After surviving impossible odds, Jan Scientist sees something on the hostile planet that no one else can ignore: a scientific breakthrough that could redefine everything. To pursue it, he remains behind, embarking on a new journey centered around the mysterious phenomenon known as the Oasis.
Check out new Date Reveal Trailer on YouTube:This expansion introduces roughly 20 hours of new content, featuring an entirely new progression loop built around exploration, scientific research, and terraforming.

Investigating the Oasis requires expertise from a range of specialized Jan Scientists, including Geologists, Biologists, Chemists, and Physicists. They may share the same face and similar story, but they don't always share the same beliefs.As Jan Scientist enters extended periods of cryosleep to survive the planet's extreme conditions, his Alters will be assigned to Field Labs to continue work on the surface. Time affects them differently. While years pass, their perspectives, priorities, and relationships may evolve in unexpected ways.
Lead a team of scientifically minded alters as they attempt to understand the Oasis and uncover the secrets hidden beneath the planet's surface.
Transform hostile environments into lush, life-filled biomes. Every successful terraforming effort reshapes the world, unlocks new resources, and triggers stronger planetary responses, including earthquakes, radiation waves, and other hazards.
Expand into different soil types, unlock new structures, and research powerful additions such as the Cryosleep Chamber, allowing you to survive longer and witness the long-term impact of your decisions.
Each planetary cooldown creates a new opportunity to explore a transformed landscape. Assign Alters to Field Labs, continue research projects during cryosleep, and push your scientific ambitions further than ever before.
The Oasis is waiting for you, Jan.
