Powdertron

Game overview

Powdertron is a sandbox simulation game for PC that combines physics, chemistry, and electronics. In this game, you can manipulate a wide range of materials to observe how they interact based on real-world properties and scientific principles. Players can engage in a physics playground where they can mix, heat, and transform materials using various methods, all rendered in a live simulation environment.

Physics and chemistry

The game includes 674 materials, each with specific properties like density, melting point, and boiling point, as well as 1,409 reaction rules that dictate interactions. Players can paint various substances onto a canvas of up to 120,000 cells, exploring reactions such as rusting iron or sodium reacting with water. You can adjust environmental conditions including temperature and gravity, which leads to complex occurrences like combustion and structural collapse at a cellular level.
