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
  • Base Building: shelter from a hostile environment and expand your exploration
  • 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
  • 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
  • Creative mode

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.

Satisfying...

One can sink some serious hours into this, building and seeing things flourishing...

A straighforward good time.

If you've played games like satisfactory or subnautica this game has many similar mechanics. It's resource and meter management with new equipment allowing you to explore further from your base. It's great if you love those kinds of games.

Good fun with friends

After the initial struggle with Port Forwarding, this is great fun with friends! Steam Players can play with you as well. They just have to launch thier game through the exe file Directly instead of Launching it through the Steam Launcher.

One wqord. Addictive

I find myself getting easily lost in the process of pushing those terrforming numbers up. I give it 5 out of 5 Gaia's and look forward to more expansions of the game.
