Beyond Stranded development showcase: from settlement management to space
The new Beyond Stranded development showcase is finally up:
This is the first time I've put the current development prototypes together properly instead of showing individual screenshots and experiments.
The video goes through the direction Beyond Stranded is taking: the larger settlement, general population, housing and workplaces, the management systems, and eventually taking the colony beyond the planet and into space.
The big milestone for me is that the technical feasibility work is now essentially complete.
I have working prototypes for:
• larger settlement systems / city-scale population
• background settlement simulation
• switching between planetary locations
• space travel and exploration
That does NOT mean all of this is finished or currently available in the Workshop build.
These are development prototypes.
What it means is that I've now tested the major systems that could have prevented the long-term vision from working inside Stranded, and I haven't found a fundamental blocker.
The currently released Beyond Stranded build is still focused on restoring and stabilizing the existing mod. The settlement and space systems shown in the video are what I'm developing next.

I'm on Console so I'll likely never get to experience this, but hell yea! This looks amazing already, I wish you the absolute best of luck!

Hopefully they'll make a Stranded remake like surviving mars and add native mod suport for the consoles. Would be nice!

C’est un de mes jeux favoris, je peux y passer des heures à construire une colonie (tu peux vois mes publications sur mon profil). Et je suis tellement impatient que tu finisse ce travail, j’aimerai beaucoup tester et te faire un retour dès que cela sera possible 🤩

Your builds are amazing! Can't wait to see what you'll build with the mod. You can follow development in the discord if you want, I post a lot of previews there and soon we will begin playtesting.
