Planet Explorers Refund Policy
Planet Explorers is available for pre-purchase as an alpha product, incomplete and with bugs, with the aim of a bug free final build working on most machines. You are buying the final build, with the perk of playing the alpha and the beta. We do not promise that the alpha or beta builds will be bug free or will work on all machines.
Before making your purchase, you may try our free alpha build on the download page (a0.72 demo) to evaluate the game. You may also contact us at admin@pathea.net with any questions.
After purchasing Planet Explorers, you’ll receive a game key. As long as the key is not activated, you can request a full refund up to 30 days after purchase from admin@pathea.net. Once the key is activated, you have 3 days (72 hours) to request a refund for the game due to performance issues only. Beyond the above time limitations, no refund will be issued. If you claim the corresponding Steam key, you will forfeit you right to a refund.
By placing a preorder for Planet Explorers, you are assumed to have read this refund policy, and have agreed with and fully accepted its terms. The policy only applies to the preorder on this page.
Is it possible to upgrade my $15 backer package to be able to play multiplayer?
Seems a bit harsh to “punish” people who backed you this way but whatever guess i will have to throw more money at you.
Yo! When will Steam users, be able to purchase this Alpha (Or any future versions)?
When we’re confident the game will be well received by most Steam players. (beta). So a few more months to half a year.
are there more payment methods other than paypal planned?
would love to preorder the game, but sadly paypal isn’t an option for me.
We’ll put the game on Steam Early Access once we hit or are close to beta in a few more months.
What a shame we cant buy over steam yet.. i liked the 0.53a, and was hoping for an update for a long time, now just to see that i have to use paypal to buy it.
Not gonna use paypal, and waiting “a few months” is something i´ve heard before, suddently it´s ½ year gone, and still nothing has happend…
i just bought it i thought it would send me a download but its shipping it? also where can i get a alpha already out? everytime i try to download a old one it wont let me download it
sorry that was my bad i got it
yay awesome! 🙂
thx for your reply
it is my understanding that you can you a credit/debit card through paypal without a paypal account.
Sir, your grammar skills need a lot of work.

I wonder why when I start the game it goes blackscreen, then brings me back to desktop… and asks me to buy it. I used to play it at the very start of the alpha, and now it wants me to buy it, why…
It wasn’t going to stay free forever, you know. It does cost a lot of money to make a game.
Is it possible to buy it for my friend? As the only option is paypal checkout, and even if I send the key , he can only use my email address for activation, any option to pucrhase for him dircetly to his email?
Not at the moment, we’re still looking at ways for people to gift while using another email.
Hey when i spawn in a0.53 I’m in the watre farn away from the island help me!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That’s a bug that has been fixed in a0.6.
Learn to spell and use grammar please. Grammar really helps other viewers and readers understand what you are asking.

You’d have to be rather low in your brain cell count, my good man, to be unable to understand even badly written English. For some it’s not a first language, especially considering the internet is a world wide deal. Get off your high horse, and have some consideration for those who haven’t mastered one of the hardest languages to learn on the entire planet.

Why activition key is not come on email address ??? Im check spam everyday. How long wait for key?
Use this: http://76.76.13.107/~ppu/activation/public/resend_keys.html
I’m having the same problem. I have paid for 2 codes and I’ve had no messages sent to me from patheagames at all… help?
Check your spam, use the resend link, or email admin@pathea.net
I do not see a reason not to pay for the game I have seen a lot of youtube videos on it and it looks good I am going to try some of the 5.3 to see how the play is and if I can make it work for me I just want to know WHY steam sorry I do not like steam never did and never will as for the $21 that kind of hit me between the eyes way 21 and not 20 or 25 a even # lol over all what I have seen it looks like a good game and when it can stand on it own legs I will buy it so I hope it will not be to long :>
when I play a0.53 I have problems with the build. either it doesn’t generate the world or when it does I spawn in the air, die, and then have to reload it just to spawn and die again. any suggestions?
Try the story mode, a0.53 adventure has bugs.
I played story mode and I’ve encountered a bug in the questgiving. When speaking with the first quest mob, my game’s dialogue functions freeze before I actually get the quest and make it impossible to complete anything but running around. I know it’s been fixed in later versions, but I was curious if you were aware of that.
Hmm, the dialogue is still there, just click on the area where the dialogue arrow is and it should clear it. But yeah, we’ll have a new demo soon.
i found this game somehow by looking for games like wurm online, actually found it in a other game’s forums and im like O.O when i can i’ll be purchasing it for preorder. the game looks very beautiful. Its possibly gonna be my top favorite :D.
Also Is the character custimization indepth?
The character customization isn’t final yet, but we’ll try to add in as many option as possible for the final version.
Hello =)
When I buy the game 2 times with my paypal account, can my friend and me play together in multiplayer?
Thanks!
Yes, should be ok. If not, just contact us. 🙂
Hi just wondering if this will work on windows 8, i use 8 and when i try to run it the games goes to a blank screen then goes off back to windows mode and nothing happens.
Which version are you running? And you should post this on the boards as a bug, people will help you there.
64bit version
Can I still pay you $15 and get the single player alpha version + full version when it comes out?
It’s $21 to preorder the game. You get into the alpha now and get the final game (Steam Key) when it comes out.
I’m having trouble getting my activation key.
I have purchased the game but the key won’t appear in my inbox, and I have selected the re-send activation key option a couple of times
Nevermind, they were filtered to the Junk Mail part of my e-mail.
If anyone else has this problem check there

Please post your game output log and version on our boards, someone will help you there.
Eh… I was going to pick this up, ’cause it looked interesting… but honestly, it’s not interesting enough for me to pay $21 on a preorder with access to buggy beta gameplay… :\
If the price drops, then maybe, but until then, I’ll pass. $21 seems better as a release price, and i’m assuming that the release price will be no where NEAR that amount… probably closer to $40, am I right?
There’s over 30 hours of gameplay already. The release price will be much lower than $40.
why cant i activate my cdkey? Says ” can not connect to activation server”
Email admin@pathea.net about it.

I bought Planet Explorers for the $21. I unzipped and ran and installed it but it simple won’t run. I would love to be able to play this awesome looking game and not have to wait until it actually comes out on Steam. $21 isn’t much to whine over but I would like to be able to at least play a game I dropped money for. Any help would be appreciated. I have looked at forums and tried to figure it out but it still won’t run no matter what I do. :'(
Please post this on our bugs board, people can help you there.

I just wanna say y’all are doing amazing with this game.I have been watching TheCrankyOldGamer on youtube, and the game is solid and has promise. wish i would’ve caught the kick starter. Will buy soon.
I tried to use a Credit card to purchase the $21 alpha/beta and it saying it can’t be used. Its a valid card, any idea why? Can’t use paypal.
No idea, you’ll need to ask Paypal. We do plan to release on Steam in a few months though, so you can wait for that. 🙂
Hi I was wondering if it would be possible to get a refund on my original purchase through paypal during the extended kickstarter
Contact admin@pathea.net about it.
Very good value @$21 for alpha. Lots of playable bits and can see the direction you guys are going. Outstanding sandbox potential, So much better than starforge, Keep up the great work. Looking forward to fewer object not found crashes.
Hello. I paid for the pre-alpha last weekend and never received a key. I can provide proof of purchase. Maybe there is some kind of technical difficulty? Is there something else I need to do? Please get in contact with me so we can resolve this.
Deepest apologies. Gmail threw the activation info in the spam box. Thanks for making such a great game!
I just bought this and received my product key. where do i get the download for the game? the pc direct download link you provide here on the website dosent work :p and im not getting a torrent program to get the torrent version 🙁 please mail me a working link! im really exited to play this!
