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.



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

Human Vaccuum Game with Space.

9.5/10 would recommend. Grab all of your materials, try to get the extractors running all the time and set up a bunch of stuff! Exploration is pretty cool, mid to late game it gets graphically shmexy. Relaxed pace, some meteor showers in every once in a while. Would recommend playing with friends if possible! More hands makes less "work"!

Fun terraforming game

I enjoy games like Stranded Deep and The Forest, so this was the right next choice. Good, if not, simple graphics. Good gameplay and storyline. A freat way to kill a few hundred hours.

Great game!

I do dislike the fact that this review popup keeps showing up, but that's on GOG.

A Different Flavor of Survival

I don't know that I would say the game has 'endless possibilites' as it claims, as most elements of the game are static and will be in the same place if you play through a second time or more, but it does have a different flare to it than seemingly adjacent games like Space Engineers or Satisfactory. You have resources to collect and widgets to build with their own upgrades and category classes. The way you are monitoring progress numbers gives this game shades of Cookie Clicker in that you are typically working to to make make those numbers climb in various ways. The game has steady progression and rewards, and your focus will change through various stages of terraformation, but at nominal settings the difficulty will only really spike when you manage to die from asphyxiation, dehydration or starvation while you're far afield, because you'll either spawn back at your base with a bunch of stuff dropped out of your inventory, or the last place the game saved, which can leave you stranded with little to no air when you revive and scrambling to make a quick shelter to breathe and get back your stuff. Depending on where you are that can decently challenging and provide a moment of Oxygen Not Included survival horror, if just briefly. Otherwise the game is rather casual and a good exploration adventure to unravel what's going on on the planet and what happened before you got there, or so has been my single player experience. I only knock one star off because the game is rather rough in several categories, looking like something that would fit well in the Xbox 360 era, with some world design jank and questionable physics, but that also means that it loads up near instantaneously. Could definitely use a bit more polish, but the dev team may get it there as they seem fairly dedicated to post-launch polish. If you don't mind a game looking a generation or so out of its time, you'll have a good experience here
