About Surviving Ceres

Hostile Environment

You have been sent alone to the dwarf planet Ceres. You must endure the harsh environment while you gather, craft, and build the basics required to stay alive. Build machines, facilities, and farms as you establish a foothold in this icy world.

Don't Struggle Just Automate

No tedious gathering of the same materials over and over. Once you acquire a material and locate deep deposits, you can build and use drills to automate collection.


Base Building

The modular base building makes building easy for players who are not creative, while place-able objects, decorations, and glass variations allow more creative players to go wild.


Export and Import

Export rare materials and manufactured goods back to Earth to earn funding. This funding is used to research new technologies and upgrades. You can also import supplies from Earth to supplement your needs.


Prepare For Company

Once you have established a viable base, including some colonist-specific modules such as the barracks, mess hall, and rec room, you can call in passenger ships with people to join your colony. Then, put your colonists to work on advanced facilities used to create complex goods, defend against hostile aliens, and perform other advanced functions such as terraforming and power generation.

Things Are Warming Up

Once you begin terraforming the planet, ice melts, giving you access to new areas. Here, you will find more advanced materials used to advance the terraforming process.

Defend Your Assets

As terraforming advances, you will need to defend yourself against attacks from hostile alien creatures on the ground and in the air. Eventually, you will take the fight to them by destroying alien nests and going on expeditions to eliminate all hostile life forms to make Ceres safe for humanity.The higher the difficulty settings combined with how quickly you complete milestones or the terraforming of Ceres will determine how well you score on the leaderboards. Can you be efficient and reach the top spot?So what are you waiting for?  Get in there and start terraforming the dwarf planet Ceres into a viable human colony today.

Not recommended Feb 23, 2026
Thought this game would be more pleasing to the eye, but most of the items in the game looks like it was made for Roblox. The game had potential, but it seems like this game was rushed. The boss fights are way too easy when most bugs won't even target the turrets. All of the tier 2 equipment is completely useelss as there is no need to stay underwater long, and there is no radiation zones. A lot of the items of the part factory are never needed and some parts even have the wrong description. Again, I played to the end out of curiousity, but I didn't even see any complex creatures roaming the land once I accomplished that stage (95%). I don't always stop at graphics, but this could have easily been a much better game if given the time! I know it's a solo dev, and to you I say, good job, great concept, but I hope you'll be giving this game some much needed love in future updates!

this is an excellent survival builder, i would have loved a multiplayer option to game with my friends on it, but the fact it doesnt have one makes it no less of a good game. i would have loved a way to fight back more directly though.

I really like the game <3 but it has crashed twice on me today and i saw game saved flash up a few times in the last 2 hours but it froze and crashed again and then i log back in and 2 hours worth of game play gone.... I just don't think i can continue the way it is atm which is a shame.

You have to grind to get anywhere in this game, but i found it fun. I enjoyed the game. Positives: missions to follow to progress the game, some loot drops along the way to help, able to make the game easier or harder by changing numerous variables, i enjoyed the crafting progression. Negatives: limited to a small space, cant explore over the hills, when ice walls defrost, it leads to areas already explored... not something new, Alien bacteria sampler is useless. Not sure i would buy at full price, but would buy again on special. I used an easier setting completed games missions in about 4 days. Still playable and can exapnd more, but missions objectives are coompleted now. Note for developer: expand past the mountain border to allow for village creation maybe and allow for a colonising city to be built in a bigger area.

I had a lot of fun with this game. Are the visuals a little basic? Yes, but they get the concepts across. Is the base layout game fun? Actually, yeah, for me it is. At first, my OCD was twitching because of the irregularity in the base piece sizes, but I let go and ended up having a ton of fun working within the limits of each piece. You do end up having a rather winding set of turns, so using signs is a MUST. I'm a player who focuses on crafting and building instead of combat, and I really appreciated having all the world settings customizable at the start. I would recommend this game to people who like terraforming games with a little different approach to base building. While the monsters you encounter are quite terrifying (mostly due to their size), you can easily deal with them with good defenses. Finally, the dev building this game (Ryan) is just incredibly nice and hard working, although I know him only through Discord chats. Got 10 bucks? This is a nice way to support a dev who has interesting ideas and also have a ton of fun for a week or so.

A nice enough survival builder. Doesn't have the polish or depth of a game like planet crafter, and is still a bit rough around the edges, but most of the bugs mentioned in earlier negative reviews are fixed, and the few bugs that remain are annoyances rather than game breaking horrors. Recommendation: Buy if you like the genre, maybe on sale.
