ORMOD: Directive
In ORMOD: Directive, players must rely on ingenuity to survive against machines, the elements, and other players, all within a deep and systems-driven world filled with mechanics to discover. Customize world difficulty, rules, and playstyle. Play solo, co-op, or on 24/7 MMO-style servers across PvP, PvE, Hardcore, or Creative modes as you build, automate, fight, and survive. The choice is yours.
- Infinite and Fully Customizable Worlds – Explore a completely endless world that is different every time you play, and procedurally generated towns, roads, buildings, and terrain that can be tailored to your preferred difficulty and playstyle.
- Play Your Way on Private or 24/7 Servers – Host your own survival sessions with friends or join persistent 24/7 community servers across multiple modes, including PvP, PvE, Hardcore, Creative, and assorted minigames.
- Physical and Persistent Item Simulation – Every item in the world exists physically and stays exactly where it is left. Loot shelves for your home base, steal items off other players, or stumble upon the aftermath of someone else's adventure.

- Deep Survival Gameplay – Manage hunger, sickness, temperature, injuries, farming, cooking, and medical conditions in an unforgiving world that constantly pushes back.
- Skills, Quests, and Trading – Level up your character, complete quests, trade with others, and interact in a dynamic item-driven economy.
- Dynamic World Events – Respond to helicopter crash sites, global PvP events, airdrops, and other world-changing encounters that create constant opportunities and risks.
- Vehicles With True-to-Life Handling – Repair and operate vehicles such as cars and helicopters, each with realistic driving and flight mechanics, including manual gears.
- A Constant Nighttime Threat – Survive against roaming mechanoids that emerge after dark and hunt players relentlessly, offering danger even when playing alone.
