Press HERE for instructions on how to use multiplayer in GOG version of the game.







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 fulfill 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.

The Planet Crafter is unique among sci-fi survival sandbox titles, featuring depth and complexity but on a planetary scale. It could use some quality-of-life features, but the compelling gameplay, exploration and aesthetic make it hard to put down.

The Planet Crafter is a cool survival crafting game with lots of possibilities. It just would have had more of an impact with a good end-game goal or a story peppered in.

Very Chill relaxing survival/building

So far Im enjoying being able to just go explore. Build as I need to and have started exploring wrecks. No enemies in this game but you start with a small O2 tank and must start diving into wrecks for "space food" before the food growers unlock to build. Good way to push players forward without shoving hard.

very good game

Very good first-person terraforming game. The pace is quite well-controlled until the end; you don't feel like you're stagnating or having to farm for hours to progress. I love how the level design evolves as you advance. However, I found this aspect a bit sloppy at times: the jetpacks allow us to access fairly advanced areas by 'climbing' certain cliffs. Maybe this is intended by the game, but the tops of the cliffs are very crudely physicalized, and there are no items, which suggests that we're not supposed to access them.

This game tickles my autism

While the graphics are nothing to go crazy for, the game itself is amazing. The building is simple and fun to indulge in. The games progression is almost perfectly paced. It does seem to be sentient and upgrade my heaters to tier 3 right after building all my tier 2s. I highly recommend this game to anyone who likes subnautica or other survival games of this caliber.
