Solarpunk is a survival crafting game set in a technically advanced world of floating islands. You can construct buildings, grow food, craft gadgets, automate routine work, and explore distant islands with your own airship.

Minimum requirements include Windows 10/11 64-bit, Intel Core i5-8400 or AMD Ryzen 5 2600, 6 GB RAM, GeForce GTX 1660 6GB or RX 5500 XT 6GB, broadband internet, and 5 GB storage.

Yes. You can play solo or with friends, and everyone has their own inventory while choosing whether to build together or keep a separate corner of the island.

Solarpunk uses wind, solar, and water-driven systems. Weather can affect output, while batteries and wireless power help keep your base stable, so energy planning becomes part of the survival loop.

Yes. Automation uses transport drones and powered systems to gather resources or support plant care, freeing more time for base building, farming, and sky island exploration.

Food comes mainly from fruits and vegetables grown from planted seeds. Animals are part of a coexistence loop rather than a harsh resource system, and well-treated pigs can help by digging up truffles.

Each player can build an airship and use it to travel between surrounding islands, explore new biomes, and find resources.

No. Solarpunk Run is an unofficial fan site and is not affiliated with the developer, publisher, Steam, or Valve.
