About
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.

Reviews
I would easily recommend this for a casual craft like game. The lore is good. It really did sadden me to know it was a closed project with no further updates and whatnot, but for what it is, I could still happily waste so many hours in this game. Got it on Steam after spending 100+ hours on Xbox.
J'ai pris le jeu en solde, après sa sortie en 1.0. Beaucoup d'avis négatifs sont liés au changement de direction de gestion de la map, et je peux comprendre la frustration. Par contre, le jeu étant ce qu'il est, l'opti n'étant pas au top, si le jeu consistait en une seule map, il serait rapidement injouable. Concernant le jeu en lui même, l'early/mid game est sympa, et assez fun. L'endgame par contre est une purge selon moi parce que déjà, c'est pas fun, et ensuite, c'est littéralement de l'opti massive pour allonger la durée de vie du jeu artificiellement. En solde, le jeu est sympa, il peut occuper. Mais attendez vous à un mur de grind pour arriver au bout de celui-ci.

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 23 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 14 places towards #1, and the 2,420 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

7/10 but unfinished
RECOMENDED
Wie kann es sein das so ein nicht spielbarer schrott hier verkauft wird?! Es bleibt mitlerweile nach 5-10min stehen so das nichts mehr geht und man es nur noch beenden kann, auch eure tipps um dieses zu lösen sind einfach nur für die tonne... Wird hier überhaupt noch was gemacht? Fazit: Im moment NICHT spielbar und ich würde jedem vom kauf abraten!
игра интересная, но в моментах не понятно
unplayable in coop, dont buy, only playable with techtonica mod leader and the 'crusherperformancefix' otherwise low fps as your automation grows, poorly designed, not maintained anymore. dislike. unfinished. end is unnecessary prolonged
Developers dont care about the players
Много хороших задумок, но: 1) 3-10 fps. На минимальных настройках. Чем больше строишь разных объектов тем больше лагов. аж играть невозможно. 2) Не выполняется задание Альтернативный рецепт и поэтому не выполнить все достижения в стиме. 3) Песок бесконечный. Начиная с 12 этажа постоянно сыпет песок. Затягивание игры. Выкопал песок так за суток 2е реального времени. Отвлекся на другие дела. Что то пошло не по плану и песком засыпает опять по самую верхушку. И всё с начала. 4) Раскопка Кротом постоянная пространственная дыра на весь экран бесит. Сделайте возможность визуального отключения этой дыры. Играть интересно до 12 этажа дальше одни мучения. Повторяюсь идей хороших много, НО 3 fps зачеркивают все плюсы.
