Before you settle in
Is the demo free, and does it save?
Yes. No wallet or token is needed. The demo runs in this tab, uses faster crops and staged neighbors, and resets when you reload or leave. Its progress cannot be moved into a multiplayer character. Demo reports are previews rather than messages to support.
How does the token gate work?
At launch, multiplayer checks that your connected wallet holds the configured minimum of the game token. The sign-in screen shows the selected network and requirement. You sign a message to prove wallet ownership; the game does not ask you to transfer tokens or approve spending to sign in. Before the token launches, multiplayer stays closed and the demo remains open.
Do I spend tokens to farm or take a trip?
No. The current game uses earned credits and materials for its activities. Its packs, discoveries and rewards are in-game items; they are not stock, cash, or a promised financial return. Holding a quote token or liquidity-pool token does not satisfy the game-token gate.
What if my balance falls below the minimum?
The server periodically rechecks holdings. If it confirms insufficient holdings, multiplayer pauses and your progress is saved. Return with a qualifying wallet to continue. A connection or RPC problem may also temporarily prevent access; the free demo stays available.
Can I visit friends in other neighborhoods?
In multiplayer, use the Mars Map to find a public callsign or outpost address, save friends and visit their homes. You can join an online friend's gathering when it has room. Homes can be visited while their owners are offline; visitors cannot spend the owner's credits or change their decorations.
How do I keep my character?
Multiplayer progress saves on the game's server and a signed-in wallet returns to its linked character. Existing alpha characters also have a private recovery-file option under Profile. Keep recovery files private. Demo progress does not save, and you should not assume a local alpha world will become the launch world unless that migration is announced.
Do I need an NFT for Pip?
No. Pip is included, and you can earn colors and accessories by playing. The proposed Founding Rovers collection is separate cosmetic artwork; ownership benefits are not enabled in this build. It does not replace the multiplayer token requirement.
What can I do when I return?
Open Outpost Report for ready crops, visits and shared-project changes. Little Adventures offers daily activities and permanent milestones, with no consecutive-day streak requirement. Orders, discovery collections and weekly festivals give you different things to work toward.
How do I move, and can I turn off sound?
Use WASD or arrow keys, or click the ground. The navigation and action buttons offer access to activities. Sound is opt-in through the Sound button. The game respects your device's reduced-motion preference. Real-device touch and full assistive-technology playtesting are still pending for this local alpha.
Where can I report a problem?
In multiplayer, open Outpost Report → Community & Support for bug reports, player reports, mute and block. Describe what happened, the time and your browser/device. Never include a seed phrase, private key or recovery credential. While testing the free demo locally, give feedback to the project owner; demo reports are not submitted.
Local alpha: the game and token have not been launched by this build. Use the access screen for the current requirement and official project announcements for any launch details.
