Who is Babe? Glossary of official names

People and crew

The Man is the player character; Ordinary Man in the English short description. Chicken is the immortal companion named in that short description and shown in official key art. Babe is named as an unanswered identity question. The spacesuit AI lives inside the suit according to the about-text. The Mechanic is trailer marketing for a customisable robot, listed on the crew page rather than as a glossary-only rumor.

If a name is only in a community walkthrough, it is not in this list. Gromov, Mary and other VGTimes headings stay off this URL because they lack first-party names. Searchers looking for Babe should find the Steam question, not a fan wiki’s invented biography.

Ordinary Man, immortal Chicken, Who is Babe? , AI living inside his spacesuit, foul-mouthed customisable robot: those are the crew glosses. Mechanic stays a trailer noun. Suit AI has no portrait in the sealed stills. Do not add VGTimes character headings; they are not first-party names. The Man is the player you steer; Chicken is the companion the short description tells you to look after; Babe is the open identity question the about-text actually asks. 2023 promised voices for Babe and crew, while live store audio is English and Russian only — keep those two facts in different tenses. If a later patch adds a named NPC with a Steam sentence, it can join this list; a walkthrough nickname cannot. The cabin still of Babe is bound to crew and home, not to this glossary URL, so the spelling lives here and the face lives there.

Places and factions

The Outskirts is the official RedRuins trailer and soundtrack title for the opening region. Depot is a one-minute clip title, Location: Depot, with no public map coordinates. Coffinbots are the army built by the Breathedge Corporation for a galaxy-wide war; the Man is their number-one target. Human settlements were attacked; fringe space is the survival setting.

Early Access is the current Steam release state as of 31 August 2026, not version 1. 0. Keep that word attached to dates and the 16–20 month window so it does not drift into a generic “beta” label.

The Outskirts, Depot, Breathedge Corporation, Coffinbots, human settlements, fringe inhabited space, Early Access. Depot has no coordinates. Corporation has local officialTerms in ja and ru. Early Access attached to 31 August 2026 is the release gloss, not a generic beta word.

Section places on /glossary/ stays bound to that first-party record and the media id listed for this route, with no invented extra stats.

Gear words

Duct tape is the recurring crafting joke/material; the about-text asks what to do with all this duct tape. Jackhammer is the Tools item on the Upgrades UI still, with charge, durability, extraction and level. Oxyworms are named in the Steam achievement Oxyworm Collector; VGTimes treats them as oxygen sources, which is community use.

Blueprints, repairs, scavenging and spacesuit upgrades are loop words on the oxygen and blueprints pages. They are not separate glossary myths. Use those pages for the loop; use this list when you need the spelling Steam actually printed.

Duct tape, Jackhammer, Oxyworms, blueprints, repairs, scavenging, spacesuit upgrades. Jackhammer is the only tool with UI fields. Oxyworms are an achievement collectable first. Community air-source use of that word lives on the oxygen disclosure, not in this spelling list. The Outskirts soundtrack thumbnail on this page is first-party naming evidence for the opening region, not a crafting diagram. Spell the Steam noun, then follow the blueprints or oxygen URL for the loop that noun sits in. Early Access as a glossary term is the 31 August 2026 Steam state, not a synonym for unfinished in the abstract. Spacesuit AI is a companion noun, not a vendor. Mechanic stays on the crew page because the trailer is marketing rather than a glossary-only rumor. If Steam prints another proper name with a store sentence, it earns a row; media-only nicknames do not.
