Set in a lawless star system colonized by humans, Stars End casts you as a survivor carving out a place on its frontier. Play alone or host a server for others in a persistent sandbox.
Gather materials, hunt, fish, and manage food and water as you craft tools, weapons, and equipment. Build and improve bases, from simple shelters to larger outposts, and develop your capabilities over time.
Explore procedurally generated planets on foot, horseback, or by vehicle; fight wildlife, AI factions, or rival survivors; and travel into orbit and between worlds by starship. Find resources, trade, and establish bases on other planets.
Some reviewers enjoy the climb from primitive survival to space travel, especially the ongoing crafting and base-building, and praise the breadth of planetary exploration and the atmosphere or lore. These positive impressions sit alongside recurring complaints about bugs, rough controls, and the game's unfinished or unsupported state.
Stars End is a player-hosted/solo sci-fi survival sandbox set hundreds of years in the future, in a star system colonized by humans escaping a dying Earth. What was meant to be a second chance has become a lawless frontier — a place where every scrap, bullet, and building must be earned.
Out here, you’ll wrangle resources from dangerous planets, fend off alien wildlife (watch out for bears), and build your own base — be it a frontier shack or a fortified space station. Explore procedurally generated worlds on foot, horseback, or by starship, then blast into orbit and continue the fight in space.
Play solo or host your own server as you stake a claim in a persistent galaxy where survival is tough, but freedom is yours to take. Whether you're settling the land or raiding for loot, Stars End gives you the tools — and the grit — to shape your own path.
