CapitalCraft description

CapitalCraft

CapitalCraft is a single-player industrial management simulation with a persistent save. You inherit a struggling operation and a single versatile mining drone, and your task is to extract resources, refine them, and negotiate contracts to drive the company toward profitability or face bankruptcy.

Pilot your drone in real time through a procedurally generated crust. Dig deeper to access more valuable materials, but deeper digging brings greater risk. Resources such as sand, dirt, stone, copper, iron, nickel, silver, gold, and platinum are found in varying depths and must be handled with physics-based logic.

  • Direct Drone Control: maneuver a single drone and use retractable tools—a claw, drill, and vacuum—to mine and transport materials.
  • Physics-Based Resource Handling: extracted materials obey physics and must be carried to the surface and deposited into your factory storage or the surface via the hyper tube.
  • Factory Processing System: a pipe-based network pulls resources from storage into processors and smelters, refines them, and returns refined materials to storage. Use filters to route exactly which resources are processed.
  • Procedurally Generated Underground: explore a unique crust each playthrough with increasing depth and reward.

Underground hazards add tension. Deep enough exploration can awaken Giant Earth Worms that sabotage your drone. The best tactic is to use your drill to split them, but be mindful—the worms reproduce as you break them, escalating the threat.

Build relationships and negotiate contracts with other companies. A simple dialogue system lets you choose subject, cause, and request. Strong relations unlock bigger payouts and new opportunities beyond basic resource sales.

Manage the economics of a one-person sci‑fi enterprise. Pay rent, taxes on earnings, and energy costs while balancing ongoing expenses. In the current build, factory parts and energy usage are free, but earnings taxes apply, and financial mismanagement can lead to bankruptcy. You can choose to keep playing even if funds go negative, though the save may end if bankruptcy is reached.
