How co-op works
Online groups share one planet-wide terraforming project, surviving, gathering resources, building bases, and installing machines that raise heat, oxygen, and atmospheric pressure. Every construction advances the same biosphere, so exploration, production, and expansion contribute to one visible planetary transformation.
About this game
The Planet Crafter drops you onto a barren, inhospitable planet with one goal: make it habitable. This is a true co-op survival and terraforming game where up to 10 players work together to alter an entire ecosystem, generating oxygen, heat, and atmospheric pressure to slowly transform the landscape into a new biosphere.

You'll scavenge resources, craft equipment, and construct sprawling bases while managing survival needs. The terraforming systems drive the core loop, rewarding coordination as your team balances resource chains, expands infrastructure, and watches the planet evolve from lifeless rock to thriving world. Collaboration turns ambitious projects into shared victories.
Online co-op supports sessions with friends across Windows. The scale and complexity of planetary transformation make this a fantastic fit for groups who enjoy long-term goals, strategic planning, and the satisfaction of building something monumental together.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many players can terraform together in co-op?
The Planet Crafter supports 1 to 10 players in online co-op. You can work together with friends to transform the planet, whether as a small team or a larger group coordinating complex terraforming projects.
Is this game more about survival or base building?
It's both. You'll manage survival needs like oxygen and warmth while gathering resources and building bases, but the core focus is on large-scale terraforming-gradually transforming the entire planet's atmosphere and ecosystem through coordinated infrastructure and resource chains.
How important is communication and teamwork?
Very important. Terraforming an entire planet requires balancing complex resource chains, expanding infrastructure, and coordinating long-term projects. The game rewards strategic planning and collaboration, making it ideal for groups who enjoy working toward ambitious shared goals.
