Arcaneering: Beyond Automation has entered early access on Steam, released by Sundrop Games with a native Linux version.

The game blends factory automation with magical engineering: you design production lines where spells boost efficiency and Mana powers your machines, using them to reclaim territory blocked by ancient fortifications.

It offers more than 275 research nodes across technology and skill trees, procedurally generated worlds, and Acts I and II with an estimated 30+ hours of playtime. Act III is planned as the final chapter during early access, which is expected to last under one year. The title costs 14.79 EUR, with a 10 percent launch discount (13.31 EUR) running until September 14. A free demo is available on the Steam page.

Arcaneering blends factory automation with magical engineering. Design production lines where spells boost efficiency, Mana powers your machines, and mystical recipes unlock capabilities beyond conventional manufacturing.

Reclaim forgotten lands rich with secrets and resources. Ancient fortifications block access to valuable resources and rare discoveries, requiring you to develop increasingly sophisticated weapons and magical capabilities to claim them.

Customize your progression through technology and skill trees, with >275 research nodes. Focus on pure automation efficiency, embrace arcane arts for magical solutions, or blend both approaches. Procedural world generation ensures every playthrough offers fresh strategic challenges and different optimal paths.
