Since it was recently announced that four (!!!) new SteamWorld games are in the works, the first of which is SteamWorld Build, I've been revisiting the past games, and I was reminded how much I love them, the wild swings into different genres that are each weird takes on those genres, and of course, how much I love the bonkers timeline of the setting. I even found the devs' older dev vlogs, where I learned more about the lore and setting (which is making me want to play the one game I started but didn't finish, SteamWorld Quest).

So for fun, here's where each game fits together in the timeline, in release order instead of chronologically, because that's part of what I love. (No spoilers for individual game stories if I can help it, and focused on the setting rather than the characters with one notable exception)
