01 / The game

Life on the surface.
Adventure below it.

Start with the ground beneath your feet. Build a home, learn the seasons, and see where your next expedition takes you.

  • Make a place your own

    Mine for materials, craft better tools, and build everything from your first shelter to a base worth coming back to. Choose Survival or build freely in Creative.

  • Live through the seasons

    Grow crops, forage, and watch familiar landscapes change with the calendar. Weather, wildlife, and the day and night cycle give Earth a rhythm of its own.

  • Keep a record of your travels

    Set waypoints on the planetary map. In Survival, the Explorer’s Codex records the environments and wildlife you discover along the way.

  • Bring a friend

    Explore and build together in multiplayer. Add friends, send messages, and join each other through Orbitale’s Friends system.

Where will you land?

Three destinations are playable today. In Survival, build a rocket and equip a spacesuit before heading off Earth.

Your starting world

Earth

Start among forests, hills, and coastlines. Put down roots, stock up for winter, and turn a patch of ground into a home.

  • Changing seasons
  • Plants & wildlife
