Description




Embark on a chill experience alone or with up to 10+ friends in online co-op. Your mission is to survive on a hostile planet and turn a barren land into a lush paradize. Terraforming is the only way!

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.



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



  • Multiplayer: survive by yourself or with friends (1-10+ online co-op)
  • Survival: Thirst, Oxygen, Temperature and Health mechanics

  • Terraformation: turn an entire hostile planet to a habitable paradise!
  • Build machines to create atmospheric pressure and heat the planet
  • Create a biosphere with breathable oxygen
  • See your environment change as your terraformation progresses
  • Creatures: create life by decrypting and mixing DNA extracts and make your own animals
  • Procedurally generated shipwrecks: explore and find infinite rare loot
  • Chill experience with no violence: the only enemy you'll have to fight is the hostile environment
  • Adjustable difficulty to fit your level
  • Adjustable presets for renewed experiences through time

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.

Stupidly addictive.

One of those games that just absorbs free time into itself never to be seen again.

Nope. Would not buy again.

No tutorial. Zero explanation of anything. To add to that it seems so bare bones that it's kinda just boring.

pretty good.

A rather good game where you are doing something that really should be done by a specialised ship rather then a single person, where you have terraform a planet, which will actually change how the planet looks, the first planet is big, and you will need to build a lot of stuff so that it works at a decent speed, with the only real problem being oxygen and finding the right meterials.

Surprisingly fun, with friends

I played the demo alone and was not really sold out, but once my friend joined in it became fun. It's kinda ugly when we start but that's normal since there is nothing around, eventually it gets nice. I'm at around 35hrs as I write this and I don't intend to stop soon.
