In One Lonely Outpost, you’re a pioneer that’s attempting to colonise the barren planet of Calypso. When you arrive you’ll find that the earth is not quite suitable for the human population yet. But luckily we have technology on our side and soon you’ll be able to terraform the planet and start growing some crops. Once that happens you’ll attract some new colonists that might want to settle in your budding town.
New colonists bring with them new materials, they’ll open new shops and even become your friend. Once they settle in it’ll be your responsibility to keep your colonists fed. In this guide, we’ll go through what you need to recruit the new settlers, what they’ll unlock and everything else, what they like to eat and everything else you need to know about them.

One Lonely Outpost
You’re the first pioneer to hit the surface of a barren, alien world – a desolate expanse as far as the eye can see. Your job is simple: Take your Space-RV, power up your multipurpose tech gauntlet, and use whatever seeds are found in the cargo to start a new life in this world. Over time, you’ll make the planet life-sustaining for yourself and dozens of future colonists. But until then, it’s going to be one lonely outpost…
One Lonely Outpost is available now on Early Access on PC – Steam.
