About the Game

You are a lumberjack, skilled in the trade of felling large trees with your highly sharpened axe in just a swing or two. You know your way around the lumber yard like the back of your hand, sawing planks in every imaginable dimension required to finish up your own dream project. No - your very own wonder... THE EIFFEL TOWER! You enjoy the tranquillity of the forest, the sound of the pouring brook, and the birds as you haul large logs to your building site. The sweat and the buzzing mosquitoes don't bother you as long as you can bring that fine wood into the shape of the French iron tower.

You need conveyor belts, ore miners and some sort of cutting machine, but those things require power, and that doesn’t grow on trees. Steam power, yeah, that’s the way forward. You place a steam engine next to the saw mill, but to create steam, you need water. Where did I place that pump?

Good thing you also have a degree in plumbing from the University of Life. You lay pipes, connecting them to the machines, opening the valve to let the water flow. Good, only one thing left, a couple of sturdy logs into the fire of the Steam Engine, and everything should get moving... hopefully.

Build

Harness the valuable resources of the forest, build lodges and sawmills to process and produce all things needed to complete your wonder.

Automate

Manage your productivity by automating machines. Make sure that every resource is put to good use.

Explore the world

Some resources are scarce to find but crucial for your dream project. Make sure you explore your surroundings, mark everything you find, you never know when it might come in handy.

FEATURES

• Open World: Procedurally generated, allowing for every game session to be unique. Who are we kidding? It will only be slightly different, really. We are just lazy devs making terrain generation so we don't have to build a huge world, and another one when you get tired of the first world we built.

• Conveyor belts: Manage your production lines with conveyor belts, neat and tidy or complete chaos, your call!

• Pipes: Always wanted to be a plumber? No? Well, it's quite fun building a pipe system.

• Never-ending day: The sun will never set in Lumber Plumber!

• Family friendly: Rating TBD, but surely the friendliest of ratings.

PLANNED FEATURES

• Co-Op: Build, cut down trees and yell TIIIIMBEEEER together with your friends, online!

• More wonders, pick your favourite: Colosseum, Taj Mahal, Empire State Building, Big Ben, Great Pyramid of Giza
