You set out to survive and explore a galaxy of planets, moons, and star systems. Gather resources, manage needs such as food and oxygen, and contend with alien wildlife and hostile factions as you establish yourself.
Mine deposits by digging into voxel terrain, then craft equipment, vehicles, bases, and spacecraft from building blocks. Design vessels and settlements piece by piece, reshape ground for construction, or use blueprints to bring in and customize existing designs.
Explore planetary surfaces and travel between star systems as you develop new technology through activities and a tech tree. Play solo or with others, build in survival or creative modes, and choose how much to engage with combat, trade, and faction encounters.
The supplied reviews express sharply divided views. Players who enjoy the game often praise designing their own ships and bases, shaping a personal route through exploration and survival, and having room to set their own goals. Some describe returning for long building-focused playthroughs, while others point to Workshop scenarios such as Reforged Eden 2 for added content. Common criticisms include bugs and rough edges, frustrating combat, a difficult interface, performance problems, and a lack of satisfying late-game content.
