One Grav Beam. Total physics.
Your Grav Beam is your tool, crane, weapon and problem-solver. It bends objects with real physics — lift a crate, hurl a rock, or pin a teammate (carefully). Base building in GRAVHOUNDS is about managing a chaotic physical space, not a tidy grid.
Build, then defend
You gather resources and raise a base, but physics-driven mayhem means structures can topple and debris flies. Holding the base against alien waves is the core tension.
Stay-time threat curve
The signature loop: the longer you stay on a planet, the greater the danger — and the greater the rewards. Pushing for one more haul trades safety for loot. The tools page models this tradeoff.
Extraction & loot
Extract with everything you can carry. What you bank is what survives the run; what you leave is gone. Looter-shooter pacing meets tower-defense defense.
Alien threats
Hostile alien life hunts the crew. Behavior and counters are verified at launch (Early Access build).
