Fire Hose Games has announced its new game, Techtonica. It’s a first-person factory builder where you will be building and optimising complex factories, that can be automated, all set inside a network of caves of some alien planet. You can play solo or co-op with up to four players.
Aside from that, you can also go explore the caves and unravel the secrets that lie within them.
Does it sound a lot like Coffee Stain’s Satisfactory? It sure does.
But Techtonica brings its own twist to this sub-genre. You get to do some terraforming, by way of digging away the cave walls to make room for your platforms and factories.
The assembly line has a small twist too when compared to Satisfactory- you don’t build conveyor lines that goes inside the machinery in Techtonica, the machines will grab parts that are on the conveyor belt perpendicular to it, and will place them back on the same line. So that’s a different kind of conveyor belt spaghetti that you can create here.
Plus, having the whole setting set in the sub-surface area instead of being just one of many biomes should give Techtonica a distinct look. The bioluminescent flora looks lovely.
Thre’s no release date yet for Techtonica, but there is a Steam page for the game right now.
