About Solarpunk

Solarpunk™ is a survival adventure set on floating islands where players can build, farm, and automate in a technologically advanced world. Up to five players can cooperate online, each managing their own inventory while sharing or separating their sky‑bound homes. Energy comes from wind, solar, and water, and must be stored and transmitted to keep bases functional. The game emphasizes symbiotic animal relationships, especially with pigs that can uncover truffles when cared for.

01 / THE GUIDE

Building and Design

Players can construct homes and decorations using a wide range of materials, creating personalized island bases. The demo showcases community‑crafted structures, encouraging creativity in layout and detail.

Construction is unrestricted, allowing cozy spaces and tiny details that make each island feel like home.

  • Plan your layout before placing large structures to maximize space for farms and energy devices.
  • Use decorative items to differentiate personal corners when playing with friends.

02 / THE GUIDE

Energy and Automation

Electricity is generated via wind and solar sources, with weather influencing output. Batteries store excess power, and wireless transmission keeps bases powered.

Transport drones can be programmed to gather resources, freeing time for building and exploration.

  • Monitor weather forecasts to anticipate drops in energy production.
  • Place batteries near high‑usage areas to reduce transmission loss.

03 / THE GUIDE

Multiplayer Co‑op

The game supports solo play or online co‑op with up to four friends. Each participant has an individual inventory, allowing independent or shared construction.

Players can decide whether to collaborate on a single base or develop separate corners within the same island.

  • Communicate resource needs early to avoid inventory clashes.
  • Assign specific roles, such as builder or farmer, to streamline teamwork.

04 / THE GUIDE

Farming and Animals

Food is sourced from fruits and vegetables grown from planted seeds. Animals coexist peacefully; pigs, for example, will dig up truffles when treated well.

There is no exploitation mechanic—animals simply contribute to the ecosystem.

  • Water crops regularly using the automated system to ensure steady food supply.
  • Treat pigs kindly to increase the chance of finding valuable truffles.

05 / THE GUIDE

Airship Exploration

Each player can construct an airship to travel between islands, discovering new resources and environments.

Airships serve as personal transport, expanding the reachable area beyond the home island.

  • Upgrade your airship’s storage before long trips to carry extra materials.
  • Map nearby islands early to plan efficient resource routes.
