Eden Crafters plays like a mix of Planet Crafter and Satisfactory, drawing inspiration from both. Its main focuses are automation, base building, crafting, exploration and terraforming. While not perfect, it has the same potential as other games I’ve played that became some of my favourites.


🟩 Pros:

+ Co-op
+ Resource warehouses
+ Multiple planets, with more planned
+ The tutorial is a welcome addition to the genre
+ Drone to collect resources in hard to reach places

🟥 Cons:

- No map
- Buildings don’t clip to each other
- The oxygen mechanic could annoy some
- Lack of guidance for new buildings and tiers
- Doesn’t bring anything new, that’s notable, to the genre, nor does it do anything better than others

🏷️ Suggestions:

~ AI Lifeforms
~ Building radius
~ Planet analysis tool
~ Power toggle for buildings
~ Add a story with milestone goals
~ Splitters and mergers with filters
~ Copy / paste existing buildings (including their outputs)
~ View hologram of buildings and allow for micro-adjustments before confirming placement (for those with OCD / perfectionists)


Eden Crafters (EC) is an example of early access done right. Featuring an ambitious vision, clear roadmap, communicative dev, and meaningful updates, it presents as an enjoyable experience overall. Playing similarly to other established titles, for the price, I highly recommend it to those who enjoy the genre.

EC combines the terraforming of Planet Crafters and the automation of Satisfactory to create a focused, streamlined experience. Like others in the genre, you begin by manually mining and processing resources into buildings and components before unlocking automation. The opening hours may feel slow, but once automation is unlocked, progression and enjoyment increase significantly.

Ultimately, EC is a relaxing experience focused on exploration and terraforming, with automation, base building, and crafting being implemented to a sufficient, albeit improvable degree. While rough around the edges, being in EA, this is expected. Try the demo today!
