Auroria is an open-world co-op sandbox from the Chinese studio Tianjin Wumai Technology. Explorers who have drifted through the Beia Galaxy land on an uncharted blue planet and start turning it into a home.

The loop is gathering and building: fell trees, mine, and raise a base anywhere from a garden to a castle. On top of that come farming, fishing and cooking, taming exotic pets and mounts, puzzles, and group fights against wild Lords. The planet spans grasslands, rainforests, ice fields and deserts, and research eventually lets you build rockets and head into space.

It is a relaxed take on survival crafting for a group of friends. Downsides: Steam lists only Chinese and English, there is no release date, and how large its servers will be is not yet clear.
