Playtest build
Earth is gone. You are SPROUT, the Surface Pioneer Robot for Outpost Utility and Terraforming. Drop to the surface of Veyra, mine what the planet gives you, and build the colony the colonists are waiting for.
Laser the ore, carry it home, refine Colony alloy and Advanced alloy, and upgrade Sprout at the Upgrade station.
Walls, floors, roofs, stairs, lifts and Octo habs that snap together. Place everything from Sprout's view, with a free placement camera for the tricky spots.
Build a Bot Bay, fabricate workers and assign each one a resource. They mine, haul to storage, and dock to recharge.
Red lightning leaves Magmacite behind. Meteor showers hammer your base. Plasma turrets and an orbital defense keep it standing.
Hydroponic domes, hopper pens, water systems and refrigerated stores. Stock the colony, call the ship and land the colonists.
Research the Entertainment pack and play Sprout Invaders and Super Sprout Bot on cabinets in your own habitat.
Pick your platform. It is a playtest build, so expect rough edges, and please tell me what you find.
The build is private while it's in testing. Enter the code I sent you to unlock the downloads.
Finish colonist missions and contracts to earn technology points. Spend them at the command station, wait for the colony ship to transmit the plans, then unlock upgrades, base pieces and buildings. Five branches, and the late upgrades are worth working for.
Five branches: Extraction, Mobility, Life support, Colony and Defense. Numbers inside are technology point costs, and the tree may shift during playtesting.
Everything can be played on a controller alone, with PS5 button labels as the reference. Keyboard and mouse works too.

You are playing an early build. The most useful thing you can do is play it the way you want to, and tell me where it got confusing, slow or broken.
Saves live on your computer, in the app's own data folder or in your browser. Back them up before updating.
No. This is a playtest build, so things will change, break and get rebalanced.
I try to keep saves compatible, but export a backup before every update to be safe.
The desktop app does. The browser version needs to load once first.
Yes. Every function is designed to work on a controller alone, with PS5 button labels as the reference.
Please keep this build within the playtest group for now. Screenshots and clips are welcome.
