Mankind turned Earth into a dry wasteland and perished, but some species adapted and evolved. Pick one of the beaver factions and see how long your colony can last.

What you need to run it
The minimum specification calls for 4-core 1.7 GHz or better, 8 GB RAM and GeForce GTX 950, Radeon R9 380 or similar. An 8GB memory requirement is modest by current standards; most machines sold in the last five years clear it. Install size is roughly 3GB.
