Kolga

Kolga — Ironman Survival

Kolga is a fictional moon of Ægir (Epsilon Eridani b), a gas giant orbiting the star Ran in the Epsilon Eridani system, approximately 10.5 light-years from Earth.

Kolga is an engineering challenge, not an easy base-building world. It is designed for players who want to engineer their way out of a deliberately constrained landing. Survival and progress may require equipment and processes you have never needed in an ordinary Stationeers run.

Kolga is intended for an ironman run: respawning provides no survival suit, and robots respawn without power.

Supported Difficulty

Kolga is tuned and supported for Normal difficulty only. The limited starting resources and progression timings were balanced around Normal consumption rates. Stationeer difficulty may be unattainable and is not considered a supported Kolga ruleset.

Environment

• 10% Earth gravity
• A thin, pure Pollutant atmosphere at approximately 4 kPa
• Exterior temperature cycles from approximately 65 °C by day to 35 °C by night
• Pollutant windstorms approximately every 3–5 days
• Storm temperature falls toward 0 °C
• Storms bring damaging winds, reduced visibility, reduced movement speed, and weaker sunlight
• 20-minute solar transit with low solar intensity

Resource Rules

• No ice anywhere, including deep mining
• No coal anywhere, including deep mining
• Cobalt cannot be hand-mined and is available only through deep mining
• For the intended no-trader ruleset, enable the optional companion mod Disable Traders
• All plant seed types are supplied so the world remains self-sufficient without traders

Starting Supplies

Landing crate

• Construction and power box: 20 iron frames, 40 iron sheets, active vent, grow light, water bottle, area power controller, and two full large batteries
• Production package
• Cereal bar box
• Water bottle package
• Insulated liquid canister containing 12 L of water
• Two large seed boxes containing three packs of every available plant seed

Stationeer equipment

• EVA suit and helmet with a full large suit battery
• Hard backpack
• Two additional breathing-gas canisters appropriate to the selected species
• Toolbelt with essential construction tools and a pickaxe
• Mining drill with a full large battery
• No tablet, cartridges, angle grinder, portable solar panel, duct tape, medical injector, mining belt, or credit card

Ironman Rules

Human and Zrilian respawns receive only a jumpsuit. Robot respawns receive no battery. Kolga is designed around the idea that death ends the expedition—start over, learn from the failure, and engineer a better attempt.

Feedback

Kolga is being released for playtesting and balance feedback. Please report whether early progression is viable, whether the starting supplies feel fair, and whether the storms and resource restrictions create interesting engineering decisions rather than simple dead ends.
