From the Steam store

Penkura combines top-down base building with first-person survival and exploration on an alien world.

Build and expand your base, gather resources, automate work with programmable bots, encounter those who still inhabit this world, and uncover what happened to those who came before.

Take control of your base through the Command Center's tactical top-down view. Construct specialized facilities, manage power generation, hydrogel production, storage, and manufacturing systems. Expand your infrastructure while keeping the resources needed for production flowing.

Every journey beyond your base comes with risks. Gather supplies, manage your basic needs, and prepare for hostile creatures and unfamiliar environments.

PRAWIA allows you to program bot companions using commands, conditions, and repeating routines. Automate resource collection, item transportation, and farming tasks, including harvesting and seed extraction. Test and modify your programs to make your bots work the way you want.

Use your scanner to study unfamiliar objects, plants, and structures, adding discoveries to your Codex. Gather materials for crafting and production, explore new locations, and search for resources that will help you develop your base and equipment.

Explore abandoned facilities, investigate scattered records, and encounter the people who still live on this world. Conversations and discoveries reveal pieces of its history, allowing you to gradually understand the events that shaped the planet and its inhabitants.
