Rust + Bevy / In development

Build on the Moon.
Prove it in code.

A small lunar RTS with a bigger engineering mission: build dependable agent-development tooling, and prove it against a real game.

Native desktop prototype. Not a browser game or finished release.

The game

Small outpost. Real consequences.

Connect Solar to a Processor, move regolith through the Material chain, and recover when the power goes down. These are implemented scenarios, not a promise of a finished combat RTS.

01 / EXPERIMENT

Economy Sandbox

Select your Constructor, build Power Relays and gather regolith. Connect the network and process 30 new Material, then keep playing.

02 / LEARN

First Outpost

A guided economy lesson that reads the real simulation. Learn construction, gathering and Power without hidden resource grants or scripted shortcuts.

03 / RECOVER

Power Outage Recovery

A cable fails. The battery will not last forever. Build a bypass, restore production and reach 60 new Material.

Any-angle navigation Queued Move orders Relay construction Local save / resume Camera pan + zoom

Still ahead: combat, enemy AI, general base building and a full campaign. The artwork depicts the wider vision, not additional playable units.

The engineering mission

Evidence before
“done”.

The primary engineering priority is reusable, dependable agent tooling. Mooncraft provides meaningful implementation work, real failure modes and a codebase worth keeping maintainable.

Determinism is the foundation. The simulation runs at 20 Hz with validated commands, ordered events, replay verification and canonical state checksums. Presentation observes the simulation; it does not own the truth.

Rust Bevy Deterministic simulation Versioned replays

01 / Make ownership explicit moonctl tracks work selection, claims, source identity and decision authority. An agent gets a bounded task, not permission to change everything.
02 / Validate the actual change Fresh validation and independent review are gates to delivery. Proposed capability, fixture evidence and real-world outcomes are kept distinct.
03 / Keep supervision bounded moond provides opt-in local supervision with finite work limits. It is not an unattended production service or blanket autonomous-delivery certification.

Get started

From checkout to lunar surface.

The game source is currently private; repository access is required. This public website contains only the project overview and branding.

Build the desktop prototype

Install Rust and your platform's linker prerequisites, then use a Bevy-compatible GPU and driver. The game needs Rust 1.95+; these commands select the development toolchain without changing your default.

git clone https://github.com/monk-eee/Mooncraft.git
cd Mooncraft
rustup toolchain install 1.97.0 --profile minimal
cargo +1.97.0 run -p mooncraft-game --locked

Windows is the current graphical development environment. Linux and Apple Silicon macOS are approved targets; native qualification and distributable packages are pending.
