What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“The game is in a playable state and Early Access is a great opportunity to involve a larger community and their feedback in the development process.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Roughly 18 months.”

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

“The full version will be far more optimized and will also contain more features like leaders of other colonies (hostile / neutral / friendly), interactions with them via a dialogue menu, a trading system, taming animals, prisoners, additional modern and future technologies and more.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Many core mechanics are already implemented like: online co-op, the building system, power systems, the technology tree, colonists and jobs, basic combat, animals, insects, enemies, wanderer communities, trader caravans and more.”

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

“With large updates and content additions the price will be slightly increased.”

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

About This Game

Note: 3-4 player co-op mode is still experimental.

A colony building game with an emphasis on unexpected events, online co-op, and managing a unique community. The story begins with nothing more than a few colonists and limited resources in an unknown world.

BUILD YOUR COLONY

With the right materials, you can build multi-story buildings, as well as a base that extends underground or into the mountains. In addition, there is a large selection of furniture, pictures and other decoration options to customize the individual rooms according to your wishes.

RESEARCH TECHNOLOGIES

Research numerous technologies and use them to unlock more advanced weapons, items, machines and other construction elements. The technology tree offers over 50 individual technology fields and is divided into 4 ages - basic, modern, computer and nuclear age.

EVENTS

While your colony is frequently visited by wanderers, traders, and other groups, less peaceful individuals may also become aware of your community. Whether it's hostile colonists, dangerous animals, or intelligent insects, you should always have a good defense strategy in place. Nature, of course, provides a number of events that can hasten the death of your colonists.

PLAY TOGETHER

If you play with another player, you will be placed in the same world and each player will control their own colonists. You can trade resources, treat each other's colonists medically, work together to deal with events and attacks, strengthen colonist relationships, and much more.

INDIVIDUAL COLONISTS

Each colonist is an individual person and has the following characteristics:

Expectations:
With every new member in your community, the expectations of all other members also increase. They can ask for their own room, specific furniture, special rooms and more.
Mood:
Your colonists' mood should always be positive; otherwise, dangerous situations can arise.
Injuries & Illnesses:
Stab wounds, bruises, bleeding, poisoning or diseases are just some of the things that can endanger the lives of your colonists.
Skills, Talents and Traits:
While your colonists aren't just distinguished by their skills and talents, they also possess defining traits that bring great benefits but also disadvantages.
