What is Brave New Wonders?
Brave New Wonders is an indie post-apocalyptic factory simulation game developed by City From Naught Inc. where physical conveyor belts are replaced by programmable automatons. Players explore a fractured archipelago held aloft by Levitanium, managing industrial expansion through robotic worker units that interpret plain-text commands in any natural language.
A campaign run begins at the Americas train station hub with Pioneer Mira riding a monowheel to gather ore, smelt plates, and configure drone routes. Progression expands through solving ruin trials, erecting automated defenses, excavating the Sky Pillar, and constructing flying airships to connect remote continents across the world.

From your first monowheel ore run to airship expeditions across the Archipelago, choose the topic you need.
Beginner Guide
Start in the Americas and learn to build factories and assign automatons. Preset commands and the behaviour editor help you understand your first production lines.
Gather metal plates and raw ores manually using your monowheel near the starter train station hub.
Deposit metal plates at the train station research terminal to unlock manual drilling and smelter blueprints.
Place smelters powered by a solar collector to refine metal ore into plates and crystal shards into refined crystals.
More details
Build an automaton factory using compute cores to manufacture miner and mover drones for automated hauling.
Automaton Commands
Give automatons instructions in plain language, then reuse and edit commands as your factory grows. Explore how signals and communication between buildings enable more advanced automation.
Access the command interface on an automaton and open the custom text prompt window.
Write clear directives using bracketed variable tags like {smelter} and precise in-game item names.
Generate the state machine flow graph using the parser to check action nodes and fallback conditions.
More details
Click physical buildings and storage containers in your yard to link them to the prompt parameters.
Factory Layouts and Logistics
Connect factories with logistics routes to move resources through your production network. Copy and paste large layouts while preserving robot instructions to expand established production setups.
Place primary drop-off warehouses right next to mineral deposits to minimize bot transit times.
Track cycle durations and output frequencies per minute to ensure smelters match downstream factory needs.
Pause the game with the spacebar and press Ctrl+D to clone functioning factory cells and bot routines.
More details
Program mover drones to deliver specific parts only when factories broadcast deficit color signals.
