They also reveal cryptic patterns all around you, tied into the ecosystem and linked to ancient alien relics. Delve deeper into the planet to unravel its secrets and determine your fate on this captivating new world.

Explore

You’ve come here to make a new start for humanity, but instead discover a world teeming with intriguing life, mysterious artifacts, and strange phenomena.

You must traverse and adapt to multiple environments ranging from tranquil glades, peaceful meadows, and rolling hills, to damp muskegs, wind-sheared canyons, molten lava fields, and frigid tundras.

Scan the flora, fauna, geological and alien landmarks to understand the environment’s function and value.

Studying the patterns that emerge in your surroundings—and how they react to your presence—are key to the advancement of your expedition on this planet.

Invent

Necessity is the mother of invention—words that have driven humanity forward throughout time.

Equipped with the Cortex OS, create bespoke designs for vehicles, equipment, and infrastructure while leveraging your creativity in a safe, virtual workshop.

From small handheld scanners to massive canyon-spanning bridges, save your inventions as blueprints to be shared and iterated on by members of your expedition.

Success on this planet is determined by your ability to engineer and materialize solutions to the challenges you encounter, so gather and use your resources wisely.

Your footprint will not go unnoticed, as the planet does not take kindly to invasive resource gathering or oppressive building projects.
