamfolk find their way to the settlement – and their needs are ever more complex to satisfy. To keep everyone content, you’ll need to make sure everyone works their darn hardest. Buy items to boost the efficiency of buildings. Keep goods flowing up and down the mine by speeding up the miners with encouraging jolts of electricity. Or just barter at the local train station and get what you need that way. It’s all up to you!

As you go hunting deeper and deeper in the mine after riches, eventually something will start hunting you back. Defend your workers from creepy creatures and keep the walls from caving in as you explore the deeper levels of your mine.

SteamWorld Build can be found on Steam, Epic Games Store, Gog for PC users. But it is also available for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, and Xbox.
