The game allows for the creation of functional mechanical devices like catapults, wagons, and mills using "Mechanical Blocks" to automate tasks like sawing timber or milling wheat.
Players explore seven distinct biomes, mine for ores (iron, copper, silver), and manage resources like flax for mechanical lubricants or clay for pottery.
Players use a grid-based system to construct castles, fortifications, and houses. It features a structural integrity system that requires players to account for physics when building.
The game utilizes a voxel-based engine allowing for landscaping and underground mining. Major updates eventually introduced fully detailed planets with world maps. Development History and Discontinuation
