Stardeus

Stardeus is a colony simulation set aboard a damaged starship, with drones and human survivors in hibernation. You play as an immortal AI, directing your drones as they repair the ship, while deciding whether to save or exploit the crew. The universe, including its planets and systems, is procedurally generated.

Restore the ship

You begin with only a handful of drones. Salvage materials, repair and rebuild the destroyed ship, and restore life support before the crew suffocates in the vacuum of space. Design the ship to suit your needs, balance its oxygen, heat and power systems, and process resources into components for maintaining and expanding its facilities. You can grow crops and turn the harvest into food for colonists as they awaken, and generate energy through an interconnected power system.

Research and explore

Use and expand the ship’s computing power to research alien technologies and discover ways to survive the harsh universe and care for—or exploit—the human crew. Once the ship is powered and staffed by skilled colonists, you can explore and mine procedurally generated planets and systems across the vast universe.

Events and encounters

A story-generating AI introduces an endless number of events and encounters. These include alien face huggers, benevolent traders and pirates. You choose how to deal with each situation.
