How to Play Single-player?

[Dark Emu (BELIEVER OF SKONG)]

I understand that due to this being a niche game that there may not be many people playing at a single time. Is it still possible to play the single-player content such as game against the AI?

If you know how to run Fractured Space in 2022-20XX let me know.

That link is broken already

Wonder what the chances are that some company will pick this back up and start this game up again

Zero. This game, despite its entire 4 year existence, never had a single day where it was able to make a profit. It simply was too niche and entirely unable to retain the overwhelming majority of the players that tried it.

2022, you can!

can be played via https://github.com/Tigerhacker/fractured-bootstrapper
it even has MP servers, but they're empty atm

but you still can play Solo!

just played the first time since the shutdown, and even with bots the game is still fire!
I'll spend next 30m rotating ships in the hangar xd

How do we get this working? I have downloaded the zip, but cannot run main. Or do I unzip this into the app directory?

Don't download the whole repository, you want the latest release. https://github.com/Tigerhacker/fractured-bootstrapper/releases/latest

this was a great game. but sadly 1 of its biggest competitors. World of tanks.... Bought it. then scrapped it shortly after. this game had the potential to be as big or bigger then world of tanks imo. but because it didnt have lines to grind down, earn exp, money etc. it wasnt a game that companies could nickle dime players on with boosted rates selling premium time etc. so it got scrapped. profit over quality. if done right this game imo could of made money and done like League of Legends selling skins making money that way.

This would be a perfect single player game with a campaign. I really miss those space sims from the 90s such as Colony Wars series. There is big problem with these MMOs like WOT that when they do shut down any money you spent on the game is down the drain. Never to be able to play again.

How do you use this tool? The Discord link in the bootstrapper is invalid so I can't really find a way to use this.

Download the .exe from the latest release
run it
(I think it should be self-explanatory but I'll take another look later)

Would be nice if we could adjust the bot difficulty somehow.
The old workaround doesnt work with the "community version" of the game.
Im being destroyed by bots left and right.

This one should still be valid https://discord.gg/mB6HZnR57A
There's also a google doc, with full details on how to run FS with the bootstrapper https://docs.google.com/document/d/15tbgHMgBjBwdk-j3AlYdwWmqCCZB4lHp_zuasakvErE/edit?usp=sharing

I assumed it was single player. I do not buy games generally for multiplayer. Must have been on a big discount when I bought it or I misunderstood the content of the game.
