You are a space scavenger working for a waste-disposal company, stranded far from home among debris left by an ancient war. Your task is to collect and process that wreckage as you work toward traveling back.
Use a jetpack to visit procedurally generated asteroid fields, abandoned outposts, and derelict ships. Gather scrap, ore, and technology, then use fuel and a warp drive to reach new sectors.
Build a mobile Space Rig with artificial gravity, power, farming, storage, manufacturing, and defenses. Craft supplies and equipment, sell processed goods for credits, and connect machines with conveyors and splitters to automate production as alien bots threaten your growing operation.
Players who enjoy the game often describe it as a relaxing scavenging and building loop: gathering space junk, growing a customizable rig, and experimenting with automated production can keep them happily occupied. Some also appreciate its cozy atmosphere and low-pressure pace. Other reviewers find the same activities repetitive or grindy, and several criticize the limited exploration, crafting workload, or sense that the game is unfinished.
In the 31st century, Space Trash Scavengers roam the cosmos, risking their lives for riches amongst the debris of an ancient war.
Build your Space Rig–a 3D raft with artificial gravity, power, trash processing, farming and defense. Craft the everyday food, fuel, weapons, ammo and space suit upgrades you’ll need to survive out here in the vastness of the cosmos. Automate your factory, using conveyor pads to deliver ingredients between your machines.
In space there is no up or down! Expand your base in any direction for the most efficient layout. Once you are equipped with the necessary fuel and a warp drive, you’ll be free to explore other sectors and continue your mission.
Circumnavigate tiny asteroids, fly between abandoned outposts, and board derelict spaceships as they orbit the system. Take caution, however, and remember to keep your jetpack fuel topped up–you’ll need it to get back to your Space Rig safe and sound!
Each salvage zone is a procedurally generated, dynamic, and ever-changing open world.
You are an employee for the galaxy’s number one waste disposal firm, stranded far away from home with a mission to clean the galaxy from the remains of a galactic war. Space trash is your main resource. Whether it is salvaged debris floating in space, advanced and rare tech from wrecked ships, or scavenged goods from asteroid surfaces, you’ll want to snatch it all up!
Recycle and refine it to produce valuable goods that will net a tidy sum on the Trash Exchange, and spend it to upgrade your kit. Use conveyor pads, splitters and more to automate as much or as little of the process as you want.
You’re not alone amid the wreckage. Alien bots patrol most sectors of space nowadays and they’ll be drawn to you as your operation expands.
You’ll need a steady aim, impeccable defenses, and an upgraded armory to protect your Space Rig from the dangers of these foes. Survival depends on your ability to defend yourself!
