Pax Autocratica met une colonie en ruine et une navette à la première personne dans la même sauvegarde. Qui part ne produit plus à la base. Cette page dit ce qu’est le jeu, comment commencer, et quels systèmes gardent la colonie vivante.

4 Titanite, Command Center, Barracks, puis la première sortie vers Elysia. Ne terminez pas toute la base d’abord.
Transport, modes d’entrepôt, et une colonie qui tourne pendant que vous êtes dans l’espace.
Vos meilleurs combattants sont souvent les mauvaises personnes à emmener.
Capture Rounds, cellules, Indoctrination — pas un recrutement en un clic.
Unified Labor fixe la journée. Paid Time Off sert à une personne déjà épuisée.
The game
Pax Autocratica is Multiverse’s Steam hybrid, shipped on 10 August 2026. You repair a frontier base in first person, research buildings, then board a shuttle into the Tyris sectors. Combat is a shooter with roguelite cores that reset when you return. The settlement is not a menu you finish before the gunplay starts. Labor, hunger, fear, and who you leave behind decide whether the next expedition still has a colony to come home to.
The store pitch mixes colony management with FPS expeditions on one save. That loop is the product. Anyone assigned to the shuttle stops producing at home. Extra map nodes raise Enemy Strength. Capture Rounds are how you grow population, not leftover ammo you dump into random enemies.
The Pax Autocratica first hour is short. Land at Aurorian Frontier Base, collect four Titanite, repair the Command Center, research and build the Barracks, equip the gun that appears in your inventory, then leave for Elysia. Rebuilding every ruin first wastes the opening. You do not yet have the workforce for a pretty logistics chain, and the timer that matters is how fast you can board.
The first trip is not a clear-the-map mission. Bring back a little salvage, a feel for how hard normal enemies hit, and captives only if you already have Capture Rounds and the fight is still under control. Core Fragments power the current run and reset on return. After that, build the gap the trip proved: a Prison if you have captives, transport if you are tired of hauling, Victory Square if people are Overworked.
Three expedition counters fight each other. Expedition Progress fills the sector toward a Decisive Battle. Enemy Strength climbs as you take optional nodes. Return to Base banks people and resources, then wipes the current cores and sector progress. Elysia is not secure until the sector overlord falls. A Decisive Battle is a checkpoint, not the ending.
At home, Unified Labor in Victory Square sets the workday for the whole colony. Paid Time Off is a patch for one exhausted soldier, not a default schedule. Prison cells and indoctrination turn captives into population. Your best fighters are often the wrong people to put on the shuttle, because production dies when they leave.
Use this page
Follow this before you rebuild the ruins. It is the same first-hour route the Pax Autocratica beginner guide expands, written here so the landing page answers the search.
Get 4 Titanite at Aurorian Frontier Base. Mine them or pick them up yourself. Skip a logistics chain for those four rocks.
Repair the Command Center. Building research stays locked until it is up.
Research Barracks as the first blueprint, then build it. That building puts a weapon in your inventory and opens the shuttle.
Open the bag and equip the gun. The shuttle sits near the Command Center.
Take a companion only if combat is scary and the base can spare the labor. Named starters differ across player videos; skip stalling the launch for a perfect roster.
Make a short Elysia trip, then come home and build what that trip proved you lacked.
Logique de run
Ce n’est pas un city-builder fini puis un FPS. Qui part au combat n’occupe plus son poste. Chaque détour monte Enemy Strength. Les Capture Rounds sont de la population, pas des munitions en trop.

Premier plan. Met une arme dans l’inventaire et ouvre la navette.
Un captif ne rejoint pas tant qu’une cellule n’est pas libre et que sa volonté n’a pas baissé.
Les horaires de toute la colonie sont ici, pas dans l’écran d’assignation normal.
Puissance de l’expédition en cours. Reset au retour. Les Core Seeds élargissent le pool plus tard.
Contre-mesures
La première expédition indique quoi construire ensuite.
Gardez les Capture Rounds pour combler un vrai manque.
Postes pourvus mais Overworked : Victory Square. Bâtiments vides : manque de bras.
Feuille de route
Steam espère le co-op pendant l’Early Access. Un post forum disait après l’EA. Pas de date ni de nombre de joueurs.
Le délai peut changer. Le prix devrait augmenter à la 1.0.
Expédition
Mène aux Decisive Battles. Ce n’est pas un ordre de ne jamais rentrer.
Monte avec l’exploration. Les nœuds optionnels taxent le combat final.
Sécurise captifs et ressources. Fragments et progression du secteur reset.
Elysia n’est pas sécurisée tant que MEC-KONG 7X n’est pas à terre.

Colony
Pax Autocratica base layout is haul routes and warehouse modes, not a spider-web city plan. Multi-story orders are not published.

Soldiers
Pax Autocratica citizens vs army: anyone on the shuttle stops working at home. Pick the pair, not the highest DPS name.

Labor
Pax Autocratica Victory Square is where Unified Labor sets the workday. Paid Time Off is a one-person patch, not the default schedule.

Prisoners
Pax Autocratica troop training prisoners: Capture Rounds, Prison cells, then conversion. Captives are not a one-click recruit button.
