Cast Adrift

Your colony ship broke apart in orbit. You woke in a cryopod as the hull came down around you — minutes to loot the cargo bay, crate by crate, before the wreck bleeds out into the void. Then you eject, land hard, and the real work begins.

Cast Adrift is a cooperative online survival game on a single living world run by the server: your survivors keep breathing, mining, and building whether your phone is on or off. Come back to find the crops grown, the crusher fed — or a low-oxygen warning you’d better not ignore.

SURVIVE • Manage oxygen, water, and food in real time. Run dry and your survivor goes down — reach them in time and they can be rescued; leave them too long and the loss is permanent. • Power your suit, mount batteries, melt ice into water, cook what you grow.

BUILD A REAL SETTLEMENT • Raise a Commons and walk its rooms: storage, workshop, lab, kitchen, grow rooms, crushers, refineries, a battery room wired to the base grid. • Mine iron and copper, crush rubble into concentrate, smelt ingots, and craft the drills, filters, and machines that dig deeper. • Deploy Boris the Auto-Miner on a deposit and let him chew rubble all day. • Research new technology to unlock the next rung of the ladder.

COOPERATE • Share a persistent world with other survivors. Pool materials into the common stockpile, split the labor, and put idle hands (AI survivors) to work. • Every unit you give the stockpile earns Influence — spend it to draw from the common stores, or bank it and stand for election as the settlement’s Steward. • Haul a cryopod home and invite a friend to thaw in it: they wake at your base, in your colony, skipping the crash.

FAIR BY DESIGN • No ads. No pay-to-win. The only thing money buys is extra survivor slots. We will never sell survival — the things that keep a survivor alive are earned in the world, never bought. The planet does not pause. Grab your suit and get to work.
