Eden Crafters Gameplay – Chill Survival Building Fun on an Alien Planet

Hey guys,

I recently did a one hour livestream playing Eden Crafters and honestly, I had a pretty good time with it. The game is basically a survival building game similar to Conan Exiles or Valheim but with a sci-fi setting on an alien planet. It even gave me some “poor man’s No Man's Sky” vibes, and I mean that in a good way.

The first thing I noticed was how easy the controls were to learn. I didn’t struggle much figuring things out, which made the experience feel very relaxed and casual. At first, I actually thought the game only had a first person view, but after checking the control settings, I discovered pressing F5 changes the camera perspective between first and third person. That definitely made the gameplay more enjoyable for me.

Most of the stream was spent running around gathering resources like iron ore, quartz, copper ore and stone. Resource gathering was simple but surprisingly fun. Processing materials was also easy to understand, although it did become a little tedious after a while. Still, it never felt frustrating enough to ruin the experience.

One thing I really liked was the building system. The game uses a grid system when placing objects, which made aligning structures much easier. Building bases and placing machines felt smooth and straightforward, especially compared to other survival games where positioning objects can sometimes feel messy.

Graphically, the game looked okay even at the lowest settings. Since it’s an indie game, I wasn’t expecting amazing visuals or top-tier character animations. The animations were a little rough, but nothing too distracting.

The only thing that really annoyed me was the oxygen system. Running out of oxygen happened way too fast, so I constantly had to refill it while exploring. It added tension, sure, but it also interrupted the flow of gameplay more than I wanted.

Overall, I enjoyed my time with Eden Crafters. It’s a chill survival crafting game with easy building mechanics, simple gameplay and a fun sci-fi atmosphere. I can definitely see myself playing more of it in future streams.
