So this started popping up in the factory-builder yutub circles. Not sure what to think yet. They just launched a kickstarter yesterday and the release date is supposedly a year away. Right now only yutubers have codes for the pre-alpha version.
Looks euro-jank as all hell, but Soviet Republic also isn't exactly the prettiest game ever, and that's a superb game. Who knows. All the people playing it right now are raving how good it is. I guess we'll see. The way they handled mining looks kinda neat though, I like how you actually carve into ground and create quarries.
Captain of Industry is a construction and management simulation game where you and your loyal crew escaped to an abandoned island to start a new colony after the world has spiraled into chaos. In order to survive, you will need to mine raw materials, harvest food, build factories, manufacture products, construct vehicles, research new technologies, and explore your surroundings. If you are successful, you can even start a space program, build rockets, and assemble your own space station! With all that power and technology, you might be even able to end the word chaos. It's all in your hands.
Manufacture products
Start simple - smelt iron, mix concrete, create construction parts, and grow food. Soon you will be able to expand into crude oil processing, electronics, solar panels, datacenters, and even rocket parts. There are over 100 unique products to work with!
Build efficient factories
To build an industrial empire, you need to be clever. Place machines carefully to connect them more efficiently with conveyor belts. Refine raw resources close to their mining location to save fuel needed for transportation.
Shape fully dynamic terrain
No mountain is tall enough for your fleet of excavators! You can shape your island to your will - build natural bridges and ramps to access remote areas. Are you running out of space? How about dumping some rocks into the ocean to create new land!
Mine raw resources
Find the natural riches of your land and use them to expand your factories. Mine coal, iron, copper, gold, or pump underground water!
Farm your land
You need to feed your people. Start basic by growing some potatoes on farms. But this won't be enough. Later, use fertilizers and advanced greenhouses to keep up with the food demands.
Research new technologies
Research is a must have! Unlock new buildings and materials and make your factory more efficient. New technologies will change the course of your future.
Construct new vehicles
Trucks, excavators, and tree harvesters! Upgrade your fleet to make the most of it but make sure you are producing enough fuel to run all of these heavy machines!
Explore the world
Repair and upgrade your ship with better engines, armor, and weapons. Explore your surroundings, find refugees, discover more resources, and be ready for naval battles!
KatherineofSky (one of the more prolific yutuber dealing with factory-building games) just started a new DSP series, and when I asked her in the comments she said she was also invited to make a video but didn't find it enjoyable.
