Synergy 1.0 Brings City Building to New Worlds
Build Smarter, Grow Stronger: Synergy 1.0 Launches on Steam
You’re in charge of shaping the future of a civilization that relies on you to adapt, lead, and grow. In Synergy, a unique city builder now in full 1.0 release on Steam, you build your settlement from the ground up, one smart decision at a time.
Instead of rushing through the motions, you’ll spend time analyzing your surroundings and learning how to survive off the land. You’ll study new plant life, manage your workers, and assign tasks to make your city more efficient. If you're a fan of Frostpunk, Timberborn, or The Wandering Village, you'll feel right at home; Synergy blends strategic planning with environmental awareness in a beautifully animated world.
After nearly a year in Early Access and a wave of positive feedback, Synergy has officially launched with expanded features, fresh mechanics, and deeper systems that reward smart planning.
Study the World Around You
Before you start expanding, take the time to study your environment. Every plant, rock, and landscape feature gives you insight into how your settlement should grow. As you examine each natural element, you fill your Knowledge Book with valuable data, giving you clear guidance as you plan your next move.
You’re not just building for the sake of expansion. You’re working with nature to push forward without overreaching.
Drive Research and Progress
Assign your citizens to research hubs like the Hall of Wisdom and push your society forward. You’ll split your focus between technological upgrades and cultural progress, each one adding new tools and structures that help your city run better.
Technology introduces new techniques to improve productivity. Culture improves processes and enhances civic life. You’ll need both if you want your people to thrive.
Build Strategic Districts
Your city isn’t just one big block—it’s made of nine unique districts. How you arrange buildings inside each one directly affects your growth. Each district offers different bonuses, so placing structures wisely creates powerful combinations that fuel progress.
As your districts expand, you’ll start to see the ripple effects of smart placement. The right synergy (no pun intended) between buildings can boost happiness, efficiency, and development across your entire city.
Send Citizens on Expeditions
Your job doesn’t stop at the city border. You can send your people on expeditions to learn more about surrounding regions. These journeys bring back knowledge, resources, and opportunities that can shape how your society grows.
What you learn out there can shift your strategy back home. It’s all about staying flexible, taking in new information, and applying it where it counts.
Keep People Happy and Productive
No matter how efficient your city becomes, you won’t get far without taking care of your citizens. Their happiness affects everything—from how quickly they work to how willing they are to participate in research or expeditions.
Balancing growth with well-being is key. As you build more advanced infrastructure, make sure your people have what they need: clean air, food, safety, and community.
