Planet Nomads

Planet Nomads is a single-player sci-fi survival sandbox built around block-based construction. You play as a lone astronaut scientist who crash-lands on an alien planet. You must secure food, water and building materials, then work out how to escape.

Build to survive

Construction determines your chances of survival and lets you travel farther and uncover advanced materials. Nearly 100 blocks are available for building. The voxel terrain is fully mineable, and block-based construction follows physics. You can also build vehicles, rails, traps and gadgets using actual wheel physics; vehicles can use three types of wheels or hover physics.

Explore the planet

The planet has multiple biomes shaped by temperature and humidity, with the landscape changing between regions. Climate also affects which creatures appear. As you explore, you encounter poisonous plants and beasts that can attack you, while the animal AI can catch you off guard.

Manage your survival

Food, water and building materials are basic needs you must secure. You can grow food in greenhouses, gather resources from mining sites and use automated mining machines and production blocks. Survival mechanics are built into the game's core design.

Build a mobile base

You can construct mobile bases to carry your equipment and support your travels beyond the immediate area. The crash-landed astronaut's account describes building a rover, then planning a larger vehicle with a generator, 3D printer and stasis chamber to meet their needs while searching for a way off the planet and possibly other survivors. When armored creatures attack the base, the astronaut escapes in the powered-up mobile base.
