About the Game
Disclaimer: This game does NOT have deep simulation like Dwarf Fortress or Rimworld. It's similar, but the simulated elements are very simple in comparison. It's a survival settlement-builder with the goal of "beating" an individual world in 8-12 hours of gameplay.
Manage your ever-growing settlement! Use the resources at your disposal to build structures necessary for survival. Research new structures with a variety of functionalities. When resources grow scarce, explore your surroundings for more. Encounter other settlements and deal with them using diplomacy or hostility.
Harvest
Collect resources to build new structures and keep your settlers alive. Resource management is essential for a thriving settlement.
Build
Use resources to build structures with a variety of uses.
Explore
Clear away the unknown to discover more resources and and other settlements in a procedural world.
Recruit
Use Influence to recruit new settlers to your cause. Larger populations can produce more resources, but need more food, medicine, and housing to survive.
Research
Research new structures from a large tech tree.
Diplomacy
Interact with other settlements in a variety of ways. Figure out a way to deal with them without losing your settlers- or your settlement- in the process.

Steam Patch Notes
Official update history
- ESC no longer hides initial Settler's Tent build (this was locking new worlds)
- Saving now attempts to write to a backup file first. This should prevent any crashes during saving from corrupting the original save file.
- Battles are now prevented if there is no way for settlers to navigate to one another for fighting. A pop-up informs the player when an attempted battle failed due to navigation.
Additionally, I've re-activated the demo! Seems like people want it and I'm hoping it'll help people decide if Settler's Domain is a game for them. I'll do my best to keep it up to date in the future!
Thanks all!!
