Description

You are a Starmancer, a powerful A.I. and humanity’s last hope. Incubate your colonists and build a bustling space port. Hunt for resources on faraway asteroids, and loot derelict ships to defend against starvation & space cannibals! Make a mistake? Don’t worry, you can always grow another crew.

After a catastrophe on Earth, humanity launches the Starmancer Initiative in a desperate attempt to seek refuge among the stars. Your task as a Starmancer is to construct and manage a colony capable of sustaining human life.

Starmancer offers gameplay with consequences, a living sandbox environment, crafting, and managing the daily lives of colonists. Send crews out to mine on asteroids, trade with other factions, and explore old alien ruins.

  • Build a thriving space station, with tons of customization.
  • Manage the lives of colonists aboard your station.
  • Warp to randomized star systems to explore, loot, and defeat enemies
  • Tinker with the sandbox using cheats: spawn monsters, build instantly, give yourself all the money, and more.
  • Modding support
  • Active Development — Check out our weekly developer stream!

The Wilderness Update

The Wilderness Awaits! Leave the comforts of your space station to loot asteroids and derelict ships across the galaxy. Hunt for resources, take on territorial monsters, and avoid alien… probing?! Advance your ship using your newfound space booty and experiment with forbidden technologies. You might even adopt a wandering Space Colonist - but be careful, you never know who or what you might encounter…
