About Mechanic Miner

✦ AI summary

Build physics-based mechanical contraptions from over 70 parts to survive a hostile alien planet filled with deadly creatures and environmental hazards. Unleash your creativity in a sandbox where your steam-powered inventions must work in real-world physics to explore, fight, and ultimately escape or simply build without limits in Creative Mode.

Mechanic Miner is a construction and survival game where you build mechanical steam-powered machines in a physics-based sandbox. Gather resources, kill monsters, acquire new technologies and use your imagination to build crazy mechanical devices to conquer challenges.
Mechanic Miner lets you design and construct any kind of machine! From the basic vehicle covered in deadly spikes or the trustworthy catapult to a submarine, an air balloon or a giant mechanical spider.

Mechanic Miner has more than 70 different parts and building blocks for you to play around with and build machines from – all of it simulated through a realistic physics engine making your constructions behave like in real life.

Get creative, improve your skills, build more advanced contraptions and become a mechanical mastermind to conquer any challenges that may lie ahead. You can also share your designs with your friends through the Steam Workshop!
You’re stranded on a strange and treacherous planet where survival is made difficult by hostile animals and plant life. Luckily, you brought a multitool from your home planet that enables you to craft any kind of machine part – provided that you find and gather the right raw materials.

Relying solely on the technology you brought, you set out to explore this new and unknown world. However, your new home planet will not only challenge you – it might kill you! Face waves of deadly critters and fight unrelenting monsters that show no mercy. To survive, you must acquire the necessary steam-powered technology allowing you to delve deeper into the diverse biomes of the planet and perhaps, ultimately, escape.
Let your inner mechanic shine in Creative Mode. With unlimited resources at your disposal, immortality and the ability to fly you can create anything and set your imagination free!

Creative Mode is great for players who want to let their creativity flow without limitations, and with the blueprint tool you can easily save a copy of your contraptions and use them in Story or Survival Mode if you have the resources for it.
Follow your own path in Survival Mode. You start with nothing and explore, gather, research, construct and fight for your survival.

Survival Mode offers new challenges for advanced players – you need to use your wits and imagination to create contraptions that are able to withstand the harsh environment, aggressive enemies and devastating Aether Storms that wreak havoc on the planet.
  • Explore a randomly generated sandbox. Dive into the story, fight for your survival or start creating without limits.
  • Mine the planet for useful resources and start constructing your own unique mechanical steam-powered machines and devices.
  • A realistic physics engine powers Mechanical Miner's sandbox and will test your contraptions’ ability to navigate the harsh terrain.
  • Use your mechanical constructions to fight and defend you and your base from deadly critters and fight unrelenting monsters. Will you survive?
  • Create blueprints of your mechanical constructions and use them in Story or Survival Modes. Or share them with friends on Steam Workshop to prove who the real mechanical mastermind is.
  • Acquire new technologies and expand your base and building capabilities as you progress in the game.

This game is abandoned. The last update was 5 years ago (2025). Only purchase if you are ready for a story without a conclusion. Fun while it lasts, but has some serious untapped potential.

It says 2 hours but I'm just inside it, I could get a refund, however I got it VERY cheap (-67% off). I love these types of games, I was excited to try it and I saw a lot of bad reviews which put me off. Playing it. I can understand fully what they all said. The tutorial for this game is just awful, the font, the wording (English at least), you're told something that should be basic, yet no other use cases, no how to expand, the game is pretty much "Dunno... work it out" it's a complicated game, I'm now 4.5 hours in and STILL confused. These games are my type of games, I'm a software developer, who has made games, I love complicated sandboxes with their own scripting languages, and this game COULD be a fantastic gem(I don't wanna hate on it) . I just wish the developers who are clearly very skilled with out a doubt. If they just made learning the game approachable. I know some stuck with it and finally worked it out, though WOW what a fight, 4 hours to get the basic that could have been done in 20 mins MAX tutorial. I'm all up for sandboxes, I played the story mode as it suggested this to learn the game and had to restart 3 times (at multiple places) as it wasn't clear at all a…

Very unknown, yet fun game. Challenging and creative. I initially gave this game a Thumbs Up and was really enjoying it. But After completing ACT I - There is NO More Story. So unrewarding to play through all that to just be put into "Survival Mode". Developer. You Gotta Do Something With This Game. Dont Give Up On It. Also Music is horrible, and likely a reason why people dislike the game - mute it and play some steampunk background score and it should be fine. Crashed on me twice in 12 hours.
