Not for the Faint of heart; a story.

I have nearly 300 hours into this game, of which over 100 in the last two weeks, let me break down how i got to where i can survive.

1. spawn in the game and wonder what everything does......run out of suit battery - Die.

2. start a new game and this time while learning what everything you start with, keep an eye on battery level... Found a solar charger, learns charging batteries = Living longer... Sweet, put down portable solar charger and charge a spare battery while learning how to make frames and rooms..... Storm blows in, portable charger flys off with my spare battery - Die.

3. Start a new file on the Moon this time, NO storms = live???

4. happily building a base and learning how to make a working airlock... Run out of welder fuel - basically die due to soft lock XD.(repeat 4 times because i don't learn)

5. New game, Creative and Learn how things work like a smart person, learn how the cables and networks...work... and how pipes work. got to furnace and steel, repeated without needing creative.

6. start a new save, on Mars on normal and i have made it to steel and an advanced furnace without needing to spawn anything, - Happynoises.jpg

This game is NOT Not for the Faint of heart(even with Tutorials) but the Community will help with any and all questions; i recommend ANYONE who wants to learn this game, join the community, and give the game patience, you will most certainly die, many times, while learning, but the key, like in life, is to Not give up when faced with failure, learn from it and make improvements and you will successed!

I highly recommend this game to anyone who loves a challenge and who like games that have a lot of systems working together.

Hobbits In Space

One of the best space games I've ever played! Am at +250h and still building and expanding my little “starter” base on Mars. There's so much content I haven't even touched yet and at the rate of progression I'll probably never get to see all the game content :D Love it!

Remember "The Martian"? This is the closest you can get....


You know, half my life I was taught in School that science is boring, physics was boring at school, chemistry was extremely boring. And then a few years after school I happened on a couple of very god science books and Kerbal Space Program. These changes my perspective on science 180 degrees.

This is the other game, after KSP that makes science fun! It makes you want to learn! This game is amazing. In my opinion it is even better than KSP because I find it more approachable for beginners.

Stationeers should be treasured! It should be taught in schools. It has that very rare quality of been fun, interesting and educational at the same time. Obviously it is a simulation and a game, not true science, but it definitely puts you down the path.

I wish the kiwi developers all the best! I really want this game to become a huge success. Highly recommended!!!

i don't know what i'm doing but it's fun

Many people are knocking this game down because its challenging but its not meant to be an easy game. This game challenges you and then rewards you. I could go into whats good about this game and what isn't but I wont. This game is a gem and the hours i put into it and others shows its worth it.

So just give it a go and see where it leads you.

Fantastic experience!

Survival in space but with a bit different approach than other popular title.

I'm having lots of fun filtering gases, trying to get net positive power without needing to cut off sections from power, sending rockets mining or even planting corn!

The only thing missing are tutorials. At least for controls, which are simple yet sometimes complex at same time.

Although starting a new world with little to no knowledge of the game or even some more complex physics gave me challange I really needed.

So I drowned in this game learning basic rocket equations and so on.

If you like survival games, space, crafting and are not afraid of learning things just to play the game, this title is for you!

Blew up my Autolathe and furnace on the first play through on Mars, thank goodness for the AutoSave.

Still get the occasional fire balls when I try and print stuff but apart from that all going well.

But on a serious note it's AMAZING game well worth taking the time to watch some YouTube and learn what to do and how to survive and when you get the basics done the pressure of survival eases and you can build new systems and learn how to play the game.
I have no programming knowledge at all but started using the logic chips and now moving onto the IC's, but I enjoy learning and find games like Stationeers rewarding. Great job Dev team.

I bought it because I was looking for a base/station builder, I've stayed because I'm finding it a great challenge. The systems make sense, once you figure out what direction it's coming from.

I'm barely 3 steps in, got a base, now I'm figuring out how to supply the basics, air, water, heat, food..

If you are looking for a great way to lose days at a time, this is a great choice.

It keeps you busy and makes you think. Steep learning curve, but very rewarding.
