The SteamWorld universe is known for its post-apocalyptic environment; it's usually set in the desert - SteamWorld Build is no different. Players must create and manage a city in a deserted world while exploring under the ground to find ancient technology. However, the developers decided to spice up SteamWorld Build a little and added game themes not too long after its release in early December 2023.
SteamWorld Build: Beginner Tips & Tricks
Establishing a steam-powered city from the ground is complicated, but these beginner tips equip SteamWorld Build players with the necessary knowledge.
Gamers who'd like to play SteamWorld Build in a different environment might want to consider changing the game's theme. This guide will show them exactly how this feature works so that they can change it in order to meet their preferences.
How to Change SteamWorld Build Game Theme
While the default desert theme is fun and fits the typical SteamWorld environment, it's always fun to try out other options. Players can select their preferred theme right away while creating a new game, or they can change it by pausing the game, opening the Options menu, and choosing the Theme in the Graphics tab.
Even if players start with a certain theme, they can always change it later on. This works just like a cosmetic skin; it's simply an aesthetic change and won't actually modify how the city works or any other gameplay features.
Available Themes
At the moment, there aren't many theme options in SteamWorld Build. The game received the Jingle Bolts theme when the option was released as an additional for the holiday season, and that's it for now.
Future game updates will most likely bring new themes to SteamWorld Build. It would be unlikely that this would be a one-time thing, and the developers will probably add more options for other events, such as Halloween, for example.
While players wait for more themes, they can make the most of the Jingle Bolts theme. It turns the post-apocalyptic world of SteamWorld Build into a charming winter wonderland, so it's a nice change of scenery. Those who aren't too fond of the snowy environment can simply set their game back to default and enjoy the warm, classic SteamWorld franchise atmosphere.
