Thanks everyone for all of your support throughout 2023! The 0.5 update is progressing nicely, and over these past couple of weeks Ive made a lot of progress on multiplayer and AI tribes. But with the update just about to enter the first testing phase, its still going to be another few weeks before its ready. So while youre waiting, and with over 70 mods available, now is a great time to try out a few! If you havent installed any mods before, Sir Lichs new Christmas 2023 mod is a great place to start, to add a purely visual festive vibe. Vanilla Tweaks makes it easy to configure a wide range of new options to change the gameplay and interface, and set things up just the way you like. Chop and Replant is a handy mod by Witchy that adds a new button to the radial menu, allowing you to automatically replant trees that have been chopped down. Some role assignment automation is coming to the vanilla game in 0.5, but AutomatedRoles (also made by Witchy) gives you the ability to automatically mange your tribes roles already, with a bunch of control too. Bone Crafting adds a bunch of bone related content, with furniture, bone broth, a giant axe and even wind chimes And Time Control Plus adds some handy information to the clock. Some of these mods require Hammerstone, which is a base mod youll need to install first. If you need any help installing mods, there is a great tutorial on the Sapiens wiki. And if youre interested in making your own Sapiens mods, this community created mod development wiki is a fantastic place to start, and the discord linked there is great if you want to get more involved or have questions too. I hope you have a great holiday season, and well see you again in the new year! -Dave

In Sapiens you create your own prehistoric civilization. Lead your tribe from the ground, immersed in the world while you shape it. Build towns and industry with complete freedom and control, from placing the tiniest pebble to constructing monumental structures. Start with nothing and advance through thousands of years of technological breakthroughs in this intimate yet expansive colony sim.
Choose Your Home
Pick from thousands of procedurally generated lands across a map larger than Earth itself. Choose wisely, as each area has different climates, resources, and challenges. Finding the right place to begin your home is key to growing your civilisation.
Lead Your People
Walk the paths beside your people as you lead them through this uncharted world. Instruct individual sapiens to focus on specific tasks, such as planting crops, gathering materials, building, hunting, cooking, and more. Watch as they learn new skills, making them more valuable to your tribe. Manage their moods, health, and support their growing families.
Find Resources
Find new resources and send your sapiens to investigate, leading to new breakthroughs which unlock new things to build and craft. Start with primitive materials and work your way up to using more advanced tools and techniques.
Build A Civilization
Build shelters, both to keep your sapiens happy and to preserve food and resources. Every wall, roof, seat or fireplace can be placed individually. Each tree, log, plank or rock can be removed or situated, and the terrain can be dug, mined or filled to shape the world the way you want.
Expand Your Reach
Send sapiens over long distances and establish camps to gather far away resources. Create transportation networks to bring those resources back to your base for processing or storage. Send a group to explore over great distances, or conduct a hunting mission. Take down a mammoth to feed and clothe your tribe for months, but know that you may lose some sapiens trying.
Sapiens features extensive mod support through Steam Workshop.
