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 want to use early access as an opportunity to engage with user feedback and add more features to the game outside the core factory experience, including more in-game content, extended mod support, a more bug-free experience, and better user interfaces.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Our current estimate is 1–2 years, but we’ll leave Early Access once the game is feature complete and polished to both our standards and the community’s expectations.”

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

“We plan for the full version to have more support for mods and factory-related content for late game, including new buildings, planets, and more sophisticated space logistics and combat systems.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current state of the game in Early Access already offers all features shown in the "About This" section.”

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

“We plan to gradually raise the price as we implement new features in the future.”

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

“We plan to involve the community throughout development via the game’s Steam Community Hub (Discussions, announcements, and patch notes) and our official Discord. We’ll use these channels to collect bug reports, balance feedback, and feature/QoL suggestions, then reflect priorities and progress in regular updates. Community playtesting and feedback will directly inform what we polish and build next.”

About This Game

BUILD YOUR FACTORY

Set up a basic factory on your first planet to facilitate research and rocket production for space exploration! Build easily with a ghost-marking system, where you can pre-plan your factory out before you have the resources to build everything. Belts are double-sided and you can distribute your items using splitters and underground belts. You use loaders and unloaders to load items to/from belts and buildings - multiple loaders/unloaders can be chained together to feed the same destination, allowing for very dense factory setups.

MIND YOUR NEIGHBORS

Sometimes the locals on yours planets don't take too kindly to all the pollution and automation happening there. Fortunately, you have defenses at your disposal to fend off the attacks. Once you're ready, you can also produce your own troops from barracks and use them to attack the spawners. Eradicating all enemy nests will stop all future attack waves on that planet.

COLONIZE MORE PLANETS

Boil some water and you can go to space! Deployer rockets can be used to colonize new planets, after which you'll gain a clone of yourself on every planet you colonize to instantly switch between. Each galaxy has hundreds of planets you can (and eventually need) to set up base on, and you'll need better rockets to venture further than your home system.

INTER PLANETARY LOGISTICS

Different planets have different natural resources. Extract and ship these resources between manufacturing hubs on various planets to build a conglomeration of inter-planet logistics.

PILOT YOUR FLEET

Produce and manage hundreds of ships to do your bidding across planets both friendly and hostile. All ships have expendable fuel and ammo - you need to maintain proper logistics and refueling stops, unless you want to frequently send rockets to bail out your stranded ships.

BUILD BEAUTIFUL FACTORIES

Sometimes it's a vibe to just observe your factory at work. Just make sure you don't stare for too long and get attacked or run out of ore!
