A scout leaves for an anomaly and comes back with ore. Ore goes into refining, refining pays for the next module. Fill a ring and the next one opens.
One loop you can finish in an evening and then run for weeks. Timers keep going while the game is closed, so it asks for a minute, not an hour.
Send the scout to an anomaly. The trip takes real time and what it finds is not guaranteed.
Half the haul burns off in refining. What survives is what you can actually build with.
Drop a module into a free slot: storage, refinery, generator, radar. Duplicates allowed.
A full ring unlocks the next one. Three slots, then six, then twelve.
Trusses, platforms, docking nodes. Every silhouette is a real mesh from the same kit the player builds with, lit and rendered live rather than drawn once for the poster.
A live 3D scene in the browser. Drag to orbit it, zoom into the modules, look at the docking arm. No download, no account.
In development, and this page says so plainly. Below is what runs today, what is being built, and what is deliberately out of scope.
