Space Mechanic Simulator

Space Mechanic Simulator is a repair game set across the Solar System. You diagnose and fix simulated devices using tools, diagrams and measurements, working in zero gravity or in darkness while orbiting a planet. The devices are based on equipment used in real industry on Earth, and repairs involve tracing faults rather than simply disconnecting parts.

Diagnose and repair

You inspect schematics and use tools to locate problems in mechanical and electrical devices. You measure signals, temperatures and pressures, compare the results with diagrams and follow connections to find the cause. Some faults are not apparent until you inspect the equipment; for example, you must close a valve before disconnecting a pipe.

The game includes complex objects made of many parts, along with a large number of stations, satellites and bases to repair. You can also recover scientific data from a broken drone, fix a satellite tracking a comet and control a rover on a planet's surface.

Work in space

Your spacesuit has a flashlight and automated thrusters to help you stabilize. Keep an eye on oxygen, fuel and energy: when supplies run low, you need to fly back to your shuttle to replenish them. You can also take risks by cutting it close, while balancing the time spent on a repair against its cost.

The game takes place at the eight planets of the Solar System and other locations. You can work in orbit, fly low over a gas giant with supersonic winds, view the Sun from its orbit, look at Earth from the Moon, or watch a blue sunset on Mars. Its depictions of the Solar System aim for a realistic artistic vision, focusing on the scale of celestial bodies and the changing light and shadows around them.

Progress and missions

As you progress, you unlock tutorials that can grant licenses for new tools and activities. You begin with basic mechanical repairs and diagnostics using infrared cameras and sensors built into devices, then progress to electrical repairs and programming devices. Learning to mine resources lets you earn extra cash instead of buying them.

The campaign has over 100 missions, with resource and inventory management and a skill-development system. An interactive hub lets you monitor and control the course of the game.
