About the Game

CryoFall is a sci-fi colony simulation survival game set on a forgotten planet in a distant future.

Join the vast world of CryoFall together with other survivors to rebuild your civilization from scratch. Start with primitive technology and simple tools and use them to progress towards modern industrial might and even beyond, eventually reaching space-age technology only seen in science fiction.

CryoFall can be played either as a relaxed PvE experience with no competition or as a brutal and unforgiving PvP. Make your choice and join one of many available servers with different game modes or host your own and invite your friends to join you!

Build your house or a large base together with other players. Dig wells and create farms to sustain basic needs. Build vehicles to explore the world faster. Establish basics of science, all the way from medicine and chemistry to fuel creation and even lithium extraction to create electronic devices. Cook food or prepare drinks to sell them from vending machines in your store.

Build factories to produce on an industrial scale: Weapons and defense systems, bionic implants to augment yourself, even large war machines and artillery guns to use against the biggest of opponents.

BUILD A HOUSE, BASE, OR A CITY!

Start with a small house and expand it as you progress through the technological stages. First into a large base, then invite other players and create an entire city full of infrastructure, industrial machines, agricultural sectors, shops, and more.

COMPLEX AGRICULTURE AND INDUSTRY

Find rare seeds and create plantations of different crops. Use them to cook a variety of foods, each providing different effects to your character. And if it isn’t your thing - build large factories instead to produce a variety of items, refine petroleum to use as fuel for your vehicles, create weapons, defense equipment, and more.

PLAYER RUN ECONOMY

Issue currency and establish trade around the map using automated vending machines that you configure to sell or buy anything, even when you are not around.

CONQUER THE PLANET

Previously a thriving colony, now a desolate land full of dangers. What happened to this planet? Explore far reaches of this world and find abandoned laboratories and factories left from the previous colonists. Cross deserts and tundras, tropical areas and swamps, oceans and volcanoes.

ELECTRICITY

Build an electric grid for your base to enable complex industrial processes, defense installations, and other convenient technologies. Electricity starts with generators: steam, bioreactor, engine generator, solar, etc. Then you can store this energy in large capacitors and send it to many of your consumers from a simple induction furnace to a large psi-field projector to defend your base from intruders.

  Official servers wipe schedule and PvP server changes

  PvE We would like to remind you that all the official PvE servers will have a scheduled wipe soon—this Friday, 16th January. The wipe interval for the official PvE servers is 12 weeks, making it ideal for relaxed and creative gameplay. Feel free to join any of the official PvE servers for a fresh round of economic and technological competition and race to reach the highest faction score on any of the regional PvE servers. PvP wipe Official PvP servers currently have a 2-week wipe interval and the next wipe is scheduled for Friday, 23rd January. Enjoy a level playing field and compete with other players starting together from a common point. Also this time, we are switching to a small-teams format on all official PvP servers. Faction size is limited to 2 players. Alliances are allowed—choose your allies carefully! Unfortunately, the CryoSmall community servers are no longer actively maintained by the community and will be removed at the end of the current wipe cycle. As a result, CryoSmall EU will be replaced by the Global PvP server, and CryoSmall NA will be replaced by a new official North America PvP server launching on January 23rd. This server will mirror the configuration of Global PvP and the other official PvP servers: Small teams (2-player faction limit) Alliances allowed No moderation Of course, allowing alliances and having no moderation does not make these official servers an exact replacement for CryoSmall. On the other hand, CryoSmall regularly suffered from unofficial alliances and moderation issues, as the community volunteers could not continuously monitor every player and were sometimes unable to properly resolve player reports. Given the limitations discussed above, this is the most practical solution we can provide with the new wipe. Wipe time 1 PM by GMT/UTC time (as usual). For your convenience, here is the local time in the primary time zones we have: Region Local Time UTC Offset Central US (CST) 07:00 UTC -6 Central EU (CET) 14:00 UTC +1 Russi...
