Steam survival crafting game with 96% user score dates 1.0 launch

Terraforming, crafting, and open-world game The Planet Crafter is finally launching into 1.0 in April after two years of Steam Early Access. With an incredibly positive Steam reception and plenty of big updates over the years, new and returning players will find new biomes, new alien animals, and most importantly, eight-player co-op.

If you’re unfamiliar with the first-person, crafting open-world game, then it’s easiest to describe The Planet Crafter as something akin to Subnautica meets Astroneer. Your goal is to terraform a hostile planet to make it habitable for humans by producing oxygen, generating heating, collecting resources, and of course, building a base.

The upcoming 1.0 launch in April will bring several new biomes, a variety of animal species, and even a new multiplayer mode for up to eight players to the game. With over 96% of the game’s 25,000 Steam reviews being positive, it’s safe to say that the almost two years of early access has done The Planet Crafter loads of favors, so to mark the impending 1.0 launch, we asked developer Miju Games some questions.
