Read details on the game below:
Embark on a chill experience alone or with up to eight friends in online cooperative play. Your mission is to survive on a hostile planet and turn a barren land into a lush paradize. Terraforming is the only way!
You are sent on a hostile planet with one mission: Make it habitable for Humans. You’ll have to survive, collect resources, build your base, produce machines to heat the planet, create an oxygen-rich atmosphere and eventually geo-engineer an entire planet!
Gather minerals and resources to survive. Craft all the tools you need to fulfill your mission. Explore old shipwrecks and ruins and discover a planet full of mysteries!
You’ll need a base and all sorts of machines to make yourself at home, and be able to bring life to this planet! Progress through building tiers to upgrade and expand your base and explore the planet further.
See life forms appear on the planet as you terraform it by increasing heat, oxygen and pressure. Witness the first signs of life with moss and insects and unleash the planet’s full potential with thick forests and animals.

I played on PC and it is a pretty good game, if you like this sort of experience of building up things. It is nice how the planet visibly changes the more you progress. That includes in the start screen if you choose your savegame and the shot from space looks different depending on your progress.
