Red Homestead

Survive. Thrive. Colonize.

Summary

Red Homestead is a single-player Mars colony simulator with survival elements. Players must choose supplies carefully before being dropped onto the desolate and dangerous surface of Mars to build their homestead.

State of Development

Red Homestead is currently in CLOSED ALPHA

In this phase of development, there are many bugs and even some unfinished features. CLOSED ALPHA is mainly focused on validating major subsystems, basic gameplay concepts, and basic content.

Please visit our Public Roadmap for an up-to-the-minute overview of current development and future goals.

Gameplay

Gameplay in Red Homestead revolves around base building and survival; construct base modules and industrial equipment, repair malfunctions, and manage tight resource stockpiles. Expand your base to be fully self-sufficient with greenhouses, solar panels, and ice drills.  Get caught outside at night for too long and your unlucky colonist will freeze to death. 

Simulation

Red Homestead has been built from the ground up to try and be faithful to the reams of scientific data openly available on Mars. However, making a fully accurate simulation does not make a great game, so there are many artistic licenses taken, hopefully within reason. The team maintains a list of Accuracies and Inaccuracies on the wiki.
