About Good Heavens!
Good Heavens! drops you into Xant‑Rar, a sky‑filled realm of floating islands left in disarray by the Mighty Rar. You explore procedurally generated islands, confront odd monsters, and help fractured settlements recover.
The game supports solo play or online co‑op for up to eight players, letting you build homes, raise cities, and progress through six distinct tech trees that blend combat and world‑focused skills.
01 / THE GUIDE
Co‑op Exploration
Up to eight players can join online, roaming islands together or dividing tasks. The description notes that co‑op is built around shared progression, shared exploration, and shared chaos, meaning the group advances as a whole.
Travel is done in a spaceship, and players may choose to stay side‑by‑side or split up. The shared progression system keeps discoveries and city work linked across the party.
- Consider assigning one player to focus on gathering while another handles combat.
- Use the spaceship as a meeting point to regroup after separate tasks.
02 / THE GUIDE
Raising Cities
Settlements begin as struggling outposts and can be developed into thriving cities by accepting quests, fixing local troubles, and dealing with citizens. The source states that cities can grow from rubble across Xant‑Rar.
As cities flourish, new opportunities open up, including meeting strange inhabitants and unlocking more of each settlement. The description mentions new city services becoming available as growth occurs.
- Prioritize quests that address citizen complaints to see city services appear.
- Visit a city after completing a quest to observe any new services.
03 / THE GUIDE
Building Your Home
You start small, gathering resources and turning wilderness into a personal base. The description highlights expanding workshops, setting up farms, and decorating to suit your preferences.
The home serves as a hub for crafting and equipment improvement, allowing you to progress at your own pace whether you favor cozy layouts or efficient production.
- Place farms near water sources to simplify irrigation early on.
- Arrange crafting stations close together to reduce travel time.
04 / THE GUIDE
Six Tech Trees
Progression is split across six tech trees: three combat‑focused (Warfare, Trickery, Sorcery) and three world‑focused (Homesteading, Exploration, Influence). Each tree offers distinct abilities such as light weapons, farming, or gem crafting.
The system lets you grow in the direction that fits how you want to play, mixing combat, crafting, and exploration without locking you into a single class.
- Combine Homesteading with Warfare for a balanced approach to combat and resource sustainability.
- Explore Influence early to see its impact on gear and stats.
05 / THE GUIDE
Survival and Combat
Food strengthens your stats instead of acting as a death timer, giving you freedom to explore, build, and experiment. The description notes that survival does not constantly interrupt the adventure.
Islands host diverse biomes, creatures, and bosses such as the Mountain King troll, providing varied challenges without constant meter‑watching.
- Cook meals before major fights to benefit from the stat boost.
- Observe enemy patterns in dungeons to plan your approach.
