Prospector: What’s Next on the Horizon?

[h3]Hello, Prospectors![/h3]
Time really flies and I'm steadily moving closer to the full release of Prospector. I’ve been hard at work behind the scenes, and there’s a lot of exciting new content in my pipeline to enhance your space adventures!

Let me share a little sneak peek of the confirmed features you can look forward to in the full version of Prospector:

[h2]Interplanetary Travel[/h2]
Get ready to explore a new cozy biome filled with unique resources to take your production to the next level! You’ll also gain access to a Space Elevator as part of a new questline that will unlock the ability to import resources from other planets!



[h2]Expanded Progression System[/h2]
Grow your production with additional shipping ranks and new structures. I'm working on a new power source called a Geothermal Powerplant as well as new resource capturing structures like a gas collector and oil pumps which will also come with new recipes and shippable resources.

[h2]More Varied Alien Flora and Fauna[/h2]
The world of Prospector is about to get livelier! I’m working on introducing new alien species to make the environments feel more alive and dynamic.



[h2]New Colony Contracts[/h2]
Your neighboring colonists are eager to collaborate with you even more. Expect an expanded range of contracts with fresh requests to complete, each with a novel prospecting experience.


These are just a few of the features I’m excited to bring to Prospector. There’s much more in store as I approach the finish line, and I’m thrilled to have you along for the journey. Stay tuned for updates, and as always, thank you for your support, feedback, and passion for the game.

Happy Prospecting!

A new Prospector Demo is here!

Hi Prospectors!

After a successful prologue release this past July, I’ve been working to fix bugs, add better feedback systems and improve the overall performance of the game.

I’ve also completely reworked the power grid mechanics and bot logic to make designing your outpost a more compelling experience.

Plus, there's now a new Shipping Rank 6, packed with cool new stuff for you to try out!

Whether you’re a first time Prospector or someone who played the Prologue, there’s a lot of newness to experience and I can’t wait to hear what you think!

Cheers,

Promising new survival crafting game Prospector launches Steam demo

Mixing the open-world exploration of Terraria and Astroneer with the base-building and automation elements of Factorio and Satisfactory, Prospector is a promising new sandbox game made by a solo developer that's currently set to launch later this year. You won't have to wait until then to try it, however, as a free Steam demo is out now, letting you go through the early hours for yourself and see what it has to offer.
