Build and explore in a true space sandbox survival adventure.
Empyrion – Galactic Survival is a true space sandbox survival adventure that uniquely combines elements of space simulations, building games, survival games and first-person shooters. Build mighty capital ships, vast planetary settlements, and vast space stations on your galactic journey to discover the mysteries of Empyrion!
Build anything, anywhere
Build powerful capital ships, agile fighters, vast planetary settlements and space stations with complete freedom; piece by piece, wherever you want, or download pre-built community projects from the Steam Workshop and customize them with your own ideas!
Model the terrain
Completely modify and warp the terrain on any planet. Thanks to the voxel-based terrain, you can flatten it for your planetary settlement, dig holes to find resources, or build a tunnel system for protection. Empyrion is a true sandbox game!
Explore the galaxy
A vast galaxy awaits you. Travel and fly between a huge variety of planets, moons and remote star systems. Freely explore the surface of each planet, with its gravity, atmosphere, terrain, vegetation, climate, resources and more. Survive its flora and fauna and discover the secrets of alien races.
Enjoy thousands of mods
Enhance your experience with an ocean of player-made ship and settlement designs, along with mods that provide entirely new scenarios and items.
Survive on and off the world
To survive in space and on alien planets, you must plan with ingenuity and caution. Food, oxygen, resources and ammunition are essential. Hunt, gather food and plant a garden to support yourself. While some beings you encounter will be peaceful, others will destroy you if given the opportunity. Come prepared with a range of weapons and defensive measures.
Go solo or multiplayer
Play as a lone wolf in single-player mode or join the multiplayer community. Join friends, build new friendships, create alliances and wage war. Build a comfortable home in a well-protected PvE area and face the dangers of PvP planets and conquer the solar system with your faction.
Master a deep crafting system
Learn how to combine resources and building materials to create your own gear. Craft on the go or in your base and equip your buildings and ships with a range of different weapons and gadgets. As you perform various tasks, level up and unlock new technologies in the tech tree!
Extract planets and asteroids
Fuel your crafting and construction projects by delving deep into planets for rich deposits or drilling asteroids full of rare minerals. Collect alien buildings and other structures you encounter to obtain additional resources.
Creative mode
Forget about food, resources and enemies and just build. Create wonders with complete freedom and then share them with the creative community by uploading them to Steam Workshop!
