In Stationeers, you build and manage a station alone or with friends on a planet or other harsh environment. Your first challenge is creating a habitat and life-support systems that keep you alive.
Gather resources by mining, then process ore into materials and equipment for construction and manufacturing. You can also grow crops, manage water, and expand your station’s infrastructure.
The station depends on interconnected systems for gas, pressure, temperature, electricity, and production. Build pipe and cable networks, use logic circuits or programmable chips to automate tasks, and adapt your designs to environmental and resource pressures.
Players who enjoy technical problem-solving often praise how gas, temperature, power, manufacturing, and agriculture interact, and how much freedom they have to design their own solutions. Many find experimenting, automating tasks, and eventually getting a complicated system to work especially satisfying. Reviews also frequently describe a steep learning curve and an interface or construction workflow that can make those systems harder to learn and use.
Stationeers puts you in control of the construction and management of a space station to run by yourself in single player, or online multiplayer with your friends. Complex atmospheric, electrical, manufacturing, medical, agriculture, and gravitational systems require your thought and management at all times!
Stationeers is designed for hardcore players who want a game that is systems oriented. Full utilization and optimization of these complex systems will only come from great knowledge and practice. The game presents a variety of science-based survival problems that you must address. Resource and time pressures will drive your initial designs, but the demands of a thriving station will guide you later.
Construction system rewards well-designed architectural, atmospheric, and electrical plans.
Atmospherics system for temperature, pressure, combustion, gas mixtures, water, and fire.
Physics on dynamic items in the world such as wall fatigue and explosive decompression.
Dangerous environments to explore & develop including exotic planets, and asteroid belts.
Deformable voxel terrain on worlds and asteroids that enhances mining and exploration.
Construct complex factories using machines, conveyors, and computers.
Ubiquitous logic system to automate every aspect of your base.
Write programs using Integrated circuits & assembly code to automate your systems.
Farm livestock and grow plants as a integral part of the station’s ecosystem.
Many aspects of the game offer full modding support via the Steam Workshop.
Designed from the ground up for multithreading to improve performance + scalability.
Space is empty and the planets are unforgiving to human life. You and your friends initially must decide how to meet your basic needs. Longer term, you will need to engineer solutions to power, heat, resource, and atmospheric problems. Build the most efficient systems you can by utilizing machines and programmable computers to develop automated systems.
Whether on a distant lonely planet, or deep inside an asteroid field, you control every aspect of building & running your station. Harvest nearby resources and use a wide range of tools to construct the ultimate station. Everything your station requires will be built and managed by you and your friends.
What do you do with all that ore you mine? Process it through machines and turn it into goods for more construction of course! There are lots of specialist machines to build and configure such as smelters, sorters, centrifuges, stackers, conveyors, fabricators and more.
Our robust, thriving community has been sharing their creations with us through the Stationeers Steam Workshop since 2017. Join us and build the future of tomorrow... today!
