About Extracto Proviso

You were not sent to Berra-11 to ask questions.

You are a lone android, dropped onto a distant world with one directive: extract. Strip the planet of its ore, its oil, its living forests — feed it all into the machine, and ship it to the humans fighting a war on the far side of the stars.

You are very good at your directive. You will build sprawling mines, roaring smelters, rivers of conveyor belts and pipelines that never sleep. And somewhere between the first furnace and the ten-thousandth crate of steel, something half-buried in the alien soil will begin to whisper — and you will start to wonder who the machine is really for.

Extracto Proviso is a first-person factory-building game about automation, survival, and one machine's slow awakening on a planet that was never yours to take.

BUILD THE MACHINE

Start with your bare hands and a handful of ore. End with a planet-spanning industrial network.

• Mine, smelt, and manufacture hundreds of items across deep production chains
• Weave conveyor belts, pipelines, splitters, and storage into elegant (or gloriously chaotic) logistics
• Power it all with an evolving grid — from coal-fired generators to solar arrays and fusion reactors
• Snap-together building, drag-to-build belts and walls, and factory tools designed to keep you in the flow

A PLANET THAT PUSHES BACK

Berra-11 is not empty, and it is not passive.

• Push outward through four distinct regions — from the calm Safe Haven to frozen forests, volcanic wastes, and stranger places beyond — each home to deadlier native creatures
• Frozen ground slows your machines to a crawl until a Heater thaws it; volcanic heat overheats them until a Cooler cuts in
• Your factory's pollution does not go unnoticed: the dirtier your industry, the harder the wilderness hits back
• Night brings prowlers to the edge of your lights, and the wilder regions each hide a boss
• Hold the line with turrets, walls, and armor — or clean up your act and build smarter

YOU ARE NOT ALONE

• Craft robot companions that haul, harvest, fight, and follow you into the wild
• Drone ports that fly cargo between outposts, and blueprint drones that build what you sketch
• Equip your chassis with gear, upgrades, and augments to become the machine the planet fears
• Uncover artifacts left by something far older than the war — and listen to what they have to say

CLIMB THE LADDER

• Research technology across a sprawling star map, from basic automation to wonders your creators never authorized
• Deliver milestones to advance the war effort... for as long as you choose to
• Every answer you dig up asks a harder question: what happens when the tool decides what it is for?

PLAY IT YOUR WAY

• Tune hostility from peaceful sandbox to relentless siege
• Requisition deadlines and raids can be dialed down or switched off entirely — automate at your own pace
• Single-player, offline-friendly, engineered for hundreds of hours of "one more optimization"

The humans call it a supply mission. The planet calls it something else.

What you call it is up to you.
