Space Engineers

About the game

Space Engineers is a sandbox game from Keen Software House about designing, building and testing your own machines in space and on planets. You construct small and large ships, asteroid stations and planetary bases from more than 200 functional blocks, including thrusters, rotors, pistons, turrets, conveyors and production blocks. The physics are volumetric, so every block and voxel has mass and can take damage: ships break apart, stations crumble, and you can drill, cut and blast tunnels and craters into planets, moons and asteroids. Creative mode gives unlimited resources and instant building, while Survival means mining, welding blocks together by hand, managing power and respawning when you die. You can play alone, in small co-op groups or on large community servers. The setting is hard science fiction built on plausible near-future technology rather than magic. Ten years of free updates and a large Workshop of ships, bases, scripts and scenarios come with it, and all DLC is cosmetic.
