About One Lonely Outpost

One Lonely Outpost

You're the first pioneer to hit the surface of a barren, alien world - a desolate expanse as far as the eye can see. Your job is simple: Take your Space-RV, power up your multipurpose tech gauntlet, and use whatever seeds found in the cargo to start a new life on this world. Over time, you'll make the planet life-sustaining for yourself and dozens of future colonists. But until then, it's going to be one lonely outpost...

One Lonely Outpost

  • Plan your colonist’s farming adventures. Will you explore? Plant? Craft? FIsh? Build a close-knit community? Or all of them at once?

  • Fill out the Omninac by experiencing life on the new planet. Categorize crops, minerals, seasons, animals, and more!

  • Terraform the desert with a trusty robotic pet. Fertilize the ground, secure water sources, and make the air breathable.

  • Harness sustainable energy to power your colony, using a variety of sources like solar and wind power to fuel your farm.  

  • Experiment with gene-splicing to create new and unique crops

  • Farm, mine, explore, and carve out a habitat for humanity.

One Lonely Outpost

  • Build your colony from the ground up. Your loneliness will be over once you can attract some colonists - but that is just the beginning!

  • Discover a robust menu of meals to cook - you can't explore a new world on an empty stomach!

  • Use your drones to catch a plethora of fish and bugs that inhabit the planet—uncover them to fill out your collection!

  • Raise livestock, whether traditional or robotic, and adopt wildlife creatures as pets.

One Lonely Outpost

  • Usher in a new dawn for humanity, building a genuine off-world utopia for your colonists.

  • Connect with your newfound community, cultivate relationships, and who knows, maybe even find love among the pioneers?

  • And just as important as the future, delve into the past of the old world. Just what lies hidden beneath this ancient planet's surface...?

Story

Show

A barren, alien world needs YOU to bring it to life! Start out with just an ancient space-RV, your handy tech gauntlet, a handful of potato seeds, and work to build up your colony. By growing enough crops to attract colonists, build up a town and an economy, you’ll be able to achieve independence and establish your colony as a prime destination! Whether you opt for an all-natural farm or a more high-tech one, you'll need to balance producing food with other activities on your planet. Explore alien ruins to learn more about this strange world, grow your relationships with the many different characters that will join your colony, and have a blast playing various mini-game activities along the way. It's One Lonely Outpost … but not for long!
