Buy out your competition and take control of the Martian market in a strategy game where money, not military force, is your greatest weapon.

Claim victory against other corporations
Leave Earth behind and start up a major corporation on Mars to claim your fortune! Establish yourself as the dominant offworld company in a game that's unique every time you play.


Use the Black Market to trip up your enemies
Battle isn’t limited to the board room; you can employ some more... underhanded methods for victory. You - and your opponents - should prepare to deal with pirate raiders, or hackers trying to disrupt production, or a covert electromagnetic pulse to your base, and much more.


Play solo or connect online with friends
Play online in games for up to 8 players, or try one of the single player campaigns, skirmishes, or daily challenges.


Check out some of the special livestreams
Soren, other members of the dev team, fans, and staff will be streaming live on the Offworld Steam page all weekend to showcase the game throughout the weekend. Stop in, say hello, and play a game or two, then share your thoughts with us!

• Tutorials have been updated
• Players can now see their Masquerade name while when playing in Masquerade mode
• Some colony classes have had their resource price minimums lowered. In the Daily Challenge mode the best move was sometimes just throwing down a large number of mines or quarries on an easy to access resource, and because the resource would never drop below $30 a player could just sell that one resource until they had won. This change to address that situation and encourage more interesting strategies.
• Increased precision of the server game timer.

As expressed by the community recently, extra claims can be extremely powerful. In fact, this reward for founding late was so strong that many players would only found without it in the most dire of circumstances. Early claims are being adjusted so that in games of 4 players or less everyone will receive an extra claim eventually.

• Last four players to found now all receive a free claim (last to found on HQ2, then HQ3, HQ4, HQ5) regardless of number of players in the game

Several small changes are being made to Black Market items to add consistency and bring costs in line with the power each item brings. Spies and Holograms will now have a cooldown, preventing a player with an early lead from taking them all cheaply to get a significant advantage. Meanwhile, Return a Claim and Core Samples have had their cooldowns reduced to encourage their use.

• Return a Claim Black Market item can now be purchased when in D Debt
• Changed Black Market cooldown for Bribe a Claim to 90 seconds (up from 60)
• Changed Black Market cooldown for Holograms, Spies, Return a Claim, and Core Sample to 30 seconds.
• Pirates now steal 200 resources
• Pirates and Magnetic Storms are more likely to appear

Patents are receiving some small adjustments, focused on making energy slightly more accessible and bringing Transparent Aluminum’s power down.

• Energy Vault now produces 2 backup Energy (up from 1)
• Transparent Aluminum now costs 60 chems (up from 40)
• Perpetual Motion now costs 40 chems (down from 60)

• Nomads now receive the correct Black Market time when founding
• Infinite Challenge Leaderboard now properly updates when played from the Ranked Queue
• Geothermal Borehole Auctions will no longer occur on maps where no Geothermal Vents are present
• Overflow bug and formatting fixed for very large amounts of cash
• Players can once again see number of players in FFA queue while in the 1v1 queue
• Fixed an error with “Infinite Win (Io)” Achievement
• Fixed border color artifacts on Medium and Low Rendering Quality

"Greetings Offworld CEOs! Work continues on Offworld, and with the recent launch of SpaceX’s Falcon Heavy, this seemed a good time to touch on an idea that’s core to Offworld Trading Company: the privatization of space back here on Earth."

In "Limited Supply," your main goal is simple: survive.

This was the only objective for the first pioneers from Earth before business on Mars started booming.

Play through over a dozen challenging scenarios and overcome the struggles of settling on Mars by aiding the growing colonies and ensuring their healthy futures.

https://youtu.be/FrzmtVZhZN8


New Scenarios
Experience over a dozen new missions, each with their own challenges! Each new scenario has unique rule sets and locations that will take you on a fun and exciting journey as humanity settles on Mars.

Changing Environment
As you progress through the scenarios, you will face different restrictions on what you're able to buy and sell. In order to survive, you'll have to constantly re-evaluate your strategies and adapt to each new location and challenge.

Evolving Technologies
In a normal game of Offworld, you'd build up your business so that you could buy out your competition. Instead, you'll need to meet a list of objectives set by the colony. As you progress, the tech you have access to becomes more advanced - but, so do the colony's requests!

Unique Challenges
This DLC breaks the core rule of Offworld Trading Company, which is "buy what you want, when you want (as long as you've got the cash)." Each scenario has a different ruleset that restricts what resources you're allowed to buy and sell - even essentials like food, water, fuel and oxygen! Failing to maintain a steady supply and manage your resources effectively could mean catastrophe for the colony - and for you.

A New Way to Play
Instead of the head-to-head "buy or be bought out" combat in a normal game of Offworld, this DLC lets you experience the game through a series of puzzles needing to be solved. There is no stock market, no competing businesses - your only competition here is Mars itself.

Check out the new building versions:

Hacker Array: Well, it ain't Vegas, but it'll have to do. Take your chances and make luck your mistress while styling the goofy roulette version, or embrace the retro feel with an old-style radio tower.

Offworld Market: The colors, Duke, the colors! Launch your goods offworld and hope the popsicle rocket doesn't melt, or change to a sleek retro rocket to make your opponents envious of your sweet ride.

Pleasure Dome: Disco Inferno, baby! Tear up the dance floor inside a giant disco ball, or leave your platform shoes at home and enjoy some space burgers at a retro-styled diner. Just...don't order the special.

Optimization Center: Careful not to burst anyone's bubble while you optimize your resources in a silly bubble machine, or give your opponents a little shock with the retro-styled Tesla coil.

Patent Lab: Research some science inside a giant Rubik's cube (we DARE you not to get distracted trying to match the sides!), or get ahead of your opponents in a building that looks suspiciously like the robot's head from "Forbidden Planet."
