Swarmdustry

Swarmdustry is a factory building strategy game where you command the relentless evolution of the Swarm. Unlike machines of steel and wire, your production network is alive, fleshy and ever adapting. Hatch workers, harvest resources, carry energy, automate production, and weave sprawling colonies of organic industry that pulse with growth. Every structure, unit, and pathway you build is part of a living ecosystem. As your hive expands, you’ll unlock new genetic codes to accelerate growth, mutate workers into specialized types, and develop true automation. But you’re not alone on this world. Enemy factions wielding cold machines and radiant energy will challenge your expansion, striking at your hive. To survive, you must balance efficiency and ferocity while designing both production lines and defensive strategies that embody the hunger of the Swarm. Will your hive wither under pressure, or spread across the planet like a living tide? Seed-based procedurally generated infinite map . You may enable or disable enemies, trees or even water. You may adjust enemy difficulty and scaling, the safe starting area, amount of trees and water, as well as the richness and frequency of resources. Build and grow your swarm . Mining and crafting manually can only get you so far. Build massive networks of trails and transit pads to deliver resources to your processors which come in different flavors. Manage your workers. Your industry will only work as long as it is manned by different swarm workers, such as Movers, Miners, Fireflies, Acflies, Jumpers, and Drones. Each type of unit has its own single purpose to keep the swarm going. Distribute energy across the hive . Some swarm buildings require energy to function, while others require fuel such as coal and wood. Make sure fireflies deliver this energy to your buildings using the spire network that you will be designing carefully as they follow the path of least resistance. Unlock the full potential of the swarm . In order to evolve your swarm, you will have to unlock genetic codes at the Genetic Chamber. This will unlock much of industrial capacity of the hive. Automate building . Building a mega swarm base is possible thanks to Drones that will place buildings for you. You only have to copy and paste, and they will do the rest. Defend or attack . As your hive grows, so will the creep generated from your buildings will spread further and further. A robotic civilization living on the planet will form waves to attack your base. You must take care of them, or they will take care of you. Bloodflies and Feastlings may be used to overwhelm your foes. Remember, quantity over quality is the way of the swarm. Multi-threaded core gameplay loop . That's right. For fans of technical implementations, this game is designed to work not only on lower end machines, but also scale up the more cores your CPU has. Add, remove or modify any recipe, building, unit and technology with integrated mod tools. Add your own basic or advanced scripts to run on top of the game's code easily. Modding Swarmdustry will feel very familiar if you've modded games before. You can upload to Steam workshop directly from within the game and even play with mods offline!
