Games Like Beyond the Cradle

Start with a small colony. Build the network that takes it beyond its first world.

Beyond the Cradle is a space incremental about building colonies and connecting their production. Place your industry on the surfaces of distinctive planets and moons, turn raw materials into useful parts, and keep your growing network supplied.

BUILD A WORKING COLONY

Place extractors, factories and storage, then connect them with conveyor belts. Route liquids through pipes and adapt each production line to the terrain. From your first machines to belts above lava, every connection is part of the factory you design.

CONNECT YOUR WORLDS

Send probes to explore new destinations, establish colonies, and move supplies between them. Ports and reusable cargo ships turn separate outposts into a network. Materials travel in vehicles and ships, so transport is part of the factory you build.

KEEP THE SYSTEM MOVING

Balance production with power, fuel, and storage. Follow resource rates, investigate bottlenecks, and improve the infrastructure that holds the rest of your network back.

Unlock new structures, production options, and upgrades. Expand from your first colony into a wider interplanetary industry, one connected process at a time.
