Arid Frontiers

NEW IN THE LATEST UPDATE

Take raiders captive and talk them round until they ask to join your colony.

Talk with wanderers and caravans: trade news, gifts and goods, and invite the good ones to stay.

Live with the weather: storms, droughts, heat waves and cold snaps shape every harvest.

Hover over anything to see exactly what it needs.

Arid Frontiers is a single-player colony survival simulation about settlers building a home in an unforgiving wilderness. Every day is a contest for time and labor: grow or find food, build shelter and wells, treat injuries, haul supplies, and prepare for changing weather and outside threats.
BUILD A WORKING SETTLEMENT
Place storage, shelters, beds, fires, wells, workshops, farms, and defenses. Set work priorities and role plans for hauling, building, farming, crafting, hunting, and medical care. Turn gathered materials into food, clothing, tools, weapons, medicine, and furniture.
SURVIVE A CHANGING FRONTIER
Manage hunger, sleep, warmth, health, morale, weather, fire, and combat. Treat injuries, equip your settlers, protect the vulnerable, encounter wildlife, tame companion animals, and meet visitors, traders, and hostile threats.
SHAPE YOUR COLONY'S STORY
Research practical improvements, investigate landmarks, and send expeditions across the frontier. Quests and storyteller events bring choices and consequences, while friendships, arguments, rescues, and personal memories emerge as your settlement grows.
Arid Frontiers is in active development. Early Access is planned to focus on a playable, systems-rich colony experience, with community feedback helping guide balance, usability, and new content on the road to version 1.0.
