FAQ Alpha-Demo Feb22
How long will the Alpha-Demo be open?
The alpha demo is playable until the end of February. There will certainly be at least one more alpha until Early Access.


How far does the demo reach and what is planned?
The Alpha Demo offers an insight into the gameplay up to the point where a community centre can be constructed - about two hours playtime. There is still much planned to be implemented until Early Access starts!
For example:
  • More maps with different biomes and climates
  • More animals, animations, buildings, decorations, and production chains
  • Improved AI: Advanced needs and memory for the animals and humans
  • Reworked UI, improved tutorial and introduction
  • Extended trading system between settlements and other fractions
  • Diplomacy system and small story
  • Better mod support
  • Improved map editor
  • ... and much more!

How stable is the alpha demo?
Stable software can be expected. While there have been several extensive playtests (see #collected-feedback on discord), however, hundreds of people are certainly discovering more than we are. On Linux Ubuntu, there rarely seems to be a problem, with the game crashing shortly after loading a scenario.


I have feedback to the game / I found a bug
Wonderful! Constructive feedback is very welcome! Please let us know on Discord [discord.com] in the Alpha-Demo #feedback channel. Please try to be specific about what you liked, disliked, or what problems you had. We will have a look add the items to the feedback list. :)


The Game crashed. What should I do?
Oh no! Let's work on that! Best is to let us know on Discord [discord.com] & share the following with us:
  • Your operating system (especially if you are playing on Linux)
  • The "FatalError.txt" (you find it at the executables: Right click in the steam library on the game: Manage: Browse local files)
  • If there is somehow no "FatalError.txt", please copy the last few entries from the "log.txt"
  • If you remember doing something specific, please let me know :)
I do not like automatic data collection and I like transparency. You can inspect the files yourself to see what they contain.

Hi Pkmis! The release was planned for today. You should now find a "Download PC Demo" button on the right side on the store page :)

nothing better than a good ol' free demo

will You incorporate a CHAIR in Those little houses (?)

just so we can sit on them, reminds Me of the game "TERRARIA", except without all of the MOD nonsense, good luck on your adventure, wishing You The Best

(EDIT):, those are stylish berry bushes, You could be a top level designer, The Beginning of something New, in The Fresh World

also will there be attackers and defenders?

Hehe, I hope you had fun playing the alpha :)

Integrating specific animations will surely be investigated. May be in the next alpha the humans can sit down at the fireplace or actually chop the trees. Most buildings are closed but it would be cool if you could see more what they are doing.

Thanks! I got better over the years :D

There is not direct war mechanisms planned at the moment. But I'm thinking about indirect scenarios where e.g. the territorial lord is in a conflict and requests weapons, food, cloths and medical supplies. Or where troops would walk through your land and request a place to sleep and provisions. But those are just rough ideas and surely will change.

What to do with butchered/dead animals, how can their meat and stuff be gathered?

Hi! For wild animals, a hunter will collect the meat, leather, and other things from animals (make sure to set the correct species in the activity list). In a barn, the worker will collect the goods :)
