How payment works

A fixed monthly payment gives access to all mechanics, production capacity and services included in that plan.

Alternatively, you can enable features as needed and pay for them in FN. Paid features you do not use can be disabled. The monthly amount can therefore vary between players and change over time.

The initial stage requires no payment: a player founds a colony under standard conditions and begins to develop it.

As it grows, additional mechanics can be enabled for FN. At a certain colony scale and production complexity, some server features will also require a monthly payment.

Additional production capacity, automation and tools for organizing processes may be paid for separately in FN. You choose which capabilities you need at a given time.

The cost of active features and the total monthly amount should be shown before activation. If a feature is disabled, future charges for it stop according to that service’s terms.

An alternative start is buying a colony at auction. Auctions use FN. An acquired colony may already have production and infrastructure large enough to require a monthly payment.

Every lot description will state the required FN per month, so buyers can see ongoing costs before bidding.

Colonies, production, fleets and other assets continue to exist and carry out tasks while a player is offline. Their simulation continually uses server processing time.

Larger colonies and more complex processes need more computing resources. A large persistent world requires more powerful servers and funding to operate them.

A small colony and a modest fleet without months of queued flight assignments need fewer server resources. With some services and mechanics disabled, a developed colony may cost less than €10 per month in certain configurations.

If you enable everything at once, a fixed monthly account payment may be better value. Payments on this website are currently disabled; exact prices, thresholds and terms will be shown before launch.
