About the game

A space survival open world terraforming crafting game, designed for 1 to 8 players. Alter the ecosystem of an inhospitable planet to render it habitable for humanity. Survive, gather resources, and build your base. Then, generate oxygen, warmth, and pressure to create a brand new biosphere.

Embark on a chill experience alone or with up to 8 friends in online co-op. Your mission is to survive on a hostile planet and turn a barren land into a lush paradise. Terraforming is the only way!

You are sent on a hostile planet with one mission: Make it habitable for Humans. You'll have to survive, collect resources, build your base, produce machines to heat the planet, create an oxygen-rich atmosphere and eventually geo-engineer an entire planet!

Gather minerals and resources to survive. Craft all the tools you need to fulfil your mission. Explore old shipwrecks and ruins and discover a planet full of mysteries!

You'll need a base and all sorts of machines to make yourself at home, and be able to bring life to this planet! Progress through building tiers to upgrade and expand your base and explore the planet further.

See life forms appear on the planet as you terraform it by increasing heat, oxygen and pressure. Witness the first signs of life with moss and insects and unleash the planet's full potential with thick forests and animals.

From chill to hardcore, choose the difficulty level that suits you. Play with starting pre-sets to create new games and experience endless possibilities.
