PICK UP A PICKAXE

Welcome to the mine.

Alkeed is a vast side-view sandbox game with a world stretching 9,000 tiles deep. Carve out sprawling mines, build underground workshops, and connect them with shafts, elevators and power cables. Bring a torch. There are things down there.

It's a playable work in progress, not a finished release. If you want to poke around, the Windows build is right here.

Actual saved Alkeed world: a built elevator in a dug-out underground workshop, with ladders, warm lamps, purple torchlight and a furnace.

What's down there?

Hello its me, come in and dig!Dig & explore
Hills, valleys and frozen caves in a world 9,000 tiles deep. Mine blocks, place ladders and build elevators between floors.
Build a base
Walls, doors, storage and a place to come back to. New building items show a snapped preview before you place them.
Wire the workshop
Wood and coal fuel the furnace. Connect outlets and lamps with the Wiring Tool. One furnace makes 100 power; each lamp uses 10.
Keep an eye out
Slimes, frozen-underground enemies, fireflies and Mini Phoenixes. Trade Ember Shards with the wandering miner. Pollution can attract base attacks.

From the workbench

Recent changes in the current build—not a promise about the next one.

BUILDING

No more white placement box

Items show a see-through sprite where they'll land. Red means the spot is blocked or out of reach.

ELECTRICAL

More lamps. Less guessing.

251 lamp variants and views, outlet-to-lamp wiring, and a shared power budget. Too many lamps? They'll blink, then shut off until there's enough power.

SUPPLIES

One chest. Not a chest town.

The spawn supply chest has eight pages and one full stack of every item. Non-stackable tools get one copy. Old untouched supply chests are cleaned up.

Not built yet: production chains, conveyors and mining carts. No trains.

Browser version? Multiplayer?

Neither right now. This is a native Windows x64 game for one player. No account required; it runs offline after downloading.

The game won't start

Extract the whole ZIP first, then run the executable from its folder. If Windows reports missing runtime DLLs, install the Microsoft Visual C++ x64 runtime. Don't download individual DLLs from random sites.

Where are my saves?

Documents\My Games\Terrestria-BasePollution. If Documents is unavailable, check saves-base-pollution beside the executable. Back them up before updating; experimental save formats can change.

Why is everything marked experimental?

We're still changing features, balance and save formats. The download is playable, but this isn't a finished game. The work log above describes what's actually in it.
