schade zweite runde und level 5 keine lust mehr auf spiel warum eigentlich es sieht doch gut aus es ist der treibstoff für deine fabriken strom ist kein problem aber für die anderen maschin brauchst du regelmässig treibstoff das heist für dich das du jedes mal alles die nicht auf strom basieren du jedes mal ablaufen musst oder es gleich so groß bauen das du alles gleich anschließen kannst es ist mir zu aufwendig für etliche sachen gefühlt stunden warten zu müssen bis mal was fertig ist
Paguei por Techtonica acreditando que teria um jogo completo, com promessas de evolução e conteúdo. Porém, a desenvolvedora simplesmente lançou a versão 1.0 e abandonou o projeto sem sequer terminar o que começou. O jogo ficou cheio de problemas, lacunas na história e sistemas inacabados. É revoltante ver tanto potencial ser jogado fora por descaso. Como consumidor, me sinto enganado - pagamos por algo que parecia em desenvolvimento ativo, mas o estúdio apenas encerrou tudo como se estivesse concluído. Uma pena ver um jogo tão promissor acabar assim.

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 22 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,513 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.

super
Possibly just next automation game. Yet nice one and playable. Most important - there is some story behind.
Great game!
A limited tech tree with lots of receipes, nice graphics and a bit of adventure. aka a fun automation game!
very fun factory builder
Sehr gutes Spiel, hat mich gefesselt. Leider wurde es für mich ganz am Ende auf Grund des Einbruches der Performance unspielbar.
Не работает КООП
I started playing the game with version 0.3 and was initially completely blown away by the vast world, all the content, the game structure, and the gameplay style, which strongly reminded me of a mix between Factorio and Satisfactory. Then the problems started: the performance suffered, and I often played for long periods with less than 20 FPS. When further major updates were announced, I felt little improvement in performance. Instead, many unnecessary features were added, such as teleporters (I actually enjoy running around my factory or gliding along the conveyor belts or other transport systems) and a laser tag feature, which didn't really make sense for me as a single-player. The most performance I was also excited about a new map, which was only available up to version 0.5. However, with the release of version 1.0, it was removed (for whatever reason). Starting with version 1.0, the once beautiful large world was split into many smaller sections, forcing you to always use the elevator to progress further. All the wonderful feeling I had up to version 0.5, along with my goal of building a large, structured factory, was taken away with version 1.0. I have closed the chapter of "Being Enthusiastic About Techtonica" for myself after unlocking all Steam achievements (which only happened with the help of other players), as there were bugs preventing the recognition of the final achievement). After the last update, however, I completely lost interest in the game and the game lost me.
