MINEENGINEER / A SPACE BUILDING & SURVIVAL GAMEA mining ship, a moving factory, a home in orbit.
Start with individual blocks. Make them work together.
GAMEPLAY / PLAYER-BUILT SHIP
Propulsion, production, power, life support and the parts that connect them.
Browse specifications and materials ↗
Link machines with conveyors. Supply them with power. Make the components for a bigger idea.
Browse the current block families, from a single armor plate to a programmable station. Select a block to see what it does and what it needs.
One human design per family. Size variants have their own entries; color, shape and type options are marked with tags. Data reflects the current development build and may differ from the public demo.
Your suit needs oxygen and electricity. Your jetpack needs fuel. Build a ship that can replenish your supplies, and leave a reserve for the return trip.
Generate power, store it in batteries, and check the demand when your machinery starts.
Pistons and rotators give a design moving parts. Docking ports connect separate ships and let them share supplies.
Build around the job: a folding array, a mining arm, or a carrier for a smaller craft.
Connect nodes to check conditions, remember values and trigger actions. Start with one command, then add a sequence when a machine needs several steps.
Travel through space, mine asteroids and land on procedurally generated planets. Search the surface and underground for materials your next build needs.
Marked danger zones can lead to much larger enemies. Decide what you can afford to risk.
Gather resources, manage your supplies and protect what you build. Losing a ship can also mean losing its workshop and cargo.
Experiment with shapes and machines, test a design, and save useful builds as blueprints.
Co-op, PvE and PvP are part of the game's direction. Check Steam announcements for availability in each build.
Public gameplay captures. Some show earlier artwork than the current development build.
