WIKI – STEAM – EPIC
Slog through space in SpaceSlog. A challenging sci-fi spaceship simulator that focuses on shipbuilding, crew interaction, and exploration. Inspired by games such as Rimworld, Starship Theory, Dwarf Fortress and X-COM, as well as iconic media such as Firefly, Battlestar Galactica, Stargate Universe and The Expanse.

Build your ship any way you please. Whether you want to build a small but nimble ship with a small crew, or a large battleship with lots of crew, the choice is yours. Just ensure you have enough supplies to manage your crew and keep your ship functioning.
Careful consideration must be used when placing doors and your power systems in case of breaches or other hazards.
Explore a procedurally generated galaxy. Each time you play, the game’s events system will generate a different galaxy for you to explore. Whichever difficulty you choose will influence how this galaxy or events are generated.
Exploration is key to survival. Stay in one place for too long or get stranded and your crew will surely die. You must keep moving and find other ships or factions to trade with in order to survive.
Crew needs and moods. The needs of your crew must be met in order to keep your ship fully functioning. An angry crew may rebel, decide not to work or give up completely. Ensure you have enough food and water to feed your crew. You must also choose your captain wisely.
Extensive mod support. All the games data are stored in JSON files which means it is extremely easy to change anything currently in the game and even add new ones. In the future we plan to expand on this even further.
Mod development pedigree. The author of SpaceSlog has spent the last 10 years painstakingly developing a large and popular free modification for Mount&Blade Warband called A World of Ice and Fire. This is the reason for wanting extensive mod support and should hopefully give peace of mind for anyone wanting to purchase SpaceSlog, knowing the author is dedicated and willing to finish a project.
