SimplePlanes

Gameplay comes before story

A sandbox aircraft-building game where you assemble planes from individual parts and immediately test them in the cockpit with believable physics. A huge community library lets you simply download and fly other people's creations.

Kerbal Space Program

Sandbox with your own goals

You assemble rockets and spacecraft from parts and send the endearing Kerbals to moons and planets under realistic orbital physics. Failure is part of the fun and often as entertaining as success.

Dyson Sphere Program

Deep systems to master

A space factory-automation game where you build production chains across multiple planets and ultimately wrap a star in a Dyson sphere. The appeal lies in optimizing sprawling logistics networks on a galactic scale.

Kerbal Space Program 2

Sandbox with your own goals

You build rockets and spacecraft out of parts for the little green Kerbals and try to reach other planets and moons, learning orbital physics through trial and error. The early-access sequel aimed at colonies and interstellar travel but was left unfinished after the studio was shut down.

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.

Universe Sandbox

Sci-fi setting

A space sandbox where you create, alter and destroy planets, stars and entire galaxies with realistic gravity, collisions and climate simulation. It is about free experimentation and wonder rather than goals or story.

Chrs 143

Sandbox with your own goals

A 2D sandbox puzzle game built on a detailed physics simulation of fluids, heat and reactions, where you build machines, vehicles and automation. The goal is to pierce the fog and defeat Chrs.

Shapez

Puzzles and brain teasers

You build factories on an infinite map that automatically cut, rotate, paint and stack geometric shapes. It rewards clever layout design and optimization, with no combat or time pressure.
