The combination of high technology and green nature

In Solarpunk, players are transported into a bright future world made up of floating islands suspended in the sky. Here, humans live in harmony with nature by harnessing clean energy sources. The game lets you play solo or in multiplayer mode with friends to build homes, grow crops, craft tools, and operate airships to explore distant islands.

Energy systems and process automation

A key feature that sets Solarpunk apart from other survival games is its energy system. Players must set up solar panels and wind turbines to generate electricity. Because weather conditions constantly change and directly affect production efficiency, you must carefully manage energy storage systems and wireless power transmission to keep your base running smoothly.

Once a stable energy supply is established, players can automate daily tasks. Using transport drones, natural resources are gathered automatically, allowing you to focus on building, designing, and exploring the sky world.

Free building, farming, and sustainable livestock systems

The game features a free building system with a wide variety of materials and decorations, allowing players to design bases and dream homes down to the smallest detail. In addition, farming and livestock systems are designed around an eco-friendly symbiosis model, with no extreme exploitation mechanics.

  • Farming: This is the main food source in the game. Players plant vegetable and fruit seeds, then harvest them when they ripen thanks to automated irrigation systems.
  • Livestock: Animals live peacefully alongside humans. When well cared for, they can help with various tasks, such as pigs helping to locate valuable truffles.

Exploring the world with your own airship

Every player in the world of Solarpunk can build a personal airship. This vehicle plays a key role in traveling between randomly generated floating islands, opening access to new resources and expanding exploration across the sky.
