What is the Engineer building in Steamworld Build?
In SteamWorld Build, the Engineer Building is a special structure that houses the Engineer Robot. These robots play a vital role in providing labor and tax revenue for your town. Unlike other buildings, you don’t need to create an Engineer building from scratch; Instead, you can upgrade existing worker housing.
To perform upgrades, you need resources such as metal, wood, plastic, and diesel. After upgrading, the Engineer Building can accommodate 10 Engineer Robots, with each Engineer contributing 1 unit of labor and 2 units of tax revenue. These buildings were vital to the growth of the town as they provided the resources needed to construct and maintain other buildings. Without Engineer buildings, your town may struggle to progress and meet development needs in SteamWorld Build.

steam world game
SteamWorld Build is a game that combines different types of games. First, players must create and manage a mining town on a strange planet. They build roads, houses and other things for the people in the town. It is important to meet residents’ needs to ensure they are satisfied. As players continue, they unlock new buildings and technologies and can make their workers better. The town’s success is measured by achieving targets based on total population.
Once the player has collected enough materials to repair the mine, the second part of the game begins. In this installment, players not only build a working mine, but also recruit miners to explore an old, abandoned mine. The goal is to find ancient technology that might help them leave Earth.
Along the way, players must collect ores and resources to expand their town. Miners need weapons to face the monsters in the mines. As a town gets larger, it attracts more engineers, allowing the player to recruit more miners and increase the town’s mining capabilities.
