How co-op works
Online co-op survival where players gather resources, mine underground, craft tools, and build shared workshops. Teams coordinate task specialization and resource pooling to unlock crafting tiers and expand their settlement together.
About this game
Aground is a 2D mining and crafting RPG that begins with a handful of survivors stranded on an uninhabited island after a catastrophic crash. Players start with basic gathering and cooking, then dig deeper into the earth to extract ores, construct workshops, and piece together what ended civilization. The game blends persistent progression with narrative discovery as new recipes, structures, and story fragments emerge.

Gameplay revolves around chopping trees, mining underground tunnels, building stations, and crafting increasingly complex equipment. Players can divide responsibilities or combine efforts to tackle large construction projects, clear hostile creatures, tend farms, and explore uncharted zones. Coordinated resource management and communication drive efficiency as the settlement grows.
Progression unlocks new crafting tiers and story layers that explain the apocalypse. Cross-platform online and LAN support enable flexible session lengths, from quick resource runs to extended building marathons. The game suits groups who enjoy long-term settlement projects and steady, communication-heavy survival systems rather than fast-paced action.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does co-op work in Aground?
Aground supports online co-op and LAN play with cross-platform multiplayer, so you can team up with friends on different operating systems. You'll share the same island settlement, meaning you can divide tasks-one player mining underground while another builds structures or farms above ground-or combine efforts on large projects and exploration.
Can players share resources and crafting stations?
Yes, the settlement is shared between all players. Resources you gather, crafting stations you build, and structures you place are accessible to everyone in the session. This makes coordinated resource management important, especially as you unlock more complex recipes and construction projects.
Is communication important for co-op in Aground?
Definitely. Aground rewards communication-heavy teamwork, especially when coordinating who's gathering which resources, planning base expansions, or deciding which crafting tiers to unlock next. Talking through your strategy makes runs much more efficient than working in parallel without a plan.
How long are typical co-op sessions?
Session length is flexible. You can jump in for quick resource runs or commit to extended building marathons. Progress is persistent, so you can pick up where you left off. The game suits groups who enjoy long-term settlement projects that unfold over multiple sessions.
Does Aground have PvP or competitive modes?
No, Aground is purely cooperative. There's no PvP or competitive gameplay-everyone works together to survive, expand the settlement, and uncover the story behind the apocalypse.
