- ///V3: Here's What Awaits You in Our Next Update - 1 July 2026
Hey Autonomics,It's been a while, our team has been so hard at work, oomf. Just a quick update for you on where we're at with our upcoming update.This V3 update is pretty chunky. We still have to reorganize a few major systems to put the project on stronger rails going forward. Let me quickly run through what's coming next and what got improved and modified.Load and SaveWe now have a fully, properly functioning load and save system. You'll no longer need to exit your game to the main menu just to save (lol, brutal, I know). Now you've got a mature system where you can save right from the Escape menu, name your saves, all that good stuff. You'll love it.Bullet Proof WateringOh man, this one was annoying. We've watched you struggle with the watering system for two updates now. I think we finally got it under control. We fully rewrote the watering logic, and now it waters exactly the plot…
- M.A.M.A. - 15 May 2026
We’re working on a new resource sorting machine for Autonomica called M.A.M.A. (Matter Allocation & Management Array.)Basically, M.A.M.A. becomes the main brain of your storage network.You’ll be able to walk up to M.A.M.A., deposit a bunch of resources from your inventory into it, and M.A.M.A will figure out where everything should go. The science is very simple. Very safe. Probably.When resources are stored inside M.A.M.A., the machine breaks them down, scans their molecular structure, and creates a resource blueprint. That blueprint is then sent through the Data Cable to the correct Smart Storage Box that are going to be connected to M.A.M.A via DATA cable.Once the right box receives the information, it reconstructs the resource and adds it to the stack of similar items already stored there.So if you already have stone in one box, copper in another, crops somewhere else, M.A.M.A. will…

- The future of our company, our game, and quite possibly our last project. - 1 April 2026
Hey Autonomics,Today, I’ve got something major to share.The past few months, frankly, maybe even years, have been a bit rough. Little over 6 months ago, we raised over a million dollars on Kickstarter. Since then, let’s just say our team got “inventive” with purchases. While reviewing expenses, we started noticing that some of our developers had been spending company funds on... questionable things. We found gold-plated staplers (apparently normal ones weren’t enough), someone bought a Da Vinci reverse keyboard for the entire team (we’re still figuring that one out). We’ve got an original Daft Punk helmet in our possession, though there are no concert plans as of yet. We even saw budget lines for ergonomic yo-yos and a disco ball for meetings.We told them, very clearly, “Not cool, guys!” They did not listen.The LAST $48,000 of our not-at-all-essential budget has now been funneled into o…
- Chapter 1 Sprint 2: The Black Box - 17 March 2026
The new update is here, and this one is called The Black Box.In this update, we’re finally introducing Black Box into the game. As some of you probably know already, Autonomica takes place in an alternative world inspired by Solarpunk and Cassette Futurism. In this world, Black Boxes are installed in land and air vehicles and are meant to log travel data that can be useful in case of a crash. They’re also built to help guide survivors after crash events.With this iteration, we’re adding the first basic version of Black Box functionality, and we’ll keep expanding it as we keep developing the game. Right now, Black Box can help guide you toward ores and other important locations. By pressing V on your keyboard, you’ll open the Black Box quick menu.Black Box will also warn you when your vital stats are getting low. It comes with over 500 voice lines, some useful, some silly, and some a lit…
- Autonomica Black Box Update Game Play Trailer - 13 March 2026
Hey Autonomics, We’re excited to release our latest update on March 17, introducing your new companion, Black Box. In this first version, BB helps guide you through the world with voice lines, scanning, and helpful support along the way. We’re also expanding the world a bit with new areas to explore, along with fresh sounds, exploration music, and a bunch of quality-of-life improvements and fixes.Right now, only our Alpha Backers, the awesome people who supported us on Kickstarter, can play. Since the game is still very early in development, we’ve been keeping access limited while we keep building, testing, and improving things.This Tuesday, we’ll be opening the doors for our Beta Backers too. Then, in a few months, we’re planning to release an open demo and start public playtests so everyone can finally jump in and try the game.Join Our DiscordCheck out the trailer:

- Black Box: First Contact - 23 January 2026
Hey yo, Autonomics!We are so back and deep in the trenches working on the next wave of updates!While Autonomica is officially in early closed Alpha, which includes some dust and the occasional rogue physics glitch. We are also pushing forward at a steady, high-voltage rate and shifting to a new rhythm for releases, because we want to get new toys into your hands faster to show off clearer progress in real-time! It is also a good way to let all of you know that we haven’t been abducted by a rogue AI!We are splitting our work into two different speeds. First, we have Chapters, which are our major milestones. These will not be just content drops, but the moments where our systems and story will finally click together. Each Chapter will wrap up a specific narrative arc and finish off a whole set of features that represent the completion of that stage of the journey. And yes, they will end o…

- Digest #5: Oh, the Humanity! - 16 May 2025
Hey Autonomics! How's it going? We're in the final 24 hours of the Kickstarter campaign, so if anyone missed it, now is your opportunity!

We think raising a family is another way to make your time spent in Autonomica a little more personal and warmer. Your kid(s) will grow through different life stages and respond to the attention you give them.

- Digest #4: Submarines, Squirrels, and Phantoms! - 9 May 2025

- Mechs, Tech and More ( Weekly Digest #3 ) - 2 May 2025
Another week, another weekly Digest ! This week's Digest is packed full of tech and is sure to bring plenty of excitement! At least It's time to talk about mechs. What they bring to Autonomica, and how you'll be able to use them in farming, automation, and beyond. You'll discover Mechs at later stages of the game when you begin traveling to future timelines. These powerful machines will be scattered throughout the open world, often abandoned and hidden inside secured hangars. To unlock a Mech, you'll need to undertake special side quests, like locating a lost reactor to power it back up or finding a way to breach reinforced hangar doors. Once activated, a Mech will launch with a dramatic sequence that produces a lot of noise, so you’ll want to be careful because it might attract unwanted attention from other players. Each gameplay mode, whether PVP, PVE, or Time Expedition (our peaceful…
