About the Game

You wake up in a low place. You don't have time to know where you are or why you came here. In order to survive, quickly explore the surroundings and utilize resources to establish a safe base. This is not a place where you are alone.

There are various resources around you. You can refine minerals to produce iron and copper, and process them to configure various production materials and manufacturing facilities.

Build a [Research Center] quickly. Some elements have technologies that can only be acquired through the [Research Center]. We recommend that you focus on researching technologies at all times.

Power can be obtained from wind, thermal, and solar power. Production speed decreases when power is low, so you should not neglect power management.

Once you acquire the technology, you can also drill for [crude oil]. Drilled [crude oil] is used as a resource for advanced materials through a refining process, or as a material for producing resources for [spaceships].

On the other hand, focus on attacking monsters. You can defend with [turrets], but it is not enough to block everything. Smelt stones to build [Defense Walls].

You need to repair damaged turrets quickly and protect yourself from the continuous attacks of monsters. The monsters are getting stronger even now.

The [Blueprint] button located next to the [Quick Slot] provides basic blueprints. We hope it will help you establish a base.

The blueprint stores the blueprints of the buildings to be built, and you can [Add|Delete|Modify] them. Having various blueprints makes construction easier. This is possible with the support of drones, allowing simultaneous construction in multiple locations.

Finally, build a [Spaceship Launcher], load the necessary parts for the spaceship, and fill it with fuel.

It is your choice whether to stay here or leave.

We respect your choice.

3, 2, 1.

We will remember your [play].
