About the Game
In Microtopia you'll manage a colony of robot ants, design a network of transport trails, explore unique environments and expand your settlement.
Your goal? To reproduce! Create young queens that will fly out during the nuptial flight to spread out to distant lands. Starting the cycle anew.
Deploy your queen to start a colony. Navigate a world of electronic waste.
Use trails and buildings to create instructions for your ants. Collect materials, produce goods and feed the queen.
Optimize your layout by using sensors and logic gates to sort your ants based on different properties.
Upgrade your workers into different castes like flying ants, digger ants and inventor ants.
Progress through a tech tree to unlock new features.
Expand your colony and fly out to nearby islands. Explore a vast array of colorful biomes, discover new plant species and find ways to use their resources.
Reproduce: As with all life; your goal is to reproduce! Gather up enough resources to build young queens to let them fly out and start new colonies!

While we cannot tell you any date yet, we're now working on some major update ; stay tuned, you'll have news as soon as we've got some to share!
Please find today's patch changelog below :
Microtopia - v1.0.9c
- The radio stockpile is now more expensive to make.
- Changed hazmat digger recipe, now requires digger + hazmat ant at a combiner.
- Fixed an error causing ants to sometimes illegally enter a building.
- Catched an error causing a save to not load.
- Radio stockpile can no longer hold liquids.
- Fixed a few issues with ant descriptions.
- Tweaked hazmat digger recycler yields.
Note : We didn't manage to fix the giant ant bug, as we're not sure what causes it exactly. But we think it's kind of funny and not impacting the experience, so how about it becomes a feature instead? :D
Get yourselves ready for another update! This time though we bring some new exciting features!
Introducing the radio stockpile and the hazmat digger!
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44935601/3b0f51d521febb6f57bba09afceb7db249e2f58a.png
The radio stockpile is a new special kind of storage building. It has the capability to send construction materials to buildings on other islands! Keep it stocked with a specific material and you’ll always be able to build with it, no matter where you are on the map.
This is a pretty big shift in the balance. It removes a major constraint and will likely shake up progression in different ways, but I’m confident these changes will be for the better!
The hazmat digger is a new ant caste that fills an important gap in the colony’s workforce. Now you can safely dig those hazardous deposits found in later biomes without risking your other ants.
Both of these features can be unlocked in the tech tree. Find all other changes in the changelog!
Hope you have fun!
