About the game
You begin with little shelter or equipment in the Exiled Lands. Gather stone and wood, hunt for food and make tools before travelling into harsher regions. Your home can grow from a small shelter into a settlement with workshops, furniture and defences. Ruins and dungeons give you reasons to leave it behind, find supplies and improve your weapons.
Friends can settle the same world, share construction work and tackle enemies together. Choose a PvE server for cooperation against the environment. A private dedicated server lets your group set its own rules. Gathering and building leave time to talk, while expeditions need more attention. Enhanced is the updated Steam PC edition, with a free engine upgrade for owners of the original game.
