Before you play

Things to consider

  • The game has been offline since March 2018 and can no longer be played through official servers.
  • Early Access purchasers of the base Colonist package had their progress wiped when the game left Early Access, which drew criticism at the time.
  • By the developer's own admission, activity had dropped off significantly well before the shutdown.
