Æther Vein is a sci-fi base-building and defence game set inside unstable dimensional anomalies known as Æther Veins.

Features

• Build automated mining operations

• Manage drones and logistics networks

• Defend your base from escalating alien attacks

• Expand and Exploit the terrain to your advantage

Corporations hire operators to deploy automated mining operations onto fractured planes of reality to harvest rare exotic resources. But these places are not empty — hostile alien lifeforms the Æther Guardians want to stop you and defend their resources.

Build extractors, logistics hubs, and defensive towers while expanding your operation. Balance expansion with defence as the attacks grow more aggressive the longer you remain.

Survive the pressure, secure your quota, and decide whether to leave with your haul — or risk the operation for more.

Prototype Build
