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.

Не оптимизированный кусок говна
Gut Idee und Umsetzung, aber leider zum Release verlassen. Da wären noch einige Dinge möglich gewesen und auch das Ende selbst hätte besser gestaltet werden können. Der im Trailer gezeigte Fabrikaufbau ist auf "Normal" nicht nötig, kann aber über geänderte Einstellungen provoziert werden. Es macht Spaß und ist auch überwiegend durchdacht... aber leider wurde das Game zum Release zum ungeliebten Kind. Sehr schade, da war mehr drin!

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 2,515 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.

Resumo: Se quer um jogo de Factory com custo benefício, este vale apena, vai te dar muitas horas de gameplay, porém não espere um jogo completo. Prós: - Uma estética legal e diferente - Jetpack de início, que facilita exploração e construção - O chão que passa a energia, nada de cabos e postes para lá e para cá - História interessante como pano de fundo - Mecânicas diferentes que permitem Factories bem únicas, como a de plantas e o elevador, areia - Sistema de energia que não estrangula você como o caso do Satisfatory - Grande diversidade de receitas diferentes para os mesmos itens, ou loops de processar itens várias vezes em coisas diferentes através de um processo mais elaborado - Tech Tree interessante e bem distribuída - Possibilidade de criar loops de produção, que graças as plantas e receitas mais avançadas, deixam maioria dos recursos infinitos, a excessão de scrap e consequentemente ouro. - Jogo legendado - Boa dublagem Contras: - Praticamente nenhuma transparência da sua produção ou de receitas, diferente de Satisfactory ou Dyson Sphere você não consegue rastrear bem as receitas e onde são produzidas - Pouca transparência dos números, você precisa colocar a receita na máquina para saber quanto é produzido e qual a frequência - Encontrei pouco material de suporte como a Wiki ou Calculator, estão ambos desatualizados na data do comentário - Balanceamento incorreto de alguns itens, o que parece fazer que em níveis mais avançados você tem que achar um jeito "esconder"(enfiar em baús) certos recursos pois você não usa tanto quanto produz enquanto ele é subproduto de outro que você usa aos montes. - Ter que escanear ruinas para poder limpar elas, as mesmas não conectarem com plataformas e você tem que apagar e recolocar Minhas impressões: O Jogo é bem divertido, em alguns momentos senti muita dificuldade de conseguir organizar, porém como estava entre minhas primeiras vezes jogando a versão finalizada e descobrindo enquanto jogava, é compreensível, porém senti que muitas partes podiam ter sido mais polidas e não foram, que o jogo foi lançado de forma "prematura". Acredito que se o jogo tivesse tido mais oportunidade de novos patchs, em especial de qualidade de vida, ele teria sido um concorrente forte para outros como o Satisfactory, mas ao invés disso parece que foi abandonado de forma incompleta e lançada uma 1.0 apenas par "encerrar" o projeto. O Jogo é divertido, dá boas horas de gameplay, mas você poderá sentir que muitas vezes terá de refazer tudo novamente e que o jogo não te ajuda muito nisso comparado a outros do gênero.
I myself love this game but I love factory games.
重いです
The lategame is atrociously bloated and this is a factory game WITHOUT basic factory game features like: - Copying/Paste (It exists, but always breaks in functionality until you reload the savefile) - Blueprints don't exist at all. - Freight Trains (Mono-Rails are 1:1 Trains, not being able to have multiple drop-off points is horrible) There's also the major issue that you have to actually DIG out space for factory expansion, this feels bad as its both bad performance wise and not automateable and you can't make it more efficient outside of the existing Terraforming upgrades that suck. The ending felt too open ended. You don't actually get to finish whatever you did and the warning that going through the end scene is unnecessary as it allows you to continue playing regardless.
