Far from Earth, on a derelict colony clinging to an abandoned mining moon, there's work to be done. Play as a crew of autonomous robots: haul chaotic cargo, drive powerful vehicles, and build ambitious projects across a frontier the rest of the galaxy forgot. Meet these challenges solo, or dive into co-op chaos with up to 3 friends.
Scattered across the moon are dozens of resources, each one behaving in its own unique way. Learn how they handle, and how to get them where they need to go before the weather turns.
That's where your vehicles come in. Every one is fully physically simulated, so hauling is never a series of menus; it's a real, physical challenge. Cargo shifts, terrain fights back, and a tricky delivery becomes a test of driving skill, planning, and nerves. And with friends along for the ride, it's pure chaos.
Scavenge whatever you can from the frontier, take on ever-bigger projects, and discover what this forgotten colony is hiding.
No conveyor belts. No automation. Just manual logistics.
KEY FEATURES
True physics-driven hauling — Every vehicle and every load is fully physics-simulated. Moving cargo across broken terrain is a real test of skill and a recipe for chaos with a crew.
No inventories — Nothing is tucked away in a menu. Every resource, tool, and load exists physically in the world, so what you see is exactly what you have to move, manage, and master.
Wrangle resources with personality — Every resource has its own quirks and characteristics. Half the challenge is learning how each one moves and behaves, then figuring out how to get it where it needs to go.
Co-op chaos — Play solo or team up with friends. Divide the work, get in each other’s way, and pull off the kind of disasters and triumphs only a crew can manage.
Build bigger and better vehicles — Uncover new resources as you explore, and use them to build and upgrade ever-more-capable vehicles.
Explore a hostile frontier — Discover unique biomes and contend with dynamic weather and a full day/night cycle that complicate every plan.
