MULTIPLAYER SPACE ENGINEERING
BUILT BY YOU.
FLOWN BY YOU.
The frame. The wiring. The code.
Every part of your ship has your name on it.
01 / HANDS-ON ENGINEERING
YOUR IDEAS.
ENGINEERED TO FLY.
A working spacecraft is more than a hull.
Build the structure. Connect its systems.
Give it a mind of its own.
ACTUAL GAME CAPTUREEVERY JOINT IS YOURS
Start with a beam.
End with a blueprint.
Build in first person or open the dedicated Ship Designer. Join beams, fit plates and mount your devices. Test your creation before you commit to constructing it.
- Weld beams and place individual bolts
- Angled structures, plating and glass
- Save, share and build from blueprints
# Hold altitude using ship telemetry
target_altitude = 100
error = target_altitude - altitude
lift = clamp(error * 2 - vertical_speed * 3, -4, 4)Your computer can read device attributes and flight telemetry. Write your own control logic, then watch it work through cockpit displays.
Physics is part of the design. Mass, centre of gravity and the position of your thrusters determine how your ship flies.
02 / THE LONG WAY UP
FROM RAW ORE
TO YOUR FIRST ORBIT.
Start with an empty backpack.
Build the machines that build your future.
ACTUAL GAME CAPTUREUse your scanner to locate deposits. Break off chunks, dig into the ground and bring your resources home. Your first haul is the start of your production line.
DESTINATION / THE MOON03 / A REASON TO LOOK UP
YOUR NEXT RESOURCE
COULD BE UP THERE.
A gray moon. Lower gravity. Ores your home planet doesn’t have. Build a ship that can take you there, then bring something back worth the journey.
04 / CHOOSE YOUR STARTING POINT
A WORLD TO EARN IT.
A YARD TO TRY IT.
Two ways into the same engineering.
Choose a realm in the launcher.
Gather resources, build a factory and manufacture the parts for your ship. Your constructions and progress belong to this persistent Survival realm.

An actively developed game with unfinished visuals, bugs and changing balance. Survival, building, device networks and programmable ships are available to test. Weapons are currently disabled. Read the launcher’s patch notes for updates.
