About Order: The New Dawn
Order: The New Dawn places you in the boots of a United Stellar captain tasked with rebuilding civilization on the desert world of New Terra. As the rebellion rages, you must explore a fragmented star system, gather resources, and construct colonies from the ground up.
The game blends colony simulation with space‑adventure, letting you design bases room by room, assemble fleets, and erect megastructures across unknown planets. Your choices shape whether order is restored, crumbles, or descends into deeper chaos.
01 / THE GUIDE
Colony Building
You can construct colonies from scratch, arranging rooms to suit your strategic needs. Each outpost serves as a foothold for expanding your influence across New Terra. The system lets you design bases room by room, giving you control over layout and function as you grow your settlement.
- Consider the terrain when placing your first outpost to reduce travel time to resources.
- Plan room placement early to avoid later re‑configuration.
02 / THE GUIDE
Exploration
Seamlessly connected star system maps let you travel between derelict space facilities and unknown planets. Environments range from scorching deserts to frozen tundras and volcanic wastelands. Exploring these varied biomes reveals hidden resources and ancient ruins that can be incorporated into your growing empire.
- Scout multiple biomes early to identify the most resource‑rich locations.
- Use the map connections to plan efficient routes between points of interest.
03 / THE GUIDE
Resource Management
Surface resources are ripe for collection, providing the raw materials needed for construction and research. Advanced United Stellar technology helps you harvest and process these assets efficiently. Gathered resources feed into research trees, unlocking new structures and capabilities for your colonies and fleets.
- Prioritize gathering resources that unlock critical research early.
- Balance extraction with preservation to avoid depleting key sites.
04 / THE GUIDE
Space Fleet Construction
You can assemble space fleets to travel between planets and defend your holdings. You can assemble fleets alongside your base construction as you expand. A well‑built fleet enables rapid expansion and protects your colonies from hostile forces encountered in the Wastespace.
- Start with versatile ship classes that can serve multiple roles.
- Upgrade fleet components after securing new research breakthroughs.
