Introduction: Welcome to Project Rebearth

Welcome to Project Rebearth, a unique massively multiplayer online strategy and world-building game that launched on January 30, 2026. Set a thousand years in the future, after an unknown event wiped out civilization, players emerge to the surface of a 1:1 replica of planet Earth to collaboratively rebuild society. This guide will provide you with the essential information to begin your journey in this post-apocalyptic utopia.

Game Overview: The World and Your Role

Project Rebearth invites players to grow their towns, trade with others, face challenges, and discover the rich history of a seemingly empty planet. The game is a city-building and grand strategy experience with elements of exploration, resource management, and trading. Unlike typical games, Project Rebearth is designed as a relaxed, long-term experience where the world remains persistent even when you're offline; your production chains continue to function. The core idea is fostering positive cooperation and exploration among players.

Getting Started: Your First Settlement

Your adventure begins by choosing any spot on the full-scale, 1:1 replica of Earth to establish your settlement. You can decide whether to start in deserts, polar regions, or temperate forests, with each real-world location offering distinct building materials, natural resources, and specialized production chains.

To begin, you will need to place your main town center building. This action typically unlocks a variety of other initial buildings. In an earlier version of the game, players started with resources such as 1,000 stone, 1,000 earth/clay, 1,000 wood, 1,000 food, 100 coins, and potentially 10 gems, though the game's balancing has undergone significant changes since then.

Building Your Town: Structures and Production Chains

Building is a central mechanic in Project Rebearth, allowing you to create a thriving society. The game features various building types, some with variable sizes whose costs and production output depend on the dimensions you choose. You can select different building themes, such as wood or stone, which influence the aesthetics and potentially the resource requirements of your structures.

Key production chains mentioned in early gameplay include:

As your city grows, you will unlock new features and gameplay mechanics. The building menu provides detailed information on costs and functions, and live pop-ups can show current stats for variable-sized buildings as you place them. It is possible to expand your initial build area as your town develops.

Resources and Trade: Sustaining Your Society

Resource management is vital for your settlement's success. You will gather materials and manage your inventory to keep your inhabitants content and your town flourishing. Since not all resources are available everywhere on the 1:1 scale Earth, global trade with other players becomes essential. You will need to build connections with other players and participate in a living marketplace to acquire resources you cannot produce locally.

Exploration and Discovery: Unraveling the Past

Beyond building and trade, Project Rebearth encourages exploration. You can launch expeditions to search for ancient artifacts and discover lost knowledge to expand your capabilities and unlock new possibilities. These artifacts are described as
