QuestsQuests give you interesting objectives and serve as a simple tutorial to introduce you to the game. There are more than several dozens of quests, so even if you are just starting out and don't have particular goals - this could offer you something interesting to try, or goals to pursue.
Character skillsAs you perform any meaningful activity in the game you will slowly unlock and advance skills in a particular field. Skills are separated into several categories (e.g. combat, industrial, personal, etc.) and offer you additional bonuses and abilities in a given field.
StorageEven a trivial thing, such as storing your item, is rather deep in CryoFall offering you many different options ranging from simple chests to fridges to store food and display shelves for your important items.
Character simulation & Medicine systemCryoFall features a complex character simulation system with several dozens of diverse character status effects. Some of them can be seen in the image below, however, there are many more.
Fortunately, a complex medical system offers ample opportunities to use different special items, either to heal your character or to receive special effects.
Land claim systemTo protect your base from raiders and griefers, you can use the land claim system which will protect the area around your base from other people being able to build or deconstruct anything. However, if you are playing on a PvP server, CryoFall still features a full loot system with possible raids by other players. If you would like to play in a more relaxed and creative setting, you can join one of the available PVE servers where combat and raiding are disabled, allowing you to focus on peaceful exploration and technology progression.

Coin mintingTo facilitate trade and economy, players are able to mint their own coins which can then be used for trading, either directly or with vending machines.

Factions and leaderboardsWhether it is PvE or PvP server you can create a faction to play with your friends or other players from the server and compete to reach the top of faction leaderboard.
DecorationsPlaying in PvE and want to decorate your base with many different things? You sure can!
Diverse arsenalWhile developing CryoFall we tried to give each piece of equipment as much difference as possible rather than just changing numeric values. The game also clearly shows you what you can expect from each item you find.
Industry
Technology progressionOne of the key features of CryoFall is its technology system. You can unlock new technology groups separated into 5 tiers: primitive, industrial, modern, post-modern, sci-fi. Each technology group holds a dozen or so recipes that you can also unlock, offering you tremendous depth to choose a particular area of expertise and work together with other players to achieve mutual goals.
CraftingCrafting is handled via recipe selection from a multitude of different crafting stations, allowing to separate recipes by a particular field (e.g. weapon crafting). This also makes choosing your technological progression (essentially a profession) more impactful.
ElectricityComplex electricity system with generators, such as a steam generator, solar farms, bioreactor, engine generator as well as energy storage and different consumers such as lights, refineries, fridges, electric furnaces, defensive structures, turrets and more.
High-techHigher levels of industrial development offer even more various technologies to be utilized on your base such as psionic-reactor (ala nuclear reactor of the future).
IndustryIndustrial development is one of the key features of CryoFall. You can research and employ a number of complex industrial processes.
