Build & Survive

Build & Survive is a sandbox survival game set in an uncharted, procedurally generated world. You start with nothing and gather resources, craft tools, build a base and defend it against enemies. Your actions change the environment: cutting trees thins forests and opens paths, while the world reacts to your choices.

Gather and craft

You begin by chopping wood with primitive tools, then collect stone, fiber and other raw materials to make gear and build. The crafting system offers dozens of custom recipes and combinations, from crude axes to reinforced walls. Campfires provide warmth, storage boxes hold supplies, and workbenches unlock advanced blueprints. Technology trees let you develop automated systems, defensive traps and tools for harsher conditions.

Defend your base

At night, increasingly aggressive waves of enemies emerge. Some attack quickly and disappear, while others swarm; they damage your constructions and test your defenses. Each wave is procedurally generated and adapts to your tactics and base layout, so you must keep preparing and reinforcing your camp.

You can expand and shape your base with walls, gates, towers and automated turrets. Claim land, redirect rivers, flatten mountains and build structures such as underground bunkers, cliffside shelters or open-field strongholds. The results of your construction are permanent.

Explore and sustain yourself

The world contains biomes, secrets and dangers, including desert ruins, snowy peaks, dark caves and ancient structures. Each environment offers its own resources and challenges. You can also fish in rivers, lakes and coastal waters for food, health regeneration and rare items. Build fishing huts, smoke your catch for long-term storage and find distinctive fish species across different biomes.

Shape your playstyle

Dynamic progression systems support different approaches, including using traps and long-range weapons, or focusing on crafting, trading and farming.

Multiplayer

Co-op play is being prepared, with plans for players to survive together, divide responsibilities and defend a camp. Shared bases, trading mechanics, PvP elements and community events are also described as future additions.
