Grab your jetpack and explore procedural asteroid fields, derelict spaceships and abandoned outposts. Build your Space Rig to process scavenged trash. Craft, trade and fight your way home in this interstellar, open-world survival sandbox.
The game allows players to build their "Space Rig" in any direction, leveraging the fact that each block has its own gravity. This enables the construction of multi-layered, complex structures where players can walk on the ceiling, sides, or any surface they've built. Mastering this unique gravity system presents an interesting spatial awareness and navigation challenge, as players must constantly orient themselves and consider the flow of resources and materials through their base.
Players use a grappling gun to pull in floating debris, wreckage from derelict ships, and resources from asteroids. The procedurally generated space environment offers a varied array of scavengeable items, from basic ores to advanced components. Efficient resource management is key, as players must thoughtfully transport and process these raw materials through their crafting systems.
The crafting system allows players to create a wide range of items, from basic tools and equipment to more complex machinery and ship upgrades. The modular design enables players to set up automated production lines and conveyor belt systems, appealing to those who enjoy optimizing their production flows and maximizing efficiency.
While not the primary focus, the game incorporates light survival elements, requiring players to manage their character's hunger, sleep, and oxygen levels. Building and expanding the mobile "Space Rig" base is crucial, as it provides the necessary life support systems, processing facilities, and defensive capabilities to withstand threats from alien bots. Players can customize and optimize the layout and functionality of their rig.
The game's procedurally generated space sectors encourage exploration and discovery. Players can venture out from their base to investigate abandoned outposts, derelict ships, and asteroid fields, risking encounters with hostile alien bots. These combat situations add an element of tension and challenge, requiring players to utilize their weapons and defensive systems.
