Starbound

Starbound is a game about shaping your own story across a procedurally generated universe. You can pursue a campaign to save the universe from the forces that destroyed your home, uncover galactic mysteries, or set aside a heroic journey to explore and colonize planets. Choose and customize one of seven playable races, then travel aboard your own starship, which you can decorate and expand.

Explore the universe

Travel between planets to find ancient temples, modern metropolises, trees with eyes and mischievous penguins. Explore dungeons, collect rare creatures and claim extraordinary treasure. You can capture unique monsters to fight alongside you, and discover colorful characters, bosses, dungeons and quests in the story campaign.

Build and settle

Colonize uncharted planets, farm the land or become an intergalactic landlord. Tenants give you gifts, and those who like you may ask to join your ship's crew. Hundreds of materials and over two thousand objects let you build places such as a secluded cabin, a medieval castle, an underwater arcade or a space station. You can also craft thousands of objects, including building materials, armor, weapons and furniture.

Game modes

Starbound has three modes: Casual, where you do not need to eat; Survival, where you must eat to survive and drop items on death; and Hardcore, with permadeath.

Multiplayer and mods

All content is available in online drop-in/drop-out co-op. The game is designed to be easily moddable, with tools to add items, races, planet types, dungeons and quests, and to modify the game to suit your play style.
