About the Game
The world has ended, Humanity is lost
Thankfully, a revolutionary new science is presented as humanity's salvation: Widgets, a technological marvel with unlimited potential that promises to uplift the remnants of human civilization and return them to their previous heights.
Now, it falls on you to build humanity's future. Starting from humble beginnings, research an expansive array of technologies and design a country-sized factory in order to build the rocket that will herald the Widgets' expansion to the stars... wait, why were we building this rocket again?
Craft your Widgets
Master a variety of manual crafting processes, then automate them to scale up your production.
Research Technology
Twelve tiers of technology await, each with their own crafting steps, upgrades, gameplay additions, and more.
Expand your Factory
As each new tier requires more of the previous, the only way to succeed is to continuously expand your factory. Build from scratch or copy entire previous sections - and keep the terrain you're building on in mind.
Reach for the Stars
As you reach the pinnacle of Widget technology, only one question remains: Will you shoot off into space, aiming to colonize another world? Or will you stay and build more rockets?

Steam Patch Notes
Official update history
Just a small bug fix that was bothering some people. Sorry about that, folks! Completely missed this during development (and bug reports afterwards).
Fixed:
The spawning and despawning of Vaults and Glyph Sparks no longer cancel a currently active Absent Minded buff.
Just a small update today, addressing a few minor issues that have been brought to my attention since the launch of the big update earlier this month.
Added:
The Keypad vault puzzle can now be completed using keyboard numeric keys (Numpad + number row).
"Decode Glyphs" puzzle now has a speed up button for if the right glyphs aren't appearing for you.
Fixed:
City Builder parts are no longer incorrectly capped at 2.1 billion.
Changed:
Vaults can now be deconstructed if they're in the way and you don't want to complete the minigame.
It's now more obvious when you make an error in the Glyphs vault puzzle, and a short lockout prevents you from making multiple errors in a row.
Multiple Glitch Sparks can be present in the world at the same time, reducing the need to hunt for them obsessively.
Time between Glitch Spark spawns still increases as you activate more of them, but the time increase has been reduced.
- Fixed an issue where Frames placed inside of caves would become invisible after a save/load.
- Fixed an issue where placing a Fortress next to a cave entrance would prevent that cave from being destroyed by Napalm.
Just some small bug fixes and tweaks!
Fixed the "Absent Minded" ability being removed by spawning Troglodytes.
Fixed Troglodytes being able to spawn on top of Dig Sites and Excavators, even though there is an adjacent Fortress.
Changed Fortresses to extinguish fires on top of killing troglodytes.
Fixed Artifact Collection productivity not being displayed correctly in the tooltip of the Omega Launch Facility.
Changed Artifact Collection productivity calculation to be multiplicative, not additive. This should be a big boost in productivity in the endgame with many sources of productivity overlapping and boosting eachother.
Hi all,
Another quick patch to address a common complaint: "Caves are in the way of my precious symmetry!"
Well, who am I to dictate how the game is played? A new frame has been added to Tier 3. The Napalm Charge can be placed next to the offending Cave and, once fed enough Oil to get it started, will burn the cave and its devious inhabitants off your map. However, be aware that it will not come back! Caves are a limited spawn, so you'll always be a cave short (or two, or ten). Plan accordingly!
Cheers,
Tom
Just a small patch that fixes some issues that cropped up due to the recent "What Lurks Below" patch:
Reduced the productivity bonus granted by Artifacts (especially for higher-tier artifacts, lower-tier unaffected).
Troglodytes can no longer spawn on Dig Sites if they have a Fortress adjacent.
Changed the "Ancient Legacy" achievement to now require 100 Prestige, as the previous iteration is now no longer achievable.
Fixed the build cost calculation of Fortresses not resetting properly.
Hi all,
Since the emergency patch at the beginning of the month, Steam Deck controls have been partially unusable. And it wasn't even my fault, Unity seems to have introduced some undocumented changes in their "New Input" system that messed with Steam Deck specifically (and possibly Linux in general).
So, after a partial shift back to the "Old Input" system, it works again. The march of progress, I guess.
Sorry for the delay and inconvenience!
This patch is just to fix a security vulnerability that was recently discovered in the Unity engine: Read more
According to Unity, there is no evidence that the vulnerability was ever used maliciously, and with this update it is now fixed (for Widget Inc. at least).
- Fixed a repeated integer overflow error that prevented the game from continuing.
- Fixed Glass Kiln and Oil Field not being able to keep up with speed upgrades.
- Fixed a text display issue with the Copper Mine.

- Increased movement flexibility on the world map
- Fixed switching from windowed to fullscreen mode without changing resolution
