Code: Terraform has been released in early access on Steam with a native Linux build.

Code: Terraform is an automation and programming game in which every action runs through scripts you write yourself: using a language modeled after Python, with a full editor, console and built-in documentation, you bring a silent base on a frozen alien world back to life one script at a time - from calibrating sensors to solar trackers, drone fleets and power and fluid networks.

The game normally costs 15.49 €. A 10% launch discount brings it down to 13.94 €. A free demo is also available on Steam.

You’ve been sent to a frozen alien world. Your ship is silent. Sensors offline. The only way to bring this place to life is to write code.

Code: Terraform is an automation/programming game where every action happens through scripts you write. Not visual programming. Not drag and drop. Real code, in a language modeled after Python, with a full editor, console, and documentation built into the game.

You don’t click to mine. You write the mining script. You don’t manage a power grid by hand. You script the policy that runs it. Solar trackers follow the sun because your code reads the clock. Drone fleets fly because your code dispatches them. The more systems you script, the more the planet responds.

A real programming environment: Full code editor with syntax highlighting, autocomplete, signature help, type aware completions, rename refactoring, and inline docs. Multiple scripts running concurrently. Library scripts for shared code. Breakpoints, log points, conditional breakpoints, three step modes for real debugging.

No hand holding: There are docs and hints. No tutorials. Figure it out, like a real engineer would.
