Arcaneering blends factory automation with magical engineering. Design production lines where spells boost efficiency, mana powers your machines, and mystical recipes unlock capabilities beyond conventional manufacturing.
Reclaim forgotten lands rich with secrets and resources. Ancient fortifications block access to valuable resources and rare discoveries, requiring you to develop increasingly sophisticated weapons and magical capabilities to claim them.
Discovery fuels progression. Uncover treasure chests containing secret recipes or spells, trade with traveling merchants for exclusive technologies, nurture mana trees for powerful rewards, and adapt your factories to each world's unique geography and resource distribution.
Customize your progression through technology and skill trees. Focus on pure automation efficiency, embrace arcane arts for magical solutions, or blend both approaches. Procedural world generation ensures every playthrough offers fresh strategic challenges and different optimal paths.
The result is factory building with purpose: Every production line serves territory reclamation, every research choice opens new strategic possibilities, and every world presents fresh mysteries to unravel.
