Automate, optimize, and build vast factories in a post-apocalyptic automation game for those who have evolved beyond conveyor belts. Command intelligent robots that obey your plain-text commands in any language, explore the ruins of a lost civilization, and rebuild humanity one machine at a time.
Brave New Wonders is a factory automation and base-building simulation set in a post-apocalyptic far future. Build sprawling production lines, optimize every system, and command intelligent robots that follow the commands you write in plain language. Part factory builder, part city builder rising from the ruins, it puts a civilization's revival in your hands. No conveyor belts and no coding: it’s just you and your army of automatons.
Mine ore and crystal, smelt them into refined materials, and craft increasingly complex components along branching production lines, all powered by an expanding energy network. One factory is never enough: link factories, warehouses, and logistics routes, then optimize throughput and sharpen your resource management. Unlock blueprints to copy, paste, and mass-duplicate whole layouts in seconds, and cloned automatons keep their tasks, so expansion stays fast.
Intelligent automatons move materials by following your commands. Start with simple presets, then program your robots in plain language, any language, with no coding required. The behaviour editor guides you as you write: tell an automaton to 'move between A, B, and C in order,' or set conditional logic like "When RED signal is detected at warehouse, pick up crystal compound from general factory and deposit it at warehouse."
Buildings and factories broadcast coloured signals and react to each other so that you can wire programmable systems across your whole base. If you can describe it, odds are your automatons can pull it off.
Civilization fell thousands of years ago, and the new era remembers nothing. As a Pioneer, explore the atmospheric ruins of the old world, some still guarded by hostile machines. Battle is inevitable: strategically place your gun turrets, clear barriers with dynamite, and claim a weapon relic to fight back against threats. Gather relics that shape your world and uncover a story-rich mystery: what truly happened to humanity?
Unlock the ancient Sky Pillar and build your first Wonder: a massive airship that doubles as an airborne fleet of factories. Travel between distinct islands and continents, each with its own biomes, resources, and breakthroughs, from the snowy reaches of Europe to an ancient humanoid robot that still remembers the old world. Your base flies with you, so exploration never stops.

No illustrations, 3D models, textures, animations, sound effects, music, voice performance, or story in Brave New Wonders were generated by AI. We do not condone the use of generative AI that denies artists fair compensation or diminishes the meaning of their work.
The game’s text-based command system runs through an AI model whose only purpose is to parse your plain text commands in any language to generate a behaviour graph. However, if you prefer not to use the command system, you can bypass this feature by manually piecing together the graph instead.
