Hydroneer is a mining and base-building sandbox developed and published by UK indie studio Foulball Hangover — one of the most satisfying and quietly ambitious mining games available on PC, and a genuine sleeper hit that surpassed one million copies sold on Steam since its May 2020 launch. You start with primitive hand tools — a pan, a shovel — digging in a stream for flecks of gold, and through an organic tycoon-style progression you acquire land, build hydro-powered machines, construct pipe networks to control water pressure, and automate your operation into a sprawling industrial extraction empire.

Key Features: • Hydro-pipe networks — build and manage water pressure systems to power all mining machinery • Voxel terrain — dig caves, quarry pits and tunnels in any direction • Tycoon-style progression — from hand panning for gold to fully automated industrial operation • Forge weapons, craft jewellery, go fishing · couch co-op split screen + online multiplayer
