About the Game

LithoBreak is a science-driven industrial survival game about rebuilding from a damaged foothold on a hostile moon.

The long-term dream is a game where first-person survival, console-driven site command, material science, part wear, automation, and exploration grow from one fragile site into a wider industrial network. The current Early Access build is much smaller than that. We are rebuilding the first-site loop in public and keeping the store page aligned with what players can actually try.

Why Follow Development

LithoBreak is being developed openly, with public updates tied to the full moon. Some updates are builds. Some are devlogs. Some are small steps that reconnect one system at a time.

Join in now if you want to support an experimental engineering-minded survival game while it is being rebuilt, give feedback on the first-site loop, and watch the larger promise become playable piece by piece.

If you want a polished, complete factory-builder today, you should wishlist.

Build & Explore

Explore an open lunar landscape in first-person as you stake out the perfect location for your base. Construct your buildings using modular hexagonal building pieces, shaping sprawling factories and outposts to your liking. As meteor showers rain down and the VECS threat grows, your sturdy structures double as shelter – keeping operations safe while you expand.

Automate & Adapt

Master automation to thrive in this unforgiving environment. Design efficient conveyor systems and processing machines to handle resources while you focus on the big picture. Every machine is built from parts that wear down over time – craft higher-grade components to extend their lifespan, and replace damaged parts to keep production running smoothly. Adjust your factory and strategies to survive the challenges of deep space.

Key Features

  • First-Person & Top-Down Building: Switch seamlessly between immersive first-person exploration and a strategic top-down view for construction.

  • Modular Construction: Design your buildings piece by piece with snap-together hex modules to shape custom factories and fortifications.

  • Innovative Transport Systems: Utilize automated rovers and design flexible conveyor networks to transport resources across your colony and streamline production.

  • Material-Based Durability: Craft parts from various resources – higher quality materials mean longer-lasting components.

  • Part Wear & Repair: Machinery wears out over time – store spare parts to keep your operations running smoothly.

Join us as we strive to reclaim independence from corporate oppressors and shape the future of deep-space survival. With each stage, LithoBreak grows closer to the ultimate vision of science-driven exploration, cooperative building, and emergent storytelling.
