88 The Lost Compass
99  
1010 The Lost Compass is an original novella written by Ben Calvin Hary, a German science-fiction author who has been the lead writer of the PERRY RHODAN series since late 2024 and has written for game worlds before. It is sold as a standalone e-book add-on rather than as in-game reading material.

1212 The story follows Riley Skye, who is stranded on a remote world fragment after a devastating storm and has to survive, gather resources and rebuild an airship while searching for her missing father and an artefact called the Solis Compass. Her journey takes her across a sphere named Aerealis. The framing of storms, drifting islands and airship travel matches the game's setting, and the publisher describes it as carrying the same sense of hope and new beginnings that defines Solarpunk.

1414 Scope note: the novella is companion fiction published alongside the game. Riley Skye, the Solis Compass, Aerealis and the events of the story are not characters, items or locations that appear in the playable game, and none of them should be treated as in-game canon. The playable build has no named protagonist and no story quest of this kind. Where the book and the game differ, the game is what this wiki documents.

1818 The companion book is a guide-style volume rather than fiction. It walks through the game's core elements, covering mechanics, surviving in an unfamiliar world, exploring the islands, the airship, and the possibilities of base building. It is aimed at both new players and long-time followers of the project.

2020 Two things distinguish it from a plain manual. Each chapter is accompanied by a short story passage written by the author of The Lost Compass, and the book collects concept art produced during the game's development, showing how the world was designed. As with the novella, the story passages are companion fiction and are not in-game content.

2424 Neither add-on installs anything into the game. Both are downloaded as PDF files into the game's own installation folder on your computer, alongside the game files. On PC the folder can be opened from the store client by right-clicking the game in the library sidebar and browsing its local files. If the game was installed to a custom directory, the book files are there instead.

2626 Both books are currently available in English, German and French only, which is a narrower set than the fourteen languages the game itself supports at launch.
