Full Release Date — Current Situation
No exact 1.0 release date has been announced. The official Steam Early Access FAQ says:
- Duration: “We plan to remain in Early Access for a year, but that could change depending on how the design develops with player feedback.” This points to roughly mid/late 2027, but it is an estimate, not a commitment.
- What 1.0 adds: More buildings, resources, production chains, quests, biomes, and technologies; more granular procedural generation; and additional content influenced by community feedback.
- Current state: The Early Access version is fully playable with all content and features described on the store page.
For the wiki, the honest answer is: EA launched Aug 13, 2026; 1.0 is expected around a year later based on developer plans, with no fixed date.
Demo
- A free demo is available on Steam as a separate app ID: 3490390 — use the “Download PC Demo” button on the store page.
- The third-party trainer ecosystem does not support the demo (see Cheats).
