With the launch of Satisfactory 1.0 and Factorio Space Age, it's a good time to be a fan of making intricate stacks of machinery that handle all your work for you. Joining the roster is Techtonica 1.0, which might be the prettiest automation sandbox game I've seen so far. Set in a beautiful, bioluminescent fantasy world, Techtonica combines the factory-building elements you love with large-scale world terraforming reminiscent of Astroneer and a mysterious narrative in the style of Subnautica, and you can jump in for cheap thanks to a generous Steam sale discount to celebrate its arrival out of early access.
