Why this world

Open-world survival crafting with creature collecting, base automation and far too many ways to lose a night. My breeding and base-layout notes live here.

Official pitch: Fight, farm, build and work alongside mysterious creatures called "Pals" in this completely new multiplayer, open world survival and crafting game!
