Our take on Builderment
Its defining structure is a planetary production network: raw materials move through extractors, conveyors, and machines before being sent back to Earth in shipments.
What is Builderment?
Builderment is a casual factory-building game set on distant planets after Earth runs out of resources.
Players establish a base, extract materials such as wood, iron, copper, coal, and uranium, then use machines and conveyor systems to process and transport goods. Shipments unlock research for additional items and construction options. Power plants increase production speed, while trees, statues, and other decorations can be placed around the factory. The central activity is arranging extractors, conveyors, splitters, processing buildings, and a teleporter into an automated supply system. Players can share factory blueprints, download designs made by others, or join a community through Discord.
