About the game
What is Openworld?
Openworld is a voxel survival and building game on a whole round planet. You start empty-handed at dawn, punch a tree, and climb a long progression: stone tools, furnaces, iron, steel, oil, electricity, automation, rockets to the Moon and ships in orbit, and finally the planets of the Solar System and the Sun, where the game ends.
This wiki is written from the same knowledge base as the game: the tutorial on each page is the very text of the game's progress tree and item sheets, and the progress path here is the game's own. Use the sections below, the search, or the progress path to find your next step.
