  • Sandbox
  • Building
  • Sci-fi

A space-engineering sandbox: you design ships, stations and bases block by block, with physics that deforms and breaks whatever collides. In survival you mine, refine and manage power; in creative, resources never run out.

Why play it now

When you've got a long afternoon ahead and fancy dreaming up a ship, building it piece by piece and seeing if it works.

Who it's for

For anyone who enjoys engineering and learns by trial and error, on their own or with friends online.

When not to pick it

If you want your hand held: there's no end goal and learning to play takes a lot of effort.
