Space Station Manager

Space Station Manager is a management game about building and expanding space stations, earning money and growing beyond the solar system. You plan station layouts and businesses, serve visitors, research technology, and send fleets to harvest and process resources. Random events and disasters can threaten your stations, so where you build matters.

Build and manage stations

You assemble stations from different parts, whose functions depend on the components you choose. Select suitable materials to make stations as large as possible without them breaking apart. Their locations also affect performance: hotels near Earth can draw on its larger population, while hotels farther away earn more per guest. Industrial stations work best near the materials they use, while building near asteroid belts, rings, stars or other dangerous places increases the chance of disaster.

You can host guests in luxury space hotels and provide local shops. To attract customers, balance service quality against noise from machinery and provide a good view. You can also build laboratories to develop new technology and draw more customers.

Research and expansion

Researching technology can improve productivity alongside building larger stations. You can also develop technologies that have never existed before, increasing your popularity.

Harvest and trade

Send fleets to harvest resources from asteroids and planets, then refine and sell them. When earning money from housing people becomes less effective, you can shift to industrial production and trade with large companies. Refining resources or assembling high-quality products can bring in more money.

Explore space

Send scouts to explore distant places and uncover information about them.
