Sure! Let me know how it goes - I’m still in the process of translating all the strings

what language do you want? there is a little globe button in the lower left corner of the menus to change localization, I could add more of them if you need a different language

do you know you can put materials in the ship? also you can upgrade your backpack to have higher carry weight

by the way, check out the Discord - we are talking about a lot of stuff there and have a requests channel :)

and we are about to have turbine pixels and some other ways of generating power :)

Oh you can actually plant the nuts from the trees to make new little trees for more carbon :) and there is some wood gasification to get methane

I’m not sure if it’s in the game yet, but I’ll definitely add it - I just added ability to support catalysts in the reaction data yesterday so I need to add a bunch of catalyzed reactions soon :)

an earlier version of this build had an issue with material exports that would keep it from starting - this has been fixed now

The fix I just put up should restore upgrade tools in situations where the inventory somehow gets erased. If there are other things that are getting lost, please let me know!

This should be fixed in the most recent build, sorry it took this long

Alrighty well I’ve uploaded the new build so hopefully it’s fixed in this, let me know if it happens again

Isotopes and nuclear stuff is definitely going to be in 1.0 :)

I tried creating a new world in this build and went all the way to the right and the upper right but I’m not seeing it… Can you see if there’s a particular type of pixel that is spawning the sand?

Also does this always happen if you create a new world? Does it happen at the left edge of the world too?

I think this is in the game

OH thank you for telling me! I’ll fix that feedback bug in the next build.

One trick for Carbon is you can use Blender pixels to turn excess Charcoal into Carbon. I’m also going to be adding the first plantable trees and crops in a content update that’ll probably be in the next couple days.

Quick Guide to Modding:

You can export material and reaction json files using the in-game console commands:

• export_indiv_materials
• export_indiv_reactions

These will export the json files to the userdata/Materials and userdata/Reactions directories

Userdata directory is C:\Users[username]\AppData\Roaming\godot\app_userdata\Atomcraft

With the latest build (11-27-2025) the game will automatically load any new files you make in those directories on startup, so you can copy from existing files, make some modifications, and then try your materials and reactions in-game!

You can also hot-reload materials & reactions from the user directories after making changes by pressing F3, although if you are changing a lot of things at once or repeatedly overwriting things it might not work and you may need to restart the game at that point. A good way to test this works is to try changing the color of a material in a json file and then press F3 in game to see it update.

Remember you can give yourself your new materials from the console with give command

alrighty look forward to seeing what you come up with!

I just added something in the most recent build (27b) so Blender pixels can now turn Charcoal into Carbon :)

we’re going to have seeds for plantable trees soon when we do the crops update soon

I may add some additional ways to get Carbon though

This is another Godot game. We’ll get back to it at some point in the future after Atomcraft launches; I have a lot more ideas for it

it’s in the new build now :) I added all of the resolutions in the current Steam Hardware Survey

yeah I can add that

some things you find early will be useful later, or they’re spread throughout the world so they’ll be convenient to find

It just depends what you find first. There will be upgrades that need silver soon (also I think some of the craftable pixels use it?)

This is in now

do you have the most recent build? It should turn into alumina…

btw crowbar now has that shift-drag line mechanic :)

Hey everyone, the goal is to get as many chemical reactions as possible into the game, but I have to add them as we go, so - if there are reactions you are expecting that don’t work yet, please list them here and I will work on getting them in. :)

I haven’t added all of the pathways for Aluminum yet since they get a little complex, we just have this one simplified path at the moment, but I do want to add all the paths.

ok that’s super weird… do you know if you can post a video in bug-reports on the discord? If you created a new world and a new character, you should start with just the hand and plastic drill tool (which can only drill wood). Then you get wood drill to get cuprite, and copper drill to get cassiterite.

hmm I just tried it and I’m able to - are you playing on a new world or is it a save from previously where you had the copper drill?

Thanks!

this got replaced with Cobalt Steel (added to guide)

Yes you heat or laser the cobaltite to get Cobalt Oxide, then heat it and add Carbon to get the Cobalt out of it. Then, you mix cobalt into molten steel (only need 1 per 5 molten steel)

At the moment, the materials that can carry signal are Copper and Zinc (they build into wires), although I’m going to make a broader system for electrical conductivity later. I’m going to make a wiring tutorial with some examples today

added it to the guide

You can actually make half-adders and adders using copper and zinc btw, because their signals will not interfere with each other and you can make the wires cross over on diagonals

Oh yeah, Potassium symbol was broken in some places before - I think it is fixed now (Potash is now K2CO3), but if you see any specific examples in the latest build let me know!

For logic gates, they are all facing down right now - the input spaces are top left and top right relative to the gate pixel, and the output is below it (except for the NOT gate, where the input is directly above). I'm still trying to think about the best way to implement them bc it feels a little weird to have 4 directional variants, but I need some way of defining what the inputs and outputs are, but the gates in there now are actually usable :)

Yes! Having a marquee select when you hold and drag the Crowbar is high on my list right now!

oh that's a good catch, adding to buglist should be easy to fix

lasers can pass through glass in the most recent build now :)

Made this interesting soil mixing machine on the stream tonight - 

The top has left and right conveyor belts to bring together piles of materials (in this case, Fertile Loam and Biochar)

In the middle is a part with some Blender pixels spaced apart to make the pixels jump around until they get a chance to react (becoming Vital Loam). There are Programmable Filter pixels at the bottom with examples next to them of Vital Loam, so they'll let the result drop through.

Below that, there is a pool of water to make the Vital Loam that falls through turn into Wet Vital Loam (which is currently planned to be the best soil in the game for growing plants)

The pool of water stays refilled by a setup on the right side where a sensor is wired through a NOT logic gate to a line of Door pixels - when the water level drops, the sensor turns off, the wire after the NOT gate lights up, and the door opens, letting water from the basin above refill the machine. When it fills back to the sensor, it closes the door again, so there can be a lot of water in the tank and we don't have to manually refill it as often. :)

The bottom part is an Allow Solids filter - so just the soil pixels fall through onto the right conveyor belt below, and then that slides them over to the exit of the machine.

Soon we'll have crops in the game, so I want to figure out how to make a good soil mixing machine to get the optimal soil :)
