Buried Cargo

Buried Cargo is a first-person automation game where you interact with the world entirely through a terminal.

You play as a lone maintenance robot waking up inside a buried shipping container, deep beneath the remains of a forgotten civilization.

Use realistic terminal commands to connect to conveyor units, printers, extractors, and scanners.

Set up production lines, expand your small base, and unlock blueprints buried in layers of broken tech.

Build your own automation network from the inside out, not through a cluttered UI, but with a clean, readable command line.

Key Features

• Procedural Scrap Mining: Forget ore veins, every scrap block hides a random mix of materials. Extract what you need, burn the rest for energy, and push your scrapyard walls outward to uncover more.

• Modular Automation: Snap together conveyors, extractors, printers, and refiners to build flexible production chains. Deploy new, higher-capacity units to boost your output as you grow.

• Break Walls and Expand: Smash through buried walls to reveal hidden caves packed with scrap. Reinforce and convert them into usable build zones to grow your automation network.

• Terminal-Based Gameplay: Connect, configure, and control every unit through a clean text interface using real command syntax.

• No Tech Tree: Blueprints are discovered, not unlocked. Scan and disassemble scrap to uncover hidden designs and expand your build options.
