Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Early Access is the best way to realize the full potential of Main Sequence, as it allows the game to evolve based on feedback from the community. Making the game available in Early Access means that players can help shape each update along the journey, which ultimately makes the game more balanced, engaging, and enjoyable.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The plan is for Early Access to last 1 to 2 years, with the most important factor being that the game is a complete and well-rounded experience when it leaves Early Access.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The full version of Main Sequence will have more things to build, more quality-of-life improvements, and lots of customization options including better mod support. There will be new factions, new modules for ships and stations, and new production lines to build. The world will also be expanded with more places to explore, things to discover, and people to meet.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The core mechanics and progression are fully playable, where you start as a humble miner and build up an interstellar logistics empire. You can design space ships and space stations, with lots of options for both functionality and decoration. You can trade with NPCs and fight alien enemies. And of course you can build massive factories, and automate everything in the game so far. There is currently around 40 hours of content, though fans of automation will hopefully find these systems deep enough to offer many more hours than that.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“Yes, the 1.0 price will be adjusted to reflect the game’s progress and expanded content.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“The creations that players share are awesome to see and play a big role in informing the development process. There are also direct channels for feedback built into the game, as well as ways to engage with the community on Steam and Discord where we are active. Gathering feedback and engaging with the community is at the core of Early Access so as new opportunities come up those will be explored as well.”

About This Game

You have been sent out to the frontier of human-charted space in a small mining ship, tasked with expanding humanity's footprint amongst the stars. In order to succeed, you will need to collect resources, automate production, expand your base of operations, and research new technologies.

You start out alone in a resource-rich asteroid belt. Explore your environment using your ship's scanners to find the resources you will need to start building. Start out with the basic mining tools available on your ship, and upgrade them as your progress. Unlock automated mining drones to feed a steady supply of resources to your growing factories.

There's too much work to do yourself. Build machines, connect them with conveyor belts, and plan out your production lines in order to make sure everything is running at maximum efficiency.

Use the designer to build and expand your ships and stations. Unlock new modules as you progress, or build freely in creative mode. Save your designs to use again later, or to share with friends.

Explore a procedurally-generated galaxy, filled with allies and enemies alike. Use the technology you unlock to explore the far reaches of space and discover unique stellar phenomena like black holes and neutron stars. Each new area brings new challenges and rewards as you leave your mark on the galaxy.

Your industrial activity has awakened an ancient alien defence system. Use your fleet of ships to protect your base, taking advantage of their mobility to respond to threats. Or, take the fight to the enemy and destroy their defence platforms and shipyards.

Use the items you produce to research new technology. Prioritize the research that matters most to your survival and unlock new ships, station modules, items, and buffs to help you expand your base.
