Farlanders is a turn-based city-building, strategy and simulation game available on Mac (macOS) where players lead the colonization of Mars by constructing a thriving settlement from scratch. Developed by Andriy Bychkovskyi and published by Crytivo, Farlanders combines tactical planning, resource management, and terraforming mechanics to challenge players to balance growth with survival in a harsh alien environment.
In the game, each map is procedurally generated, so no two playthroughs are the same — terrain features like mountains, canyons, water sources, and mineral deposits change every session, demanding adaptable strategies. You begin by placing foundational infrastructure such as housing, power plants, farms, and water pumps, then expand outward while keeping your colonists’ needs met. Terraforming tools allow you to reshape the Martian surface — turning canyons into fertile land or uncovering underground areas rich in resources. As your colony grows, managing logistics like water, electricity, production chains, and trade becomes increasingly complex and rewarding.
With Steam Achievements, Steam Cloud, and Mac support since its release on January 17, 2023, Farlanders is a compelling strategic simulation for fans of thoughtful city builders and sci-fi colony sims.
