Platform support & installation

PC

Build required

Native Rust engine built from source

Requirements

Own Banished 1.0.7 Steam/GOG WinData files: data0.pkg, data1.pkg, patch0.pkg and patch1.pkg. Rust, Git and Visual Studio C++ build tools; DirectX 12-capable or other supported GPU backend.

Sources

No prebuilt desktop binaries. Steam Workshop browsing/uploads are not implemented; achievements are stored locally rather than in Steam.

Web

Hosted WebAssembly; WebGPU or WebGL 2

Requirements

Own Banished 1.0.7 Steam/GOG data0.pkg, data1.pkg, patch0.pkg and patch1.pkg selected locally. Modern WebGPU/WebGL 2 browser; maintainer tests Chrome and Firefox Nightly 160.

Sources

Browser saves, settings and mods use browser storage and are deleted if site data is cleared. No Steam Workshop browser/uploads. Earlier Firefox WebGL freezes/OOM were reported; v0.1.0 notes a fix, but device-specific stability is not independently confirmed. Exact hosted Play URL works without a trailing slash; slash variant returned 404.
