Planetaries

Prepare to dive into a sci-fi open world survival adventure. Set in a time when humanity has expanded its reach beyond the confines of Earth, immerse yourself in a rich galaxy. Craft, build, mine, trade, explore, and fight your way through a living universe filled with alien life, mysteries, pirates, droids, and much more.

Progression and Mechanics

Explore, gather resources, and complete contracts to earn rewards. Engage in daring raids to secure valuable loot or focus on collecting crucial data to advance your levels and accrue tech points. Use these resources to unlock new technologies and crafting blueprints. Upgrade your gear and equipment to take on increasingly challenging contracts or brave perilous environments on hostile the planet, ensuring your survival and success in your adventures.

Build Your Legacy

Build your base of operations, whether it's a fortified bunker to withstand enemy assaults, an industrial outpost for farming and trade, or a temporary shelter for your adventures. Construct essential facilities like particle accelerators, energy generators, vehicle pads, and more to support your goals and survival in this vast and challenging planet. Each choice shapes your gameplay and strategies, offering diverse opportunities for exploration and success.

Tower Defense and Combat

Construct your Tech Data Beacon and brace yourself to fend off relentless waves of hostile enemies drawn to its signal. Alternatively, you might choose to focus solely on survival by hunting aliens and battling the dangers of the world. If raiding and plundering suit your style, target other outposts for their valuable loot. Or perhaps you’re an intrepid adventurer seeking thrills in perilous caves, taking on hazardous contracts for the ultimate challenge.

Gathering Resources

Explore, gather, collect, and harvest a diverse range of resources. Utilize your advanced gathering laser to kickstart your resource collection journey, extracting rare matter essential for crafting and construction. Venture into deep mines to extract valuable crystals coveted by traders for their currency value, or hunt alien fauna for their organic matter.

Contracts and Exploration

Explore a variety of outposts to acquire contracts from reputable contractors, then dive into completing these tasks for both rewards and the excitement of facing adventure and danger head on. Or traverse the world, uncover valuable loot, level up your skills, reveal hidden secrets, and stumble upon new outposts and points of interest.

CO-OP Multiplayer

Create or join a multiplayer game to team up with friends or random players, collaborating to build, adventure, fight, and craft together. In this expansive world.
