Planet Crafter

Resources and survival

You terraform a hostile planet by gathering resources, building bases and machines, and watching a barren wasteland slowly gain atmosphere, water and life. The blend of calm survival and visible, large-scale progress is what makes it special.

Astroneer

Open world

As an astronaut you explore colorful planets, reshape terrain like clay with your terrain tool, and build bases with automated production chains. A relaxed mix of discovery, gathering and tinkering, solo or in co-op.

Reassembly

Open world

You design modular spaceships from geometric parts, gather resources and fight real-time battles across a procedural galaxy. Creative ship building in a sandbox setting is the heart of the experience.

Space Engineers

A physics-driven space sandbox where you engineer ships, stations and rovers block by block, mine asteroids and watch your creations get realistically torn apart. Its huge creative and technical freedom shines brightest with friends in co-op.

Empyrion: Galactic Survival

Resources and survival

A space sandbox survival game where you build your own ships, stations and planetary bases while exploring planets and deep space. Gathering resources, defending your bases and playing solo or with friends are at the core.

Deep systems to master

Stranded on an alien world, you grow a crude mining operation into a sprawling automated factory, endlessly optimizing belts, production chains and logistics. All the while you must defend it from native creatures angered by your spreading pollution.

Oxygen Not Included

A deep colony sim inside an asteroid where you keep your Duplicants alive by managing oxygen, heat, food and waste through interlocking physics-like systems. Spectacular failures are part of the fun, often with dark humor.

TerraTech

Open world

You assemble custom vehicles from blocks to mine resources, build bases and fight your way across a procedurally generated planet. The appeal lies in creative tinkering and testing your own contraptions.
