Set in the steampunk era, you take on an expedition to a forsaken island that you once called home. But sudden eruptions triggered by mechanical beings turned the wondrous place into an apocalyptic wasteland. In order to survive the island’s natural elements, you have to outsmart these creatures and capture one of their drillships. Use their own technology against them as you upgrade the machinery and reclaim your homeland.
Take the vantage point, stay safe underground or choose a material-rich location and explore. The drillship is one of a kind base capable of joining you on every journey.
Experience the tension and thrill of surviving volcanic eruptions. Time between each eruption is your most valuable resource. Use it to roam the island gathering materials, finding new technology and utilizing production.
Deal with a hostile race of robots that use the volcano as a source of energy. Their units are scattered all around the island’s surface as well as below it.
Customize your drillship from the inside out with colors, symbols, gadgets and more. Automate production, research technologies, set up defenses and turn the drillship into an unbreachable powerhouse.

Machine Hunt Update OUT NOW
Before we dig into the new enemies and structures, we have to cover this major behavior change on the COG side.
The way things were untill now is that COGs would attack you semi consistently as long as you were somewhere around the island (aside from the harbor).
But now the COGs are a bit more passive, minding their own business, you know.
Only doing their work missions around the island and the occasional patrol.
So you will see the refinery, research or production types around the island (red, green, blue).
BUT once you, dirty little saboteur, start causing some trouble, the COGs will slowly start to notice.
And once they get fed up with your bs,..
They will go into HUNT MODE
Which means that the military structures will spawn in the area along with military grade enemies.
Those will come after you until one of two things happen:
[olist] Either you go on the defensive and hold them off for 10 minutes. Or you go on the offensive and destroy these structures (or the laser device)
[/olist]
This will stop the hunt mission and things will go back to normal.
Until you piss them off again.
One of the new enemies that will spawn during these HUNT MISSIONS is the one and only
Spider COG
Which is the biggest, loudest, scariest and definitely the most complex enemy we've ever added so far.
Equipped with a gatling gun and a variety of moves this enemy will definitely give you a run for your money.
Second new enemy is the self-spawning tank.
Which means it doesn't need a drillship to drop it off, it can just dig its way up by itself.
These tanks are also part of the hunt mission.
Last but not least are the new COG structures.
As mentioned, these are critical to target, if you want the hunt mission to end sooner.
For all you completionists, we added a few more achievements for you to complete.
And a new Easter Egg as hinted in yesterday's comic .
