  • Survival Mode – Brings a more challenging endurance experience

• When you die in Survival Mode, you’ll now get to see “Death Quotes” (see below)

Death Quotes – Survival Mode

• Base Building
  • Create your own outpost by finding an uninhabited base to claim your home planet.
  • As for your shelter, you can construct your homestead using structures and decorations that were replicated from resources you gathered while exploring
  • You can recruit alien lifeforms to research new technology. Specialists for farming, engineer, science and weapons can be hired from the Space Station.
  • If you’re exploring the universe, or other planets, you can use the Terminus Teleporters found in Space Stations to teleport to and from your base anytime you want
  • You can expand your base by using storage containers to stockpile rare products and precious resources
  • If you find a more beautiful location and you want to establish your base in it, simply dismantle your previous base. All resources spent in your previous base will be refunded.

• Farming
