About the Game

You start alone in space with an empty ship. No crew. No industry. Just you, your equipment, and the vast unknown. Every system you build and every upgrade you unlock comes from what you create yourself.

Mine Asteroids with Your Laser Drone

Harvest resources directly from asteroids using your laser drone. Different materials unlock new crafting paths, machines, and technologies as your industry grows.

Build, Craft, and Automate

Construct machines, refine raw materials, and set up automated production chains. Start simple and gradually design efficient systems that run on their own.

Progress at Your Own Pace

Space Drifter is designed to be calm and open-ended. There is no rush — optimize, experiment, and expand your industrial setup however you want.

Upgrade Your Gear

Improve your space suit, jetpack, and tools to reach new areas, handle more complex systems, and operate more efficiently in space.
