What is Icaria?

In this single-player colony-building simulation, you program robots and factories to gather resources, craft supplies, and reshape a procedurally generated alien planet. You expand your colony and build a radio network to uncover more of the world.

For you if...

  • +you like scripting robot behavior to automate resource gathering
  • +you enjoy shaping terrain and planning factory logistics
  • +you want new planet layouts on each playthrough

Not for you if...

  • you want colony building without programming worker behavior
  • you prefer fixed maps and predictable resource layouts
