As a novice space miner, you have been assigned to work on an unexplored, distant planet. With little local fauna and a poisonous atmosphere, it shouldn't be much of a problem to expand your base and extract valuable resources. It shouldn't...

Throughout the day, discover new deposits of raw materials, mine and process them in advanced refineries. From the materials you acquire, create new tools and weapons. Repair damage and expand your base with additional modules - these are all keys to success.

At night, you must defend your base from attacks by monsters that want to destroy everything you've built. Shoot and use a variety of weapons including a variety of turrets with deadly weaponry. Do your best to fend off the advancing waves of terrifying beasts and defend your outpost.

Develop your character by acquiring new skills and equipment needed to expand and defend your base. Explore the environment and the procedurally generated underground. Gather skills, experience and technologies that will help you reach deeper and deeper with each new game and discover more mysterious artifacts. With them, new opportunities, challenges and tactics will open up for you in the next game. The variety of options will make you want to fulfill your mining contract more than once.

Your goal is to gain wealth, replenish your supplies and escape from this dangerous planet or build a fortress to resist all enemy attacks. You must take care of your well-being, adequate water, oxygen and food. Decide whether you want to take care of the environment of this alien planet or set your sights on making the most profit. Will you be able to survive this cosmic challenge in this dangerous and mysterious world?

The Tools of Tomorrow Are Coming

Welcome, Space Miners! The HQ of Cosminers is pleased to announce new developments focused on enhancing the core gameplay systems that define the players experience on Tau Ceti F.

The multitool is the most essential device of every Cosminer a versatile instrument that enables survival, progress, and defense on the planet. Work continues on the implementation of a completely redesigned multitool laser system. These mining lasers are no longer static tools they now adapt dynamically to both their intended function and the level of upgrades (color-coded power levels: red, orange, violet) and beam spread (narrow version currently implemented; moderate and wide versions in development) applied by the player. Whether used for mineral extraction, cutting, or defensive applications, each laser beam now changes in visual form, intensity, and effect, reflecting the player's evolving mining strategy and technological progress.

Beyond mining, the multitool is also used for repairing damaged infrastructure useful feature after environmental hazards. Additionally, Cosminers will rely on it to defend themselves from aggressive life forms inhabiting the planet. Several firing modes are available: the energy launcher, which charges to deliver high-damage blasts, and the plasma gun, which enables rapid-fire bursts. This expanded functionality adds meaningful tactical variety and rewards experimentation with different tool configurations and combat styles.

Equally important is the introduction of the modular Cosminer survival suits. These suits are no longer just a protective layerthey now serve as a visual and functional indicator of the players progression. As players upgrade systems, improve life support, and expand base capabilities, their suits will visibly evolve. Enhanced helmets, reinforced plating, specialized gear attachmentsall will reflect the players growth and choices throughout the campaign. Game Description Image

These enhancements are part of a broader effort to reinforce the hard sci-fi identity of Cosminers, where every elementfrom tools to equipmenttells a story of adaptation, survival, and human ingenuity in an alien world.

Thank you for continuing to support the development of Cosminers.
