About the Game

Survive. Build. Automate.

After a catastrophic engine failure, your emergency pod has ejected you onto a tiny fragment of land floating in the endless void. Above you, a colossal and mysterious Cube Planet looms, dominating the horizon. With nothing but your worn-out family photo and a handful of survival tools, you must transform this desolate rock into a sprawling industrial empire.

SkyFab is a first-person voxel-based survival and automation game where engineering is your only way home.

KEY FEATURES

  • From Scratch to Industry: Start by sifting dirt and stones to find your first ores. Use a deep tech tree to advance from primitive tools to high-tech industrial machinery.

  • Total Automation: Don't just work hard—work smart. Design and build complex production lines with conveyors, pipes, and automated sorters. Let your machines do the heavy lifting while you focus on expansion.

  • Dynamic Power Management: Build power grids to fuel your factory. Balance your energy consumption using generators, solar arrays, and advanced battery systems to keep the gears turning 24/7.

  • Interactive Crafting & The Anvil: Feel every strike. Use the unique Anvil System to physically hammer ingots into plates, wires, and gears. High-tier technology requires precision and heavy industrial processing.

  • Voxel Sandbox Freedom: Expand your floating island in any direction. Build vertical factories, sky-bridges, and massive storage depots in a fully destructible and constructible voxel world.

  • Atmospheric Mystery: Why did your ship crash? What is the purpose of the Cube Planet? Explore the lore hidden within the void as you upgrade your gear to survive the harsh environment.

Gameplay Overview

SkyFab is a first-person, voxel-based automation and survival game where you transform a desolate floating island into a massive industrial empire.

  • Start Small: Begin on a tiny skyblock with a single tree. Manually harvest wood, sift dirt for basic minerals, and craft your first survival tools.

  • Expand & Construct: Place voxel blocks to expand your territory in any direction. Build multi-level platforms, sky-bridges, and dedicated factory zones.

  • Total Automation: Shift from manual labor to automated production. Design complex logistical networks using conveyor belts, item sorters, and fluid pipes to connect automated drills, crushers, and industrial smelteries.

  • Interactive Crafting: Utilize the dynamic Anvil System to physically hammer ingots into precision parts like wires, plates, and gears instead of just clicking through menus.

  • Power Management: Establish and balance a massive power grid. Construct generators, solar arrays, and batteries to ensure your automated assembly lines run continuously under the shadow of the mysterious Cube Planet.
