Spore

Sandbox with your own goals

Spore lets you guide your own species from a single cell to a galaxy-spanning empire, with each stage playing like a different genre. Its playful creature editor, letting you design nearly everything yourself, is the real star.

Satisfactory

Building and crafting

As a FICSIT Pioneer you build sprawling automated factories in first person on an alien planet. Designing efficient production chains in a beautiful open world, solo or in co-op, is deeply satisfying.

Simple Rockets

Sandbox with your own goals

A simplified 2D rocket-building sandbox in the spirit of Kerbal Space Program, where you design your own rockets and explore space using realistic orbital mechanics.

Juno: New Origins

Sandbox with your own goals

A sandbox simulator where you build rockets, planes and vehicles from customizable parts, automate them with visual programming, and explore or create your own planets.

Autonauts

Sandbox with your own goals

You colonise an alien planet by teaching little robots, through simple visual scripting, to gather resources and run whole production chains. The relaxed tinkering and optimising slowly grows into a sprawling robot empire.

Oxygen Not Included

Deep systems to master

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.

Astroneer

Building and crafting

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.

The Spatials

Sci-fi setting

You build and run a space station, designing rooms, keeping your crew and visitors happy, and exploring randomly generated star systems. Missions and real-time fights add variety to the management.
