How this affects gameplay

In the Colony

Narratively, we have set the play experience to start one day after arriving. You will have been given a challenge by the Colony Governor, Saraphina, to craft an item.

You will also start with a bunch of useful raw materials to craft items.

Crafting

First, you will tap the chat icon in the lower right. This is where you’ll talk to your agent.

The Colonist will provide examples of things they can make, but you should experiment and find something unique to make.

How Crafting Works

Directives and Stopping Activities

Your colonist operates in the way of goals (they decide on these themselves), and directives (commands you give them that they’ve decided to act on).

Eg. If you tell your colonist to craft something

Leveling Up

After completing each crafting or gathering session, tap on the colonist's portrait and press the level-up skills button.

This will increase the skills that you have been using, allowing you to craft more complex things.
