Read guideA practical sequence that gets you from Plastic Drill to Copper.
- 1
Survive the first drill climb
Start with the Plastic Drill, gather Wood for the Wooden Drill, then hunt Cuprite for Copper. The early hardness ladder unlocks limestone caves and real metallurgy.
- 2
Build a double-U clay forge
Stack clay into nested U shapes, fuel charcoal underneath, and smelt ores without smothering the fire. Ceramic conversion means your forge is working.
- 3
Restore ship elements for Research Points
Discover elements, contribute pixels to the spaceship, unlock craftable mechanical pixels, and open automation paths like conveyors and electrodes.
- 4
Use Material Tracking and F1 Help
Pin materials in the guide, sparkle-track deposits through fog of war, and unlock forge tips, ore tables, and cooking notes from the Help System.
- 5
Automate dangerous reactions carefully
Wire sensors, doors, and blenders before you attempt nitroglycerin-class recipes. Cooling arrays also harvest noble gases while you work.
- 6
Track materials, then unlock late systems
Pin ores with the eye button, expand the Material Belt to ten rows, learn world map zoom and ship teleports, and only then approach radioactivity and the Nuke Launcher.
Wiki FAQ
Quick answers tied to this page.
What is Atomcraft?
Atomcraft is a 2D sandbox survival adventure by Triplejump where every pixel is physically and chemically simulated. You dig, smelt, react, automate machines, fight creatures, and repair a crashed spaceship while chasing all 118 elements.
Is this wiki official?
No. Atomcraft Wiki is a fan-made guide site. For patches and announcements, check the Steam page and the developer’s itch.io/devlog channels.
Which languages are supported?
This wiki is available in: English, Français, Deutsch, 日本語.
Where should beginners start?
Read How to Play, then Controls, then the Early Game Walkthrough. Build a forge early and follow the Plastic → Wood → Copper drill path before chasing rare elements.
Does Atomcraft have an in-game guide?
Yes. Press F1 for the Help System, use the Material Guide for sources and droptables, and pin materials to track sparkling deposits in the world.
What are the newest Atomcraft systems after Steam launch?
Launch-window highlights include Material Tracking, the Material Belt, world map zoom/pan and ship teleports, Particle Accelerator radioactivity, and the Nuke Launcher with isotope fallout. The 1.0+ roadmap targets Primora — nanotech pixels, anomalous materials, and summonable bosses — timed for the Autumn Sale window.
