•

Collect vital materials like wood, stone, food, and more. These resources are the backbone of your settlement and must be managed wisely to sustain your population and support construction efforts.

•

Plan your settlement layout, assign roles to citizens, and manage their tasks. A strong infrastructure and well-organized workforce are key to survival and expansion.

•

Set on a planet with a shifting day/night cycle and an approaching winter add a layer of strategy. Who knows what threats are lurking in this unfamiliar solar system.

•

Equip your citizens with the means of production and defense, from headgear and to hammers. A well-equipped citizen is not only more productive but stands a better chance against the elements.

This is just the beginning. This is my dream game and I have big plans for continued development, community feedback, and meaningful updates as the game grows.
