Engineering a THRIVING mining city in Steamworld Build!

Steamworld Build combines city building with mining and is truly amazing thanks to the attention to detail that has gone into this game! Steam World Build is the wild west themed, desert based city builder with robots powered by steam from the same universe and developers as Steamworld Dig!

I like how every building is unique and it's instant build.

[@Sir1188]

It's a cute take on Anno.

The building mechanic is so convenient we're now fighting our own chaotic self.

The reason cactuses need a scarecrow is because they grow a fruit that certain types of birds eat n if those get eaten then you potentially lose out on seeds for further harvests

[@randomrabbit3161]

I love that RCE noticed a lot of the finer details of the world. His enthusiasm is contagious and I absolutely adored the little robo cats and dogs. Also to the person who edited the video, I loved your banter with RCE and specifically went back to rewind and pause to read it. To RCE and his team of editors I would like to say: Top quality content as always! You guys are awesome :D

[@thecastawaydc]

The mining aspect reminds me of the many hours of my childhood playing the dungeon keeper games. Sad the mining bots don't do the imp dance as they fortify the walls though.

[@PabloEdvardo]

Came here to say the same thing, you can really see the inspiration from DK here. War for the Overworld is also a great literal spiritual successor if you haven't seen it.

The city building works basically exactly the same as Anno 1800 (with more robots and less water)

[@tibbevanlievenoogen5045]

Its Anno 1800, but retextured, or it at least looks like that to me.

[@rickslotboom8827]

I was thinking the exact same

[@altair4441]

It's basicly Anno but with a theme that makes it interesting for RCE video.

I was already really excited for this game when I saw their announcement, but after watching actual footage of it, I can't freaking wait! The SteamWorld series has such a charming aesthetic and such attention to detail, how can you not love it?

[@jasonshadeslayer1966]

This is like a budget Anno 1800. Love it.

[@yairseeman]

"Look at that! That is a mess!" -Creator of the Trucknado and the Vertical wall of train

[@samuschutz6218]

Actually this game is pretty simular to Anno 1800 just much more simple. I would recommend it to you if you are looking for a simulare game that is much more complex and requires you to spend many hours on it. In addition I would say it's even more detailed than this game. (except the mining part of the game)

[@rhycekun202]

I'd love a series of this once it's fully released

[@essaerae_g]

Me: *zoning out after a long day at work* RCE: "More miners is always a good thing." Me: "Wait, what did he just say?"

[@mortalitydoesstuff8965]

The lore behind the steamworld universe is really cool, I hope you check out some of the other games as a result of playing this one

[@Bluewizard55]

I like the way the buildings jiggle when you move to "ghost" of it.

[@isaipack]

"You know how much I love mining" Minecraft engineers waiting: 💀

[@Stealer_Of_Joy]

I've played all of the Steamworld games (Well, except this one), and they're all SO good. They always seem so simple at the surface but the complexity ramps up quick. You don't seem to be interested in RPG games, but Steamworld Quest is wonderful. I think Steamworld Dig 2 would be right up your alley.

[@Ceruleannn]

By now you probably already know this, but only buildings that offer a "service" (as specified in the building description) need to be in range of houses. The charcoal kiln, cactur farm, etc actually are better off being built as far as possible from your housing area, so that you have plenty room to build other services in the future. All the building that provide goods are interconnected thanks to warehouses. I always have one or two huge residential areas (the second one usually comes in late game when I'm out of housing space in the first area and need more workers, I build their homes in a shabby neighbourhood far away from al luxury 😈) and a few industrial areas that usually originate around forests.

[@augu-ks3kl]

[@IronDino]

This game is amazing, very hyped to see more of it, I hope that you continue playin when the full version comes out.

[@scribblenuts4695]

This concept really reminds me of Anno 1800, with 3 different people types and resource management.

[@cathygrandstaff1957]

The reason cactuses need scarecrows is some birds try to attack them. There’s a species of woodpecker that should actually be calling a cactuspecker because it excavates holes in the cactus to make its nest in. Very safe, lots of species like moving into them once the woodpecker is done with them but obviously you don’t want big cavities in your cacti. There are also birds that go after the cactus fruits.

[@dopesickdog]

it feels so alien in the desert sometimes, so many species living in towering saguaro cacti instead of trees. also, there's a joke in "cactuspecker" somewhere

[@jacobrobinson7395]

3:48 scraps + tumbleweed = scrumbleweed😂

[@robertbaker50]

It's good that this game shows you how many workers you're short by.

Well, I am already sold on this game. xD The beavers didn't know when to stop making robots, and now we are here in the wild west after the robots were exiled from the dam for drinking.

[@lonergothonline]

there's a game called plan B, terraforming, where you set up transportation across an large scale uninhabited world, and connect resources to factories to cities, which then gets the cities to grow on their own, which then they'll ask for different materials. for instance, at first they'd ask for concrete, so you'd need to set up extraction, depots, factories, then transport from factories to cities, but they'll eventually stop asking for just plain concrete, so you'll need to make something else, starting from the raw resources again. it seems right up your alley to make a video on.

[@ragerancher]

"Presumably an architect designed this track" - Shows a bit of track that definitely looks like something RCE would design.
