About the Game

Build up and manage a settlement and care for your folks in this relaxing settlement builder with simulated citizens. You will need to provide shelter, guarantee a steady supply of food, resources and products, protect against the threats of nature. All the while paying attention to their well-being, to ensure your folks are happy, employed and safe.

Settle down in uncharted lands, and harvest its resources. Refine raw materials into processed goods to build and expand your settlement. Create production chains that enhance or combine materials to create even more advanced products as the needs of your settlement grows.

Establish trade routes with the nearby kingdoms to stock up on resources you don't have, or become a trade hub supplying goods and resources. Trade with one of the 3 kingdoms in singleplayer or with other players in multiplayer.

Face different challenges as your settlement grows. Manage the production and distribution of necessary resources to combat and prevent the dangers of fire, sickness and crime.

A procedurally generated world tuned to your liking, guarantees that you will never play the same game twice. Adapt to the surrounding terrain and the availability or scarcity of resources to ensure a growing and happy settlement!

  • Build a peaceful thriving settlement or enable the optional disasters or conflict mode for additional challenges.

  • Planned Steam workshop support will let you create or install new content or modify the game rules to your liking.

  • Please your citizens to attract different types of people and trade with the neighboring kingdoms.

  • Play with or against your friends or enjoy a relaxing settlement building experience alone.

...and more!
