About
About This Wiki
Beyond These Stars Wiki is an independent, fan-made resource for the space whale city builder from Balancing Monkey Games and Hooded Horse. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or operated by the developers or publisher, and every guide here is written in our own words from publicly available official material.
The site launched alongside the game's 1.0 release in October 2026, which means our coverage is early rather than exhaustive. Where the developers have not published specific values — happiness thresholds, power radii, strike ratios — we say so rather than inventing numbers, and we update pages as patches land. If you spot something that no longer matches the live build, the official Discord is the fastest way to tell us.
About the Game
Beyond These Stars is a city building and colony simulation game in which your Peeps settle on the back of Kewa, a sentient Space Whale crossing the galaxy. You plan districts around the contours of a living creature, terraform its surface to support production, settle outposts on distant planets, and manage a relationship with the whale itself — whose health and happiness feed into how your story unfolds.
What This Wiki Covers
Beginner Guides
Opening walkthroughs, research order and the mistakes that shrink your first habitat on Kewa.
Kewa Happiness
How the Space Whale's health and mood respond to your biome, your temperature and your conversations.
City Building
Adjacency bonuses, travel time, power coverage ranges and the layouts that keep Peeps content.
Production Chains
Tiered goods from raw materials to advanced products, plus the composting loop that closes the cycle.
Terraforming
Canals, top soil and forests — what expands your buildable land and what quietly takes it away.
Outposts & Galaxy
Scout and Trade Ships, settleable worlds and the Galaxy Map node types worth investigating.
