Are there aliens or NPC's?

I want to buy this game but I will be playing solo. I was wondering if there is other life in the galaxy.

Hi, first I must tell you I am not a SE Dev but forum Moderator community helper/game tester and I help the SE community since 2013 because it's my Fav Sandbox game on Steam.
-> I collect the most talked about every months to send to the SE team and they gave me the [Dev] Tag so I can be admin of the Workshop to help more.

That said, I can tell it's a sandbox game where we can do all we want and here are the Default enemies :

> Custom worlds / Premade worlds, some with enemy SPRT stations to conquer on all planets, moons and space, some asteroids only and some with planets but enemy in space only ...

> Encounters (in space, abandoned stations/ship protected by enemy Drones)

> Enemy Drones.

> Wolves on Earth like planet.

> Spiders on Alien planets and Pertam planet.

+ Way more because we can setup the world to our liking by changing the world settings and adding Workshop Mods.

Also can enable/disable "Economy" that adds missions like to do at the contracts block of dead NPC stations on Planets and Moons/space, also buy/sell at their Store and buy ships with Space credits.

Cool NPC Mods like this one can be added :

Oh! Sorry for the multiposts but there is a lot in this game because no end at creating.

I wanted to add, the main "Goal" is to be able to survive at the Easy. Medium and Hard Biomes, find the Rich ore spots of the game to be able to build the best ships concepts that is the "Nuclear ships", the ones using Reactor with Uranium as power.

-> Platimun and Uranium are the rare ones and playing at a Rich ore spot of the game will give you all ores very early in survival but you will have to try all the available starts and explore to find the best areas.

Subscribe to workshop mod "Faction Wars" mod. It is something along the lines of 'Faction Wars AIvsAivsPlayer'. Subscribe to that and the required mods and required mods to the required mods and have fun. There is also 'Reavers' and the Space Orks. But those two are overpowered - intended for a challenge.

Thank you

In short, No there are not, mods kinda fix that however(still no real npc).

Next update may heavily improve upon it.

NO - the short answer.
but:
1. there are empty ships driven by AI that spawn and fly randomly around
(with mods that are very good - empty ships become more fun to shoot and more challenging and can appear in different shapes and sizes and on planets too.)
2. There is option to spawn spiders or wolves that attack your base. But its a disgrace to a bot and serve only as annoying nonsense and nobody ever use them.

Spiders attack and destroy the base and transport, more of them at night. See the mod description for more details. I advise you to give it a try.
