Everything We Know About Solarpunk

Solarpunk Story Plot

Details about Solarpunk’s narrative are still under wraps, leaving fans curious about whether it will have a storyline at all. Typically, survival games and farming simulations aren’t known for deep, overarching plots or intricate character development. However, titles like Stardew Valley, My Time at Portia, and Fields of Mystra have shown that compelling stories in these genres are indeed possible.

So far, the only clue about the game’s story lies in its setting, which is heavily inspired by the Solarpunk aesthetic. This aesthetic emphasizes sustainability, minimal waste, and eco-friendly living. It’s likely that these core principles will shape the background narrative, providing a foundation for the game’s survival and farming mechanics.

Solarpunk Gameplay

Despite its name, Solarpunk blends both Solarpunk and Aeropunk aesthetics, allowing players to harness wind, rain, and sunlight to sustain their homesteads scattered across floating islands in the sky. From the limited gameplay revealed so far, Solarpunk centers around three core activities: farming, exploration, and base-building, all shaped by the eco-friendly practices inherent in the Solarpunk philosophy.

Currently, the main gameplay loop involves gathering resources, refining them, and using them to construct bases, gadgets, farms, and parts for your airship. While finer details about unique gameplay features are still under wraps, parallels have been drawn to Lightyear Frontier, an earlier 2024 release with a similar Solarpunk theme. We’ll update this article with new information regarding the game’s gameplay as soon as it is available, so stay tuned!
