States Builder: Trade Empire

States Builder is an idle world-building simulator where you develop human civilization one hex at a time. The core gameplay revolves around supply chains: you log, mine, craft, and process raw materials to earn coins, then use them to upgrade facilities and expand your profits. As you progress, you unlock more land, entire continents, and eventually the whole world.

The game starts with simple woodcutting, but soon you'll afford a logging mill and board factory. Processed resources take longer to produce but yield higher profits, so you must strategize to build efficient supply chains. Each mine and processing facility has six upgrade levels, each boosting productivity and income. You can also purchase upgrades that apply to all facilities of a type and persist across levels, giving you lasting benefits.

Exploration is key: divert resources to launch balloons that scout new lands and grant coin and crystal bonuses. Once you open every hex in an area, save coins to unlock the next. When a continent is fully unlocked, you'll find a rocket; fuel it to complete the level and blast off to a new continent with fresh resources. From a single settlement to a galactic industrial civilization, States Builder lets you build through history and watch your planet become a hive of industry. If you enjoy strategy and idle games, this is for you.
