About This Game

Land on an alien world with nothing but your wits, your tools, and your drive to thrive. Build,

explore, and automate in this sci-fi resource management game.

From humble beginnings to a sprawling space base! Construct your base from scratch using

anything you can find - from primitive resources to unknown alien materials. Unlock

blueprints, optimize your workflow with automation, and push deeper into outer space!

Uncover the mysteries of distant worlds. From ancient relics to strange ecosystems, each

planet holds its own set of secrets.

Not every species welcomes visitors. Hostile wildlife and territorial species won’t let you

exploit their planet without a fight - have your loyal robot companion O.P.H.E.L.I.A and laser

guns at hand!

Discover colonies across the stellar system and participate in intergalactic cooperation. Aid

them, trade with them, or learn from them as you discover your place in the galaxy.
