The first official screenshot of SteamWorld Heist depicts protagonist Piper in the process of shooting an adversarial robot in the head. But more intriguingly, in a recent SteamWorld Heist blog post, Julius Guldbog posted a comic describing the robotic reproductive process of Steambots: Steambots procure mechanical parts, then, with these parts, compose their Steambaby’s body (adding one part from each parent for prosperity’s sake). This is, apparently, directly related to an important, as yet unannounced, gameplay mechanic: the salvage of robotic parts for the purpose of repairs, upgrades; or the (re)production of robotic allies?
