About the Game

Moonsteader is a cosy survival-lite game about starting from nothing and slowly building a settlement you're proud to call home.

Settle on a moon on the edge of the galaxy. Gather resources, pan for valuable minerals, mine, recycle scrap, and craft the tools you need to survive and thrive. Expand your own homestead with new buildings, upgrade your equipment, and create a frontier that's uniquely yours.

You're not the only one trying to make a living out here. The local town needs help too. Repair broken machines, build new structures, and lend a hand to the people around you as they improve their homes and businesses. The more you put into the community, the more it grows alongside you.

Keeping the frontier running means keeping its machinery running. Build, repair and maintain a range of machines and technology that make everyday life easier, unlock new opportunities and help both your homestead and the community flourish.

Spend your days exploring, collecting resources and taking on new projects at your own pace. Most of the time life is peaceful, but the occasional bandit or dangerous creature might need dealing with. Combat is there when it needs to be, but Moonsteader is all about building, creating and helping the frontier become something special.
