Crashpad: Cozy Idle Outpost

Your ship came down hard. It won't fly again. But two little robots made it — and this crash pad is home now.

Now you're stranded on a little floating rock at the edge of nowhere. Start from the wreck, build a cozy outpost one building at a time, and send your ships out into the fog to see what's out there.

Build a cozy outpost

• Raise Dew Collectors, Foundries, Fuel Condensers and Garden Domes to keep Water, Alloy, Fuel and Food flowing.
• Build several of each production building, and upgrade your buildings — including the cargo pods that store everything.
• Little helper bots bustle around the base while windows glow, fans spin and chimneys puff.
• Your outpost keeps working while the game is closed, until its storage fills up. Come back and collect.

Collect a fleet

• Send the quick Courier, the roomy Hauler and the curious Surveyor out on runs, then watch them lift off and land back at the dock.
• Every ship gets its own little tab along the bottom of the screen — see who's ready, who's out and who's on the way home at a glance.
• Each ship has a job — cargo, express or survey — and a look all its own.
• Bring home blueprint fragments and build new ships from them.
• Fill in your Codex one ship at a time.

Chart the fog

• Send ships across a hex map of tiny asteroid outposts and watch the clouds part over places like Scrap Shallows, Fizz Canyon and Chime Ridge.
• Chart new regions to raise your Survey Rank and make room for more buildings.
• Now and then, a friendly space whale drifts by.

A tiny base on your desktop

• Switch to widget mode and your outpost becomes a small floating island in the corner of your screen — borderless, always on top, with a transparent background.
• Choose whether the widget shows your base or the map, and resize it to fit.
• Ships come and go while you work. When crates arrive, click them to collect and send the ship straight back out.
• The widget remembers where you left it.

There are no loot boxes.
