About the Game
BUILD & CONTROL YOUR AIRSHIP
You will build and customize a high-tech airship. It will be your home, workshop, laboratory and more while flying above the surface of Earth. Control and steer it towards the ruins of our civilization and mysterious anomalies. Manage your airship hull and its integrity. Extract and gather resources to improve your airship and make it uniquely yours.
UTILIZE SCIENCE TO SURVIVE
Your scientific know-how will allow you to build and operate different machines. Analyze scanned items and reverse engineer lost technology. Research new ways of obtaining food and resources, discover new tools, and increase the chance of your survival.
SCAVENGE RUINED SKIES
Explore and extract resources from the ruins that were built up high to escape the dust. Surrounded by drifting debris caused by a strange anomaly, harvest it into raw materials to help you survive. Explore and discover the remains of our civilization. Find out what happened and why Earth evolved to a place where we lost control of our previous position at the top. Discover secrets of our past.
DESCEND BELOW THE DUST
After descending below the dust, you will discover a strange new world, the planet's surface that changed in our absence. Face evolved fauna and flora and hunt for viral pathogens to cure a mysterious illness threatening your family.
RETURN TO EARTH
Forever Skies is an action-survival game taking place on Earth, which was devastated by a global ecological disaster. This event caused the surface of the planet to be covered in a colossal layer of toxic dust. You’re returning to our planet hundreds of years later - will you recognize our world?

Up to date
Greetings scientists,
We have a new hotfix NOW LIVE on Steam that addresses a wide range of issues reported.
Thank you to everyone who sent over their logs for the hunger, thirst and oxygen meters not dropping under specific circumstances. They have been helping us narrow down and pinpoint what's causing it. We believe we have a potential fix in today's build, but we can't verify if it's working correctly. Keep speaking to us and let us know if it's worked or if it's still an issue.
Here are the full patchnotes...
ADDED:
- Added the keybind option for turning devices on and off.
CHANGED:
- Changed how vitals drain behaves after death. Main vitals drain effects are now paused when the player is marked as dead instead of being removed entirely.

- Performance optimized on the Hideout landmark.
- Optimized the Small Town.
- Optimized Greenhouse Tower.
- Optimized Temporary Camp.
- Optimized cooked and raw item setups.
- Optimized several side quest locations, including Second Expedition, Stolen Future, Hunting Giants, Fishes of the Sky Ocean, The Pirate Dream and Path of Greed.

- Fixed selected side quest and location setup issues, including Borrowed Pal and Hight Point.
- Fixed an issue where Emergency Damage and Overload Damage difficulty settings could swap values.
- Fixed some difficulty screen text not fitting properly in the New Game and Load Game screens.
- Fixed the Surplus visual effect remaining visible if electricity was turned off while Surplus was active.

- Fixed an issue where items requiring containers were not swapped correctly.
- Fixed an issue where starting to cook food could remove an additional food item from the player’s inventory.
- Fixed an issue where the Distiller could become stuck and could no longer be removed or used.
- Fixed poor UI scaling for loading save games in some languages, including German and Spanish.
- Fixed an invisible Lightning Flash widget that could still be clicked when the Display Lightning Flash option was turned off.
- Fixed the Lightning Flash widget so it no longer blocks clicks.
- Fixed Dust Daisies being desynced in co-op.
Have a great weekend!

Greetings scientists,
The latest hotfix for Ver.1.3.0 is now live. It includes fixes for some of the most-reported issues, such as nerfing enemy quantities on locations, removing redundant lightning storm notifications, missing helium, a slider for lightning flashes and more.
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41775446/043c574e62ee97fc1f4bababf4250316f8478690.png
We have also made improvements to the Custom Difficulty Mode to address some of the other issues raised. Thank you for your continued feedback, you’re helping make Forever Skies a better game!
CUSTOM DIFFICULTY MODE IMPROVEMENTS
As we continue to look through discussions on our Community tab and read through reviews, we've noticed that some players weren't aware that Custom Difficulty Mode was available to them. With this in mind, we have tweaked our difficulty settings page, both from the main menu and pause menu, to make the options more visible to players.
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41775446/41e0bf458e27ff4280dacb52b9441661464b565d.gif
We've added a dedicated Difficulty tab, making it much easier to find custom gameplay options such as enemy quantity, enemy health, hunger, thirst, and more.
But we have also added two new options to the Custom Difficulty Mode based on your feedback:
{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/41775446/8dc40dc409495a2abb59c213cc1926baa7cf802a.png
- Airship Electricity lets you disable the new Electricity system mechanics, meaning devices on your airship can be used freely, without needing to manage generators and airship power states.
- Storm Frequency does…well…exactly what you would expect it to do. Adjust how often you get storms in-game. If you want more storms to power your Surplus Mode, then go ahead. If not, then feel free to reduce them.
Tailor the experience to suit your playstyle.
You can read the full patchnotes below:
ADDED:
- Added a new Custom Difficulty option to enable or disable the electricity system.
- Added a new Custom Difficulty option for storm frequency.
- Added difficulty settings information to the death screen, making it clearer which custom rules are active when the player dies.
- Add a New Difficulty Settings Tab and Improve Custom Difficulty Visibility
- Added a new setting to enable or disable lightning flashes during thunderstorms.
- Improved Camera Shake settings support when using a gamepad.
CHANGED:
- Devices can now still be turned on or off even when the electricity system is disabled through Custom Difficulty.
- The electricity system can now be turned on or off during gameplay, and the game will correctly apply the change without requiring a restart.
- Surplus behaviour was improved so it starts correctly.
- Electricity-related Custom Difficulty settings were reorganised and cleaned up.
- Changed gamepad input increments for Camera Shake settings to make adjustments smoother.
- Balanced storm behaviour.
- Reduced redundant notifications about incoming storms.
- Reduced the base number of enemies on locations.
- Adjusted Command Center resource setup so helium can be found correctly again.
FIXED:
- Fixed Crustpede spawners not saving their state.
- Fixed turned-off thrusters being unregistered after loading the game.
- Fixed an issue where Surplus could fail to start
- Fixed device on/off behaviour when electricity was disabled in Custom Difficulty.
- Fixed Camera Shake settings only switching between 0% and 100%.
- Fixed redundant incoming storm notifications.
- Fixed an issue where engines could be installed but remain powered off without clear feedback.
- Fixed an issue where the player could block stamina regeneration by holding the attack button after a weak knife attack.
- Fixed an enemy spawn issue where enemies could appear somewhere they could not reach the player.
- Fixed enemies not always spawning loot.
- Fixed missing loot for enemies spawned in side quests.
- Fixed missing helium at the Command Center location.
- Fixed the wrecked Weather Machine missing from Workshop Variant studies.
- Fixed several content setup issues connected to Custom Difficulty, electricity damage settings and update collections.
KNOWN ISSUES:
- Sometimes the vital bars, such as Hunger, Thirst, and Energy, stop decreasing. We're currently investigating this issue, but it only seems to occur under very specific and difficult-to-reproduce circumstances, making it challenging to identify the root cause. If you encounter this bug, we'd greatly appreciate it if you could send your game logs to [email protected]. Reports submitted through the in-game F6 reporting tool, on this occasion, haven't provided enough information for us to reliably reproduce the issue, so game logs are our best chance of tracking down the cause. The file path for logs: C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Local\ProjectZeppelin\Saved\Logs
- Night is Coming quest sometimes triggers when loading a game with a fully completed main quest line
- Side Quests can sometimes appear at two Radio Towers
- Sprinklers are not watering all the Garden Pots under the Sprinkler
- Sometimes, using a ladder in co-op might turn players sideways
- Audio issues with Generators
Thats all for now!

FIXED:
- Fixed a bug that prevented any Turbines from increasing the maximum weight capacity of the airship, making players who played on an existing save struggle to make progress with the new Electricity System.
- Fixed the visual bug that created a blurry screen when players interacted with the helm while using a controller.

Greetings scientists,
We’ve just updated our beta branch with the next patch, Ver.1.2.2. This is our “spring cleaning” patch, essentially, as it contains mostly fixes and performance improvements. If you have been struggling with performance when playing, then we invite you to switch over to the beta version and let us know if it has improved things.
After the (unwelcome) surprise memory leak in last month's hotfix, we wanted to play it a little safe and test the patch here first before it made its way to the live build.
Speaking of the live build, this patch will be made live on March 4th 2026. And to celebrate the arrival of spring, there will be a little spring-themed surprise included in the patch in addition to these bug fixes and performance improvements. We just need a few more days to get everything ready. We will share more info next week!
Here are the patchnotes for today's beta build:

Greetings scientists,
Thank you to everyone who let us know about the game freezes - and there were a lot of you!
The hotfix we just sent out should have fixed the issue. We have had to reverse a lot of the performance improvements from yesterday's hotfix, and just keep the bug fixes for the Metal Collector & Picture Frame.
We will continue to work on optimization in the meantime and re-release those improvements at a later date. Please keep speaking to us and let us know if today's hotfix has fixed the issue. Your feedback is vital.
