Tame the Wild. Defend Your Base.
Subsistence is a sandbox, first-person, solo or co-op, PvE open-world survival game. Struggle through changing seasons to build a base, develop technology, and gear up in a highly hostile environment. You aren't just fighting the elements and wildlife—you're competing against AI Hunters who build their own bases and will actively raid yours.
Hosting a private server is the ultimate way to experience Subsistence. By renting a dedicated server, you and your friends can tackle the wilderness together. Keep your power generators running, crops growing, and base defenses ready 24/7, even when you log off.
Base Building & Power Management
Design massive fortresses and manage your power grid. Generate mass and electricity through solar panels and wind turbines to run your resource refiners.
Dynamic AI Hunters
The world is alive. AI Hunters spawn, gather resources, build their own bases, and will coordinate attacks to breach your walls and steal your hard-earned loot.
Harsh Seasonal Weather
Survive freezing winters where lakes freeze over and crops die. Manage your body temperature with clothing and wood stoves to avoid freezing to death.
