About
When civilization is decimated by rampant plague, a lucky few emerge from the ashes. Help them settle in a dangerous wilderness reclaimed by nature. Build them a home, shape their lives, and defend them from bandits and beasts in a lawless, realistic post-calamity world. The Dark Age is yours to rebuild.


From three lost travellers to a thriving walled city, build greatness from desolation. Use 3D terrain tools to create the perfect stronghold, from sprawling multi-storey forts to winding underground caverns. Construct, furnish and decorate your chambers, workshops, chapels, libraries and more, using stone, clay, and other gathered materials.

Each settler is a unique character. Consider Grimbold, for example. As a Swineherd, his Animal Handling is second to none. But his personality is Savage, so he’d make a strong Brawler. He likes nice clothes, his religion is dear to him — and he’s hungry. Satisfy Grimbold’s needs, use his talents, and he’ll be a happy settler — key to a happy settlement.

Build impenetrable defenses and set traps against unrelenting waves of raiders. Research and craft medieval tech, arm your settlers and command them in battle. Tailor your strategy to your villager’s skills, and upgrade them through hunting and combat.

Explore your randomly-generated multi-level map and manipulate it to your will. Terraform the earth and water for construction, design, or military strategy. Build up or dig down, go humble or baronial, and use the modding tools to unearth a whole new level of creative freedom.

I really want to love this game. I stopped playing a while ago and picked it back up a few weeks ago. I got really far with my settlement but not I have a very high chance of not being able to load my settlement saves. I get stuck on "loading complete". The Devs just blame mods. A discussion with another player/mod informed me that this issues happens with and without mods. Steer clear unless you like all of your hours put into a settlement to be worth nothing after a few in gam years.
Хорошая игра, офигенно придумали. в неё бы побольше моментов для декора, и фантазии не было бы предела! Успехов вам и побольше обновлений и возможностей
É legal e [b]bastante parecido com Rimworld[/b], mas sofre de um problema que Rimworld também tem, ficar bastante tempo esperando desbloquear coisas novas e bastante tempo esperando eventos ocorrerem. As invasões gradualmente ficam mais difíceis mas o ritmo que seu vilarejo cresce simplesmente não acompanha o aumento da dificuldade, acredito que precisam melhorar esse aspecto. Outra reclamação é que [b]o jogo já saiu do Acesso Antecipado, mas ainda é inacabado em alguns lugares[/b], faltando mecânicas que seriam fundamentais (como restrições de alimento para animais e zonas de acesso permitido) e tendo alguns bugs incômodos como aldeões recusando a seguir ordens manuais sem motivo aparente. Espero que os desenvolvedores não decidam começar a lançar expansões pagas em vez de adicionar gratuitamente o que já falta no jogo base.
不能生孩子吗?人口全靠移民和奴隶?移民大概每年才一个

One of the best colony sims out there. Still seeinng regular updates.
内容其实偏少,而且敌人AI太傻了,导致只需要一个很简单的城防就赢了。 本质上只能说是个简陋的建筑模拟器。
Pop control is terrible, doing everything but what you need them to do. And more automation would be welcome, i'm tired of telling people which wood they can cut or not, which berries they can harvest... its boring.
9/10 for me much better than rimworld. masterpiece Even more content would be nice. Expand to other maps with my people, for example. Thx awesome game so far.
I love this game. With 1000+ Hours it is just the right game to spent some time in building a fortress for your villagers. Over and over again. You just have to love it. Try it.
