This is just a prototype to explore if this kind of game would work.

The idea is to make a mix of factorio, dwarf fortress, minecraft and terra nil.

Note that this game doesn't support touch input (phones). Best played with keyboard and mouse. Also, the game rendering is not optimized: things like high render depth might cause FPS drops.
