Procedural planets
The world consists of up to 16 procedurally generated planets which you can colonize. A planets type affects things like the appearance, the farm productivity and the kind of resources you can find on it. Every player starts the game with a spaceship and enough materials to colonize their first planet. Uncolonized planets can be claimed by building a spaceport on it. Once you claimed a planet, you can integrate it into your economy!
Build your civilization
To advance your faction and unlock new buildings you need to attract residents and provide them the goods they require. By gaining more and more residents, you will unlock new production chains which will increase in complexity. At some point, your first planet won't be able to supply you with the resources you need, so you need to expand to other planets.
Choose your path
While you start your population with workers, you need to make a decision when you advance to the second tier. You can upgrade your residents to the science or military civilization type. You can adjust the direction in an adjacent city center. Your decision will determine your path for the game and set a focus on either a more peacefully or a violent way of playing and winning the game. It may be rational to carefully consider your decision and adapt to the situation you are in.Residents of a civilization type generate either science or military research points, which you can invest into research. The two research trees unlock bonuses and unique buildings for the corresponding civilization type. Through that, the game experience will rely heavily on the path you select.
Multiplayer
You can play alone or with up to three friends. You can either practice diplomacy and negotiate agreements, or act militarily against each other. Coupled with the fact that each player can build his civilization differently, every game remains exciting.
🕹️ Partial Controller Support
🎮 Full Controller Support
Hey everyone!\n\nWe thought we should end this year on a high note with another big patch! This update brings three major features so lets take a look:\n\n
8 Player Matches
Planet S now supports matches with up to 8 players up from the previous limit of 4 players. This hold true for both single and multiplayer matches meaning you can play with 8 human or bot players or anything in between.

On top of that we will also expand the available pool of player / faction colors and this update also brings a reworked diplomacy menu (the overview page) to accommodate more players.

New World Type
This update also adds a new world type called \"Extended\". Compared to the \"Ordered\" world type this one can have up to 24 planets instead of 16 which makes it a perfect for 6-8 players (or if you just want to go crazy on your own). World types with this many planets were previously only possible with mods but we thought this would be a good time to bring them into the base game with additional optimizations and larger lobbies.

Christmas Decoration
Right in time for Christmas we are also adding a small builtin Christmas Theme Pack. You can toggle it on or off in the mods menu and it will work in both existing and new games as well as multiplayer matches without other having to enable it as well.
[carousel autoadvance=\"true\"][img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/42536346/21fabe45804d5648794e0fde8dbda8b740275f5a.jpg\"][/img][img src=\"https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/42536346/a076c231db45a452efd3cddc5c06ce1782426490.png\"][/img][/carousel]Some of you might remember that we had a Christmas asset pack before and this contains most of that but with updated models and a couple of new once. It\'s also no longer necessary to edit any game files to enable it.
Modding
Mod authors can now mark their mods as being cosmetic only by adding \"[c]cosmeticOnly = true\"[/c] to the [c]registerMod[/c] table. Cosmetic mods don\'t need to be installed by others in a multiplayer lobby and they can be enabled for exsting savegames.
Balancing
We made some adjustments to the mission \"Exo Research - Defense\" to make it a bit easier to complete based on feedback.
Bug fixes
* Fixed various UI scaling issues\n* Fixed a potential desync related to spaceship position & rotation (Spaceship death & Colony takeover desyncs)\n* Fixed a potential desync related to transport drones (Upgrade, Build & Money desyncs)\n
Winter Sale
The Steam Winter Sale also starts today and Planet S - A New Horizon will be 40% off! Check it out if you haven\'t already!
