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

  • Crafting: equipment, tools and food to help you survive
  • 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

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.

Planet Crafter

I love the game. Even without a manual, I managed to finish it. Variables can be changed to make it a new challenge each time you play.

Dopamine drip + vibes

Like Satisfactory, but even more of a incremental game. Have the satisfaction of watching numbers go up while you explore and optimize. Great progression through scary desert planet -> sort of survivable -> lush and pleasant.

Very nice game

The game is pretty awesome. I have always love the idea of terraforming planet into a livingable home. I'd say more should be added and tweaked a little bit but overall this is a fun game. It's relaxing.

Very Good

There is some similarity to Subnautica in that you explore, base build, etc. Its quite relaxed where you can progress at your own pace. I have finished one map and even after having finished a single map I'd say there is replayability in re-doing a map as you can adjust resources rates or randomise ores etc for a different experience. The DLCs add even more content to explore. Multiplayer does work with the Steam version if the Steam user launches the game directly (outside of Steam)

Mid; random bugs, poor UX

The game could've been way better than this but random bugs here and there just ruin the fun. Some of the bugs; getting teleported outside your house randomly, menus closing, loot in the air, empty portal wrecks etc. Add to that some poor UX, good luck finding what's in what container when they all have the same shape/form/color. Different endings? Cool! Wait what? They're just THREE PICTURES with SOME TEXT? ALL OF THEM? That's called laziness! I could add more, but it'll be hard without spoilers.
