Custom Games

The New Game screen offers several default worlds for both creative and survival mode. When started in survival mode, the player will always be equipped with basic hand tools: drill, welder and grinder. These worlds have no predefined goals, and allow players to play the game however they wish. You can customise them by changing their settings, adding mods, adding planets, and so on.
