About the Game
Craft The World is a unique sandbox strategy game, the mix of Dungeon Keeper, Terraria and Dwarf Fortress.
Explore a random generated world populated by dangerous creatures, build a dwarf fortress, gather resources, and craft all the items, weapons, and armor you need.

You control a tribe of dwarves by giving them commands to dig in certain places, attack enemy creatures, and build houses and other structures. You'll need to provide your dwarves food and clothing, as well as help them with magic when fighting against other inhabitants of the world. You start the game with one dwarf and gain additional dwarves as your experience level increases.

Each game level has many layers of earth to explore, from the sky down to boiling subterranean lava. The level is randomly generated as an island, restricted by natural boundaries: oceans on the edges, lava beneath it, and the sky above. Other features include day and night and changing weather conditions. The worlds differ in size, humidity, temperature, terrain, and flora and fauna. Abandoned halls and rooms with treasure are hidden somewhere deep within the islands.

One feature of the game is a user-friendly system of recipes for crafting. The recipes are organized and easily accessible. You can craft dozens of different items: building blocks for houses, furniture, decorations, weapons, armor, ammunition, and food for your dwarves.

At the outset you find the recipes for basic tools and items, and build a small house with places to sleep and eat. Then, the size of the tribe increases and catches the attention of other inhabitants of the world. Most of them are night creatures and dwell underground. The worlds are full of fantasy creatures like zombies, skeletons, goblins, beholders, ghosts, giant spiders, and others. Some of them pay little attention to the dwarves, as long as the dwarves do not come into their field of vision. Others gather into quite large groups and try to break into the dwarves’ residence.

Especially dangerous are the waves of monsters that appear from time to time from portals. So, do not neglect to build a safe haven with strong walls and numerous trapdoors, cells, firing towers, and secret passageways.

As a divine being, you possess various spells. You can speed up the movement of the dwarves, open small portals, illuminate dark caves to scare away monsters, evoke natural magic in the form of rain or tree growth, hurl fireballs at the monsters’ heads, and find useful resources and hidden rooms underground, thereby helping to speed up resource extraction, exploration of the world, and the population growth of your assistants.

What do our players love the most? Digging, of course! That's why we've decided to add a new resource: Obsidian, which you'll have to mine all the way down to the boiling lava for. But lava isn't soup; you can't just scoop it up. Therefore, players will have to use special extraction units for mining, while fending off Lava Dragons. Once you obtain the coveted obsidian through this complex production process, you can create a variety of items with useful properties: exceptionally durable walls, luxurious interior items, and, of course, armor and weaponry. While these items may slightly concede to Mithril in terms of damage output, they allow you to drain a portion of the enemy's life force, healing the wearer.
The newly smarter Dwarves are here to delight you yet again: two new sliders have been added to the Work Priority settings window to fine-tune their already impressive intelligence. First, there's the Courage Level adjustment. Now you decide whether your Dwarves will fight like lions to the end — one against hundreds of monsters — or run away together in a panic from every little bug. And secondly, by popular demand, we've added a setting to control the required skill level for tasks. You choose: will the forge or other workbench wait for a Dwarf with the necessary skill, or will your Dwarves take on the nearest available job regardless of their abilities?
Finding the required item for a recipe will now be easier: clicking on it in the crafting table will highlight it in your inventory after switching to the corresponding section.
We have fixed a multitude of other flaws and bugs, including those related to the curvature of the earth, block weight, lake depth, and the height of the sky.
Among other things, the list of Pandora's Box events has been updated, and during the New Year Event period, monsters will bring you even more surprises!
