Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We believe PlanetSmith is a game that needs to grow alongside its community, so we can more easily shape it into the type of game our growing community will love and continue to play into the future.

When Early Access launches we will have the beginnings of our survival mode in place, but there's so much more to come. The scope of PlanetSmith is massive, as we want to have many types of huge procedural worlds and a spaceflight system that players can use to fly around the solar system between all of these unique worlds.

Players will eventually be able to explore large dungeons, fight exciting bosses, and collect special artefacts they can use to enhance their play.

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Our early access will be split into two stages. Stage one is Survival Mode, which will come out when we launch into Early Access. Survival Mode will be in early access for a year, and then the second stage, Multiplayer, will begin. The multiplayer stage of early access will be another year.

We expect to reach a 1.0 release in early 2028.

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

“In the full version we plan to have these features:

  • Full multiplayer
  • Tool & Weapon Smithing
  • Player Gear (Armor etc)
  • Farming
  • Boss fights
  • Ship Building
  • Space Exploration
  • Alien Worlds

Those are all the features we are planning for the 1.0 release. However that doesn't mean we won't continue working on the game, adding more content for you to explore and enjoy.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“When early access launches we will have the beginnings of survival mode in place, and creative mode is completely available. Players can create planets of any size and there is a small amount of survival mode content. Multiplayer is not available, and neither is the space travel or shipbuilding aspects of the game.”

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

“Yes. We plan to gradually increase the price as we move between the stages of Early Access development.”

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

“We already do! Our growing community has already proved to be extremely helpful in the development of PlanetSmith. If you're interested in joining our community and submitting feedback or suggestions, make sure to join the PlanetSmith Discord!”

About This Game

After disaster strikes a remote moon research base, your escape pod malfunctions and crash-lands on an Earth-like planet. Stranded with limited supplies, you must explore your surroundings, gather resources, and build shelter to survive.

Once your basic needs are met, your goal becomes clear: build a new ship and escape the planet. But you quickly discover you are not alone. Hostile creatures roam the surface, and you must fight to survive. Are they connected to the catastrophe that left you stranded?

Escaping the planet is only the beginning. Launch back into space and explore other planets and moons as you uncover what happened to the research base, why no one has come to rescue you, and how this mysterious threat has infected the solar system. Your journey back to civilization will not be easy and the entire galaxy may depend on you.


Survival Mode drops you into a procedurally generated Earth-like world with nothing but your escape pod and your instincts. 

Start by crafting basic tools to gather resources through foraging, hunting, and mining. Cook food to stay alive, build shelter to protect yourself from hostile creatures, and upgrade your equipment to survive increasingly dangerous threats. As you grow stronger, you’ll unlock farming, advanced crafting, and the ability to forge powerful gear and armor from rare ores hidden deep underground.

Explore diverse biomes filled with unique resources, creatures, and dangers. Delve into dungeons, battle hostile enemies, and take on powerful bosses guarding valuable technology and materials. Each victory unlocks the technology and materials you need to build your spaceship and return to space.

Eventually, survival turns into exploration on a cosmic scale. Build your own spaceship, take to the skies, and pilot your way to other moons and planets across the solar system. New worlds bring harsher conditions, tougher enemies, and more advanced resources, challenging you to adapt once again as the mystery of the system unfolds.

S

Creative Mode removes all limits and lets you focus purely on building, experimentation, and artistic expression. With no story, no survival pressure, and unlimited resources, the entire solar system becomes your canvas.

Build freely using a hexagon-based construction system that opens up new shapes and design possibilities not possible with traditional block grids. From intricate architecture to sweeping landscapes, Creative Mode encourages you to think beyond straight lines and flat worlds.

Carve, sculpt, and reshape entire planets into living dioramas. Hollow out worlds, create floating cities, or craft detailed scenes that wrap seamlessly around fully spherical planets. Whether you’re working on a small artistic vignette or transforming an entire planet, the scale is entirely up to you.

Designed to be relaxing and meditative, express yourself, and enjoy the simple joy of creation just for the sake of making something beautiful.

Every world in the solar system is fully procedural, generated using simulation-driven climate and terrain models to create believable, explorable planets.

Our biome placement is guided by climate systems such as temperature, elevation, rainfall, and latitude. This means deserts form where you expect them, forests grow in suitable climates, and icy regions gather near the poles. By following real-world environmental logic, exploration becomes more intuitive and rewarding. Players can predict where certain resources and biomes are likely to exist, making discovery feel natural instead of random.

But PlanetSmith isn’t limited to Earth-like worlds.

Beyond familiar environments lie strange and wonderful alien landscapes. You may discover methane ocean worlds, bizarre geological formations, and maze-like terrain that twists across entire planets. Each new moon or planet brings unexpected environments, resources, and challenges to uncover.

WHERE WE ARE HEADING

  • Embark on a journey of discovery after awakening in a mysterious new world teeming with opportunities, challenges and hidden dangers. Explore and gather essential resources to construct shelters to ensure survival and success.

  • Forge tools that enable you to dig deep into the earth, unearthing hidden treasures and uncovering ancient secrets. Gather precious materials and grow crafting prowess, which leads to the ability to fashion increasingly advanced gear that opens up new horizons of exploration.

  • Choose a destiny – tame the planet and its mysteries, or become the ultimate explorer by designing and building an interplanetary spaceship capable of taking you to the stars.

  • Dive into a tranquil realm of boundless creativity with Creative Mode. Step into a world where imagination sets the course – sculpt landscapes, erect monumental structures, craft intricate houses, or even breathe life into colossal characters; the possibilities are ready and waiting to be defined. Unleash artistic spirit, design awe-inspiring monuments, and then proudly showcase any creations, inviting others to marvel at these displays of ingenuity.
