What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We believe great games are built in partnership with their communities. By sharing LithoBreak early, we can integrate your feedback and ideas into the core experience. Since our initial release, community insights have helped us refine mining elements, expand story content, and evolve core systems—including introducing multiplayer earlier. We look forward to continuing this collaborative journey through Early Access.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We follow a “quality over speed” philosophy at Tau Ceti Labs. The roadmap includes 5 stages, and we are coming up on the release of Stage 2.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“For the final release, we have a professionally voiced story-driven 'tutorial' in the works.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Right now, Early Access includes the multiplayer mode. Key features you can enjoy today:

First-person exploration and top-down building
Mining of ceramic materials with unique elemental and engineering properties
Ceramic and metal material processing equipment
Part production where material properties directly affect quality
Equipment and Buildings that are visually constructed from individual produced parts”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Yes. The price will increase periodically as new stages release, reflecting the added content and improvements over the course of development.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We actively invite player feedback on everything from mining mechanics to station aesthetics. Your suggestions help shape LithoBreak’s evolution. Join our Discord or the Steam discussion forums to share ideas, report bugs, and help us make the game better for everyone.”

About This Game

Build. Repair. Survive. In LithoBreak, a science-driven survival factory-builder, you'll explore a distant moon, construct a high-tech base, and automate production lines to endure relentless cosmic threats. Fans of Factorio, Satisfactory, and Space Engineers will feel right at home – yet discover a fresh experience grounded in real physics and engineering.

Build & Explore

Explore an open lunar landscape in first-person as you stake out the perfect location for your base. Construct your buildings using modular hexagonal building pieces, shaping sprawling factories and outposts to your liking. As meteor showers rain down and the VECS threat grows, your sturdy structures double as shelter – keeping operations safe while you expand.

Automate & Adapt

Master automation to thrive in this unforgiving environment. Design efficient conveyor systems and processing machines to handle resources while you focus on the big picture. Every machine is built from parts that wear down over time – craft higher-grade components to extend their lifespan, and replace damaged parts to keep production running smoothly. Adjust your factory and strategies to survive the challenges of deep space.

Key Features

  • First-Person & Top-Down Building: Switch seamlessly between immersive first-person exploration and a strategic top-down view for construction.

  • Modular Construction: Design your buildings piece by piece with snap-together hex modules to shape custom factories and fortifications.

  • Innovative Transport Systems: Utilize automated rovers and design flexible conveyor networks to transport resources across your colony and streamline production.

  • Material-Based Durability: Craft parts from various resources – higher quality materials mean longer-lasting components.

  • Part Wear & Repair: Machinery wears out over time – store spare parts to keep your operations running smoothly.

New in Stage 2

  • Building Systems – Construct buildings from hexagon modules to create factories and personal cover from incoming meteors.

  • Multiplayer – Play in co-op, letting you tackle new challenges together.

  • Metal Materials – Produce base metals and alloys with an array of smelting and refining equipment.

  • Metal Production – Process metal ingots into a variety of stock materials (slabs, plates, sheets, ...) in the process of making metal parts.

Join us as we strive to reclaim independence from corporate oppressors and shape the future of deep-space survival. With each stage, LithoBreak grows closer to the ultimate vision of science-driven exploration, cooperative building, and emergent storytelling.
