What is Stationeers?

Stationeers is a systems-heavy space survival and base-building sandbox played solo or cooperatively. On hostile planets and in asteroid fields, you mine resources, construct a station piece by piece, and manage linked power, atmospheric, temperature, manufacturing, and agricultural systems. Logic circuits and programmable computers let you automate the base.

For you if...

  • +you enjoy demanding, science-based survival and engineering systems
  • +you like building, programming, and refining automated bases
  • +you want a sandbox playable alone or cooperatively

Not for you if...

  • −you want an accessible survival game with gentle onboarding
  • −you dislike detailed inventory, tool, and construction routines
  • −you want exploration to take priority over station engineering

What players say

86% of 8,954 reviews are positive · 85% of 35 in the last 30 days

Players praise the depth and interplay of atmospheric, power, manufacturing, farming, and automation systems. The most common complaints are the clunky interface, frequent tool and inventory switching during construction, and tutorials or in-game documentation that do not explain the complex systems well.
