addedYou can also attach screenshots and savegames , which helps us reconstruct broken timelines, suspicious physics events, and stations that have clearly decided to ignore all known laws of reality (and sometimes invent new ones). This Early Access release is just the beginning. Our focus moving forward will be expanding the campaign experience with new mechanics, missions, storylines, systems, balancing, side content, and deeper simulation features to make the universe feel increasingly alive over time. We will publish a road map soon after release!

After years of development, countless redesigns, late nights, and community feedback, Starminer is finally here! Steam post image

You’ll begin your journey in deep space with a small crew, limited resources, and a station that barely holds together. From there, it’s up to you to expand your operation, mine asteroid fields, automate production chains, command ships, survive disasters, and build an industrial space empire. Check out the launch trailer here!
