Build windmills or enslave chickens to generate mechanical energy to power your machines and transmit it through cogs and belts.Recycle materials, craft unique resources and upgrade your high friction cogs from wood to steel.Build mechanical systems using:

• Generators (windmill blades, chicken wheels, hand-cranks)
• Various kind of cogs (one way, double cogs, switches)
• Belts to connect cogs, build gear trains to increase torque or speed
• Pipe conveyors to transport items
• Circular saws and tracks to place themto cut trees automatically
• Pressure plates and mechanized doors
• Various machines like milling or crusher machines, table saw, block maker...

Create without limits with our unique circuit design system!

Planet Centauri's magitech allows you to design various electronic systems, from humble automated house lighting to calculators or even CPUs!This is achieved through an unique 'pipe' system to transmit soul energy up to 9 bit information signal and a large number of components, including:

• Generators harvesting soul energy from the environment

• Crystalizers to condensate energy to generate even more energy

• Teleporters

• Battery systems to store energy

• Lights, pixels, displays,

• Sensors and different kind of inputs

• Logical operators (not, and, or...)

• Mathematical operators (full adder, modulo, div, comparators)

• ACD, DAC, encoders, decoders, mux...

• Memories (flipflop, latch, 8-bit registers, counters)

• ROMs, using blocks placed in the world as a memory storage

• Transistors

Here is actually the classic Game of Life cellular automaton implemented in magitech.

• Misc triggers: Counter / Switch / Chrono / ChronoLocal / PreciseTimer / Dice / HourChanged
• Event dispatching triggers: Hub / HubFilter / Dispatch / TimedDispatch
• BlockPattern to detect shaped structures (useful to make puzzles)
• DropItemsSouls
• CreateBlocks / DestroyBlocks / CreateDecorations / DestroyDecorations / Indestructible
• SpawnRope / SpawnTree / SpawnBall / SpawnLava
• Unlock / GenerateItems / ObjectAttributes / TriggerAttribute / AddAttributes / DisableLight

Modding

Steam workshop is not supported, but the game can be extensively modified.Any item in the game can be edited through text based configuration files in the PlanetCentauri/assets/moddable folder.You can add blocks, decorations, or any visual element without knowing a programming language.For more complex systems, like monsters or entities, the Lua programming language is used (like in Factorio, Hades, Don't Starve, Roblox, and a lot of games).The current limitation is the lack of a mod manager. This leads to potential problems and collisions between entries, and you have to distribute your mods manually.
