What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Early Access provides us with the opportunity to integrate community feedback, refine gameplay mechanics while still in development.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We anticipate that the game will be in Early Access for approximately 4 to 6 months. This allows us to incorporate user feedback, improve gameplay, and finish late-game mechanics.”

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

“We aim to add late-game features and expand on the existing mechanics. The explanations and tutorials will be better. We plan to implement all mechanics that are listed in Steam Page, including features that are marked as "During EA".”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current state of the Early Access version includes a fully playable game with most of the features available already. The missing are late-game features related to terraformation, luxury food and goods (population morale) and temperature. See details in About This Game section.
The game is stable and has been tested internally, but you might encounter occasional bugs or problems with balancing.”

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

“The game is offered at a reduced price during Early Access. We plan to raise the price a bit upon release of the full version”

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

“We plan to engage with the community through our Discord server and Steam forums. Regular updates will be shared about development progress, community polls and beta testing opportunities will be part of our approach.”

About This Game

Welcome to an exciting survival colony simulation game that takes you into the vastness of the cosmos!

Starting with a small group of colonists, you're tasked to mine resources, refine materials, build structures, and innovate with new technologies. Across generations and centuries, you'll expand your settlement into a thriving civilization and terraform the planet to make it your new home.

Prosper Through the Ages

Colonists are born, educated, work, retire, and die. Over generations, their needs may evolve and dedication may diminish.

Principle of Mass Conservation

Nothing simply disappears. Every bit of material transforms into something new. Resources follow their own cycles, involving production, consumption, and recycling.

Food

Transform barren soil into fertile farmland using materials from your surroundings. Melt ice for water, use the water to grow food, and then purify it for reuse. Balance these elements and watch your colony thrive on the food you produce.

Atmosphere

Convert exhaled carbon dioxide back into oxygen for your colonists. Tackle industrial pollution and manage various gases. As your base expands, maintaining atmospheric pressure becomes essential.

Industry

Begin with mining ores and minerals, refine them into advanced materials essential for constructing buildings and crafting items. With each step, transform raw resources into the foundational elements of your expanding colony.

Terraformation (during EA)

Transform the planet's surface and temperature to make it habitable by managing temperature control, ecosystem growth, and water resources. Create a breathable atmosphere and turn the planet into your new home.

… And More

  • Research: Unlock new possibilities, buildings, and recipes via the research tree.
  • Power: Generate and store energy from diverse sources.
  • Game Events: Strange things can happen in the cosmos. Some events might be nice, but some, well you will see for yourself.
  • Space Management: Deal with the material you don't need.
  • Luxury Food and Goods (during EA): Produce various items to keep colonists productive.
  • Free time (during EA): Meet colonist social needs to prevent unrest.
  • Temperature (during EA): Control the temperature within your colony and on the planet.
During EA means that mechanics is not in the game yet and we plan to finish it during Early Access.

See you underground!
