  • Dev Diary #4: Cliffs - 1 September 2026

    Hi, and welcome to Dev Diary 4. After the last diaries foray into the depths of C++ this time let’s swing back to the artistic side of things, with a new feature: cliffs! Cliffs in Substructure serve a dual purpose: they constrain the playspace for our players, forcing them to be creative with how they build their factory; and they help add to the grand illusion of making the game feel 3D by adding some faux height to the world. But this post is about how we make cliffs. Because it's not as simple as it might seem; let's get down to it and first consider the constraints: Cliff collisions must not consume over 4 tiles, as that is the length of the short underground belt, and cliffs blocking some directions but not others would be an inconsistent gameplay experience. Cliffs must tile seamlessly: in camera and world space. Cliff tile borders must not be obvious and repetition should not be…

  • Dev Diary #3: Writing Complicated Code to Avoid Writing Simple Code - 3 August 2026

    Welcome to the third dev diary for Substructure. Last time, we looked at how we build up the layers of the planet visually: the terrain tiles, decals, decoratives, and generation logic that slowly turn a flat surface into something that looks like a strange, usable planet. This time, we are going in a somewhat different direction. Substructure is a game about automation, but, unfortunately, making an automation game also involves quite a lot of automation that players will never see. Some of that work is glamorous. Some of it is writing code so that we do not have to keep writing other code by hand. This diary is about the latter. More specifically, we are going to talk about how Substructure handles data, how Lua definitions become C++ structures, why that process can turn into a small data-shoving factory if we are not careful, and how reflection and annotations help us keep the whole…

  • Dev Diary #2: Creating the Layers of Substructure - 10 July 2026

    This diary will walk you through the way we construct the various layers of the planet in Substructure. Detailing the technical approach we take to generate both the art assets that make up the world and the approach we take to combine these assets to achieve the visual targets defined in our concept art. We construct the art for our planetary layers like a cake - three distinct components - each in the form of 2D images - built on top of each other, each serving a specific visual and gameplay purpose. Base (terrain tiles), Decals (organic surface detail), and Decoratives (the unique rocks and flora that further defines each layer’s identity). Concept These concept illustrations for the first two planetary layers, produced by our Art Director Jamie Martin, established the creative direction for everything that followed. The challenge was to create environments that were visually interes…

  • Dev Diary #1: Setting the Substructure - 15 May 2026

    Welcome to the first dev diary for Substructure. With this series, we want to give you a closer look at how Substructure is being built, what we are working on, and how we are thinking about the game as it develops. Future posts will cover different parts of development, from engineering and art to puzzles, systems, and the broader ideas behind the game. After each post, we will also be available on Discord to answer questions and talk through anything you want to discuss. For this first diary, we wanted to start with the bigger picture: how we think about games, how that inspired the world of Substructure, and where things are heading as we move toward Early Access. Who We AreThe ethereal question. At heart we are gamers. Our two founders have spent thousands of hours playing a range of games together (of the video and board variety). Automation (of course), roguelikes, and survival, m…

  • Factorio mod developer and Hooded Horse reveal new automation game Substructure - 10 December 2025

    This is going to be horrible for my free time. Substructure sounds like a real interesting entry into the factory building automation genre. Read the full article here: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2025/12/factorio-mod-developer-and-hooded-horse-reveal-new-automation-game-substructure/

  • Announcing Substructure: A Factory Automation Game from Dubious Design! - 4 December 2025

    Hello, we’re Dubious Design! We build games for people who love the struggle. Games that make you lean in, not zone out. Games that don’t hand you answers, but demand that you find them. When you play one of our games, we want you to feel immersed in meticulously crafted environments and compelling systems. We want you to face challenges that are designed with precision and care. This is the philosophy we’re bringing to our upcoming game, Substructure. Check out the announcement trailer, which premiered earlier today on the PC Gaming Showcase: Most Wanted edition: Substructure is our take on the factory automation genre. It puts you on the surface of a rogue planet in the far reaches of the solar system, as part of a hastily-prepared expeditionary mission. You must explore this alien world and exploit its resources in complex production chains. But to truly understand what’s going on, y…

  • Hooded Horse reveal Substructure, a factory sim from a top Factorio modder in which you excavate the layers of a rogue planet - 4 December 2025

    If you were Senior Floor Manager of Earth, and a weird planet innocently appeared on the fringe of our solar system, what would you do? I would probably not zip out there and plant a factory on that planet, in much the same way that I wouldn’t high-five a bear-shaped shadow on the edge of a campsite. But I am not the modder behind beloved Factorio mod Ultracube, who is now part of game developer Dubious Design. Read more

Short description

Harness the power of automation in this factory game set on a rogue planet in the far reaches of the solar system. Dig down and explore the depths of an alien world, exploit its resources across complex production chains, and travel towards the core to uncover its deepest secrets.

About this game

An interstellar body detected on a collision course with our solar system inspires equal parts fear and curiosity – could this rogue planet threaten our fragile home, or does it offer some great, unknown opportunity? Establish complex automated factories and production facilities on the lush surface of an alien world as you delve below its surface in search of answers as part of a hastily-prepared expeditionary mission. Work alone or with friends in multiplayer as you build within intricate caverns and take advantage of the strange and unfamiliar resources hidden beneath the surface – industrialize the very depths of this world to uncover its secrets, awakening dangerous threats and encountering inexplicable phenomena along the way. Despite its location far beyond the habitable zone, lush green fields dominate the planet and present unexpected agricultural opportunities to pair with your industrial capabilities. Will you seek the delicate but sometimes inefficient balance between fields and factories, or will the fires of industry burn this world in the interests of your expedition? Starting with individually planted seeds to power your first combustion generators, developing towards drone-operated megafarms that sustain entire sections of your mission, agriculture isn’t just a stepping stone in the world of Substructure, but a vital process that enables your manufacturing and research capabilities. Seek out new raw materials that can be processed and combined to manufacture advanced equipment and increase your efficiency as you journey towards the planet core. Whether you’re pulling water out of the air to produce nitrogen and lubricants or assembling logic units needed for the advanced logistic mechanisms that optimize your throughput, increasingly complex production chains drive your journey forward. A surface-level expedition will only ever grant you surface-level answers. To truly understand the situation at hand, you must dig deeper. Build massive platforms to transport yourself, materials, and entire production chains between the cavernous layers beneath the planet's surface, revealing new biomes and the resources, opportunities, and threats they bri…

Price History Overview

USD uses SteamPulse's own locally recorded daily store snapshots, so this overview reflects the exact regional price history that SteamPulse has captured for this currency.

Coverage And Tracking Window

  • Snapshots: 1
  • Coverage: Sep 23, 2026 to Sep 23, 2026
  • Lowest observed: $0.00
  • Highest observed: $0.00

Substructure's USD price history spans from Sep 23, 2026 to Sep 23, 2026, with 1 recorded snapshot across 1 calendar day. Each row records the available final price, listed base price, and discount metadata for that observation. Within this coverage the lowest recorded price is $0.00, the highest is $0.00, and the first visible tracked price is $0.00. These comparisons apply only to the snapshots SteamPulse holds; missing observations can contain changes that are not represented here.

For USD, SteamPulse uses locally captured regional storefront snapshots and does not reconstruct older prices with exchange-rate conversion. The chart and table show the values recorded for this exact currency from the stated coverage start. Additional snapshots extend that record, but they do not fill unobserved days or prove what the storefront displayed between observations.

Discount Windows And Sale Timing

  • Discount windows: 0
  • Discounted days: 0 days
  • Deepest markdown: No discount tracked
  • Latest sale window: No sale window tracked

Substructure's tracked USD rows do not contain a discount window. This means no available snapshot in the stated coverage has usable discount metadata; it does not prove that the game was never discounted. Missing snapshots or archived rows without complete metadata can hide a sale, so SteamPulse does not infer pricing strategy from this absence.

If a later snapshot includes discount metadata, it will appear here with its recorded depth, price, date, and sale name when available. Until then, this section should be read only as a description of the available rows, not as evidence about the publisher's promotion policy.

Observed Price Changes And Stable Runs

  • Observed price drops: 0
  • Observed price rises: 0
  • Longest stable run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking
  • Current run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking

Outside rows carrying discount metadata, the tracked price has not recorded a separate price rise or drop yet. That means the observed undiscounted level has stayed stable across the snapshots SteamPulse currently holds. This is a statement about the recorded coverage only; it does not prove that an older or missing price change never happened.

The longest unchanged price stretch in the current record lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $0.00, from Sep 23, 2026 through Sep 23, 2026. Among rows without discount metadata, the longest unchanged run lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $0.00. The latest run records $0.00 for 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking as the same recorded undiscounted price. Run lengths describe consecutive stored observations only and do not establish that a price is permanent.

Latest Snapshot And Sales Context

  • Current price: $0.00
  • Current list price: $0.00
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records Substructure at $0.00 in USD, with no active discount metadata. Across the available history SteamPulse has recorded 1 distinct final price in this currency. This supports comparisons with the lowest, highest, and most common values present in the retained record, subject to the stated coverage limits.

The live sales view and Steam sales record provide calendar context for these dates. A date overlap can be compared with a named Steam event, but it does not prove why a publisher changed a price. As new daily rows arrive, this overview recalculates its observed prices, discount windows, and run lengths automatically.
