About This Game

You arrive at a barren asteroid with a mining laser, a gravity generator and an empty shop. Mine your first ore, put it on the shelf, and watch space travelers dock to buy it. As the shop grows, add racks and displays, hire robots to restock and run the checkout, and build production lines so your shelves carry ingots, alloys and finished goods instead of raw rock. When you're ready, claim a neighboring asteroid, or climb into your own ship and take to the stars.

Mine

Laser-mine asteroids for ores, crystals, and minerals. Survey rocks with a scanner, blast the tough ones with explosive charges, and unlock stronger lasers as your station levels up. Different asteroids yield different resources.

Produce

Refine raw materials through multi-tier production chains. Smelt ores into ingots, forge alloys, cook up chemicals, and manufacture advanced products across increasingly complex recipes.

Sell

Run your own space shops. Stock shelves, set up displays, and serve diverse space travelers, from traders and diplomats to smugglers and military personnel. Take cargo contracts at the Cargo Console for bigger payouts, or fulfill delivery requests at the Station Terminal to level up your station.

Automate

Build your robot crew. Buy specialized bots for mining, machine operation, shop service, and hauling. Each robot has fixed skills, needs to recharge, and wears down over time. Repair them at the right moment to keep your station running at full speed. Assign haulers at the Bot Console and let them move cargo between your pallets and machines.

Build

Construct your station room by room inside the gravity field. Place shops, factories, habitats, hangars, and landing pads. Step outside the bubble and you are in zero-G with a jetpack.

Expand

Progress along the Trade, Mining, and Production tracks and unlock new gear at the Station Terminal. Deploy a gravity generator on a dormant asteroid to found an outpost with its own identity. Build a hangar, assemble your own ship from modules, and fly the asteroid field.
