Join our community: Discord (HIRING: Developers, Modelers, Builders!)
In a post-apocalyptic world of decayed mining towns, survivors scavenge ruins, fortify colonies, and battle block-breaking zombies. Every noise risks a horde—mining deeper means greater rewards but deadlier threats.
- Genre: Survival / Colony Builder
- Platform: Hytale (Modpack + Dedicated Server)
- Status: Pre-Launch (Tied to Hytale Early Access, Jan 13, 2026)
- Note: Features depend on Hytale's modding APIs. Active development—join to help!
- 🧭 Scavenging: Risky multi-level structures with noise attraction (mining alerts zombies). Loot tiers from rusty tools to rare tech.
- 🏘️ Colony Building: Manage towns with NPCs, taxes, roles, and betrayals. Defend against sieges using upgradeable barricades (Wood → Steel).
- 🦠 Survival Mechanics: Thirst, hunger, temperature, infection (bite → fever → amputation). Day/night cycles and weather amplify danger.
- 👾 Zombies: Varieties like Walkers (slow breakers), Runners (fast climbers), Bloated (explosive), Armored (tanks), and massive Herds (300+ scaled by zones).
- 🚗 Vehicles: Progress from Bicycle to Helicopter.
- Other: Trader caravans, bandit raids, reputation system, and mining integrations (tunnel collapses).

- Week 1-4: Towny, vehicles, infection.
- Beta: Herds, factions, POI zones.
- 1.0: Mining dangers, full herds.

No firm ETAs—depends on APIs and team.
