In her article on MMORPG.com, Christina Gonzalez explores the exciting new Homesteading feature coming to Stars Reach, Playable Worlds’ ambitious MMO. Christina highlights how Homesteads empower players to claim land—or even space—as their own, enabling them to build everything from farms and homes to starports or smuggling bases carved into asteroids. According to Dave Georgeson’s devblog, this system is designed for freedom and creativity, encouraging players to tailor their builds to their playstyle while using specialized tools and skills, like mineralogy for terraforming or engineering for constructing defenses.
Collaboration also plays a big role, with features like cooperative building and resource gifting fostering interdependence among players. The system supports multiple homesteads, giving players the option to claim plots across the galaxy and even relocate their builds later if they wish. With these features, Stars Reach is shaping up to be a sandbox MMO that truly lets players leave their mark on its universe.
