Change a planet you can see
15 terraforming stages driven by temperature, pressure, oxygen and biomass.
Wake up a lifeless planet
TerraLife is a first-person game about waking up a lifeless planet. You collect ore and ice, craft your way from ingots to microchips, build a pressurised base and keep it powered. Your terraforming machines warm the air, raise the pressure, fill it with oxygen and grow biomass.
The planet changes as you work. Across 15 stages the sky turns, clouds gather, rain falls and lakes fill. Moss creeps over the stone, followed by grass, flowers and forests. Build habitats for bees, dragonflies, ants and fish, and near the end of the terraformation the animals you discovered appear across the planet on their own.
A living planet is only the beginning. Free updates during Early Access turn your base into a network: first drones, then logistics with roads, rails, vehicles and trains that carry goods between your sites. After that come colonies, with people who live, work and travel on the world you made, farm animals to research and production chains to keep them supplied.
