Free Build Map is Live!

Modulus: Digital Artbook · published 16 Apr 2026, 12:59 UTC

All newsPlayers around this dateRead on Steam

It's here, Module Makers,
The Free Build Map is now available in Modulus!

When we previewed this last week the response blew us away, and we can't wait to see what you build with a bit more room to breathe. From today, when you start a new save you'll be able to choose between the Classic Map and the Free Build Map; more space, logical Polyrock layouts, and no terrain constraints getting in the way of your factory vision.

The Classic Map isn't going anywhere. Two ways to play, one game. Pick your challenge.We have also tweaked the tutorial to include the fact that you can place belts through miners, as many players reported not realising this for several hours. Additionally, the update includes the following fix:

  • Fixed softlock when trying to link harvester pad drone to a building

Also live today: Steam Trading Cards!

Collect, trade, and show off your love for Modulus. Cards drop as you play, so get on the factory floor and start earning them.

We Are Going Live

We am going live in just under 30 mins to show off the new Free Build Map. So join Jarvs in chat and hang out as she tries to make a more organised factory than her previous spaghetti filled attempts. 

Twitch YouTube TikTok

She will also be drawing the winner of both the Screenshot Contest merch bundle on stream.

As always, let us know what you think in the comments or over on Discord. And if there's something else you'd love to see in a future update, you know where to find us, the Feature Upvote Board is open!

See you on the factory floor. — Team Happy Volcano
