About
You have been sent alone to the dwarf planet Ceres. You must endure the harsh environment while you gather, craft, and build the basics required to stay alive. Build machines, facilities, and farms as you establish a foothold in this icy world.
No tedious gathering of the same materials over and over. Once you acquire a material and locate deep deposits, you can build and use drills to automate collection.
The modular base building makes building easy for players who are not creative, while place-able objects, decorations, and glass variations allow more creative players to go wild.
Export rare materials and manufactured goods back to Earth to earn funding. This funding is used to research new technologies and upgrades. You can also import supplies from Earth to supplement your needs.
Once you have established a viable base, including some colonist-specific modules such as the barracks, mess hall, and rec room, you can call in passenger ships with people to join your colony. Then, put your colonists to work on advanced facilities used to create complex goods, defend against hostile aliens, and perform other advanced functions such as terraforming and power generation.
Once you begin terraforming the planet, ice melts, giving you access to new areas. Here, you will find more advanced materials used to advance the terraforming process.
As terraforming advances, you will need to defend yourself against attacks from hostile alien creatures on the ground and in the air. Eventually, you will take the fight to them by destroying alien nests and going on expeditions to eliminate all hostile life forms to make Ceres safe for humanity.
The higher the difficulty settings combined with how quickly you complete milestones or the terraforming of Ceres will determine how well you score on the leaderboards. Can you be efficient and reach the top spot?
So what are you waiting for? Get in there and start terraforming the dwarf planet Ceres into a viable human colony today.

Also ich kann zu diesem Spiel nur sagen das ich es für einige Stunden unterhaltsam fand. Es reist mich vielleicht nicht vom Stuhl , aber für den kleinen Preis ist es OK. Es müßte noch etwas an der Feinheit poliert werden , aber ist nicht zwingend notwendig. Ich würde es als eine 6/10 bewerten und man kann es kaufen.
[i]Human lands on our planet. Reverse-Terraforms it. Nukes our homes. Invades our nests. And WE are the bad guys?[/i] - Aliens Watch my take, here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11nYl74xaLU Enjoy yet another satisfying trip to some random corner of the Universe where, as the Good Guy, you expand Humanity's Reach and ruin the planet permanently for a multitude of Alien species, all while bringing colonists and feeding them ungoly amounts of Tomato and Melons until the job's done. Have your defences stand the ground as you perform Capitalism, exporting luxury goods to Earth as the locals sleep with the sounds of your drills ruining the surface of their previous hometown Avenge the previous brave Pilgrims by spamming turrets in your base approaches, finally reaching your Green World Goal by means of excessive violence. Surviving Ceres is a great and neat addition to the Survival / Colonization / Terraforming genre, even if rough around some edges - there is excessive amounts of handcrafting, and the lack of automation unnecessarily extends playtime and breaks the otherwise frantic (or cozy-progressive) flow of such games. Think Planet Crafter early versions, where everything was handmade and automation was barely attainable. The dev surprisingly seems to not be done with the game, and seems to have fixes, changes, and a potential large update with the addition of another planet if all goes well. While I would adjust expectations here to the reality of it being a solo-made game with smaller scope or range than other similar games, it's still worth a check. If, like me, you're averse to the lack of automation, breaking of flow, and excessive handcrafting, I'd wait until the next updates hits. I do have to point out the different amount of systems and the little amount of bugs and issues - issues I had are largely tied to more recent additions, like automated drones. Dev has the potential to make the next game be an even tighter take to a genre. Wishing him all the best!
You build things to make things that will let you build more things so you can make stuff to build things as you slowly terraform the planet and bugs try to destroy things you made. Watch as windmills are also watermills, behold rockets that you can stand under and take no damage from, get the ore! make things with the ore. Make a robot. Watch as people sit in midair, watch as people eat nothing! O_o; forget how to make the thing that you need to make for the thing!!! wish you had built the thing over there, fall as you remove the room! Game is still in the works, dev is very open to ideas/feedback and active :) game has a leader board for speed runners who care about that sort of thing.
la demo est en francais mais le jeu ne l'ai pas.
I played the game for a while in early access, and it really has room for improvement. The game looks better now than it did then, so I think I'll have to take another look.
ESSA É MINHA OPINIÃO DE JOGADOR. Joguei Surviving Ceres por 28 horas, explorando todas as mecânicas, e posso dizer: este jogo tem muito potencial! A base de sobrevivência e gestão de recursos é sólida e viciante, com um mundo cheio de descobertas. Ainda precisa de polimento, mas é empolgante ver o quanto pode crescer. Vale acompanhar de perto!. As mecânicas de sobrevivência e gestão de recursos estão bem implementadas e se interligam de forma natural, criando aquele ciclo viciante de “só mais um dia” que mantém o jogador preso por horas. ESSA É UMA OPINIÃO MAIS TÉCNICA. Ainda há espaço para melhorias — como refinamentos na interface e maior variedade em alguns eventos — mas o jogo já entrega uma base sólida e envolvente. É nítido que os desenvolvedores têm uma visão ambiciosa e, com atualizações e polimento, Surviving Ceres pode atingir um patamar muito alto. THIS IS MY OPINION AS A PLAYER. I played Surviving Ceres for 28 hours, exploring all the mechanics, and I can say: this game has a lot of potential! The survival and resource management base is solid and addictive, with a world full of discoveries. It still needs some polishing, but it's exciting to see how much it can grow. It's worth keeping a close eye on! The survival and resource management mechanics are well implemented and intertwine naturally, creating that addictive “just one more day” cycle that keeps the player hooked for hours. THIS IS A MORE TECHNICAL OPINION. There is still room for improvement—such as refinements to the interface and greater variety in some events—but the game already delivers a solid and engaging foundation. It's clear that the developers have an ambitious vision, and with updates and polish, Surviving Ceres can reach a very high level.translator
this is an excellent survival builder, i would have loved a multiplayer option to game with my friends on it, but the fact it doesnt have one makes it no less of a good game. i would have loved a way to fight back more directly though.
Walking simulator.
I am in love with this game. It has everything you need to terraform and build a base with a bit of fighting. I am looking forward to seeing what will be added as time goes on.
I thought this was a great very much enjoyed it up until the point the game crash lost all my progress the game said it auto saved guess what it didn't happen what a waste.........deleting until next maybe
