There are a number of settings that can be changed to affect various ways the game works. They can be set when creating a new world or adjusted on existing worlds by selecting them in the load menu and clicking "edit settings".
Scenario
Only available when creating a new world. Allows you to select from the following set of pre-built scenarios:
| Easy Start 1 | Start on a fully-equipped platform with 3 small ships (a miner, a fighter and a builder) and 2 large ships (the blue ship and the red ship featured in one of the menu loops). |
|---|---|
| Easy Start 2 | Start with a complex, fully-equipped asteroid base with many small ships and the 2 large ships. |
| Lone Survivor | Start on the same fully-equipped platform as Easy Start 1, sans ships. |
| Crashed Red Ship | Start with the aftermath of the red ship flying into an asteroid. |
| Two Platforms | Has two fully-equipped platforms at opposite ends of the asteroid field. Recommended for PvP. |
| Asteroids | Start in a spawn ship in an asteroid field. |
| Empty World | An empty world; no platform, no ships, no asteroids. Completely unsuitable for Survival Mode, as progress is impossible. |
World Settings
Name
The name of the world, which will appear both in the "Load World" menu and in the "Join World" menu (if your world is open for others to join).
Description
A short description of the world. Appears when you mouse over the world in the "Load World" menu.
Game Mode
Sets the world to either Creative or Survival Mode.
| Creative | Infinite resources, instant building, instant welding of projected blocks, systems do not require resources (e.g. Uranium or Ice) to function, weapons do not use ammo. |
|---|---|
| Survival | Resources must be mined and refined. Blocks can still be placed instantly, but require components and welding before they are functional. Systems require and use up resources. |
Online Mode
Determines whether or not people can connect to you for online multiplayer.
| Offline | The world is not visible on the "Join World" menu, and is not joinable in any way. Singleplayer mode is active, meaning you can pause the game. |
|---|---|
| Private | The world is not visible on the "Join World" menu. It is joinable, but only with an invite. |
| Friends | The world appears on the "Join World" menu to your Steam friends, and is joinable by them. People who are not friends with you on Steam will not see the game, but they can still join if they are invited into it. |
| Public | The world is visible on the "Join World" menu to everyone online on Steam, and is joinable by them. |
Max. Players
Only available if the Online Mode is not "Offline". Determines the maximum amount of players on the world at once, including yourself. Range: 2-16
Environment Hostility
Affects the frequency and severity of Meteor Storms.
| Safe | Meteor storms will not occur. |
|---|---|
| Normal | Meteor storms will occur rarely and in smaller numbers, causing minor damage. |
| Cataclysm | Meteor storms occur regularly, in decent numbers, and can cause serious damage. |
| Armageddon | Meteors never stop. Meteors are on fire. Meteors will cause major damage. Good luck. |
Asteroid Amount
Not available if you have picked the "Empty World" scenario. Affects the amount of pseudo-randomly generated asteroids in the game world. Important for Survival Mode, as they are your source of ores.
| Normal | 4 Large asteroids, and 20 small asteroids are generated |
|---|---|
| Large | 7 Large asteroids, and 35 small asteroids are generated |
| Extreme | 16 Large asteroids, and 80 small asteroids are generated (For 64-bit systems only) |
| Infinite: Low Density | Spawns an infinite randomly generated world, asteroids vary in size and are very spread out |
| Infinite: Normal Density | Spawns an infinite randomly generated world, asteroids vary in size and are closer together |
| Infinite: High Density | Spawns an infinite randomly generated world, asteroids vary in size and are very close to each other |
Auto-Save
When turned on, the world will automatically save at regular intervals.
Scenario Edit Mode
This option enables the world to be edited with scenario options available.
- The world must be set in creative mode to use scenario functions
- Once the world is exited, the gamemode will automatically switch back to Survival mode
Mods
As of patch 01.042, mod integration with steam workshop was introduced. This feature in addition allows players to select specific mods to add to their worlds. To learn how the mod page works, see Mods guide on steam by Marek Rosa.
Advanced
Advanced settings to further customize your world.
Inventory Size
Only available in Survival Mode Affects the size of the inventories (both the player's and most storage blocks).
| Setting | Description | Storage volume (L) | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Player | Small Container (small block / large block) | Medium Container | Large Container (small block / large block) | ||
| Realistic | Standard size. | 400 | 125 / 15,625 | 8000 | 27,000 / 125,000 |

| 10x | Inventories are ten times larger. | 4000 | 1250 / 156,250 | 80000 | 270,000 / 1,250,000 |
Assembler Efficiency
Only available in Survival Mode. Affects the speed of and the amount of ingots used by the Assembler to produce Components.
| Realistic | Standard speed and efficiency |
|---|---|
| 3x | Assemblers speed increased to 300%, uses 3 times less resources |
| 10x | Assemblers speed increased to 1000%, uses 10 times less resources |
Refinery Speed
// I am unsure if this setting affects Arc Furnace, can anyone check? Only available in Survival Mode. Affects the speed that the Refinery processes ores.
| Realistic | Standard speed |
|---|---|
| 3x | Refinery processing speed increased to 300% |
| 10x | Refinery processing speed increased to 1000% |
Welding Speed
| Realistic | Standard speed |

Grinding Speed
| Realistic | Standard speed |
|---|---|
| 0.5x | Grinding speed decreased to 50% |
| 2x | Grinding speed increased to 200% |
| 5x | Grinding speed increased to 500% |
Max. Objects
The maximum amount of small objects (ores, dropped components, tools) in the world at one time. If this limit is exceeded, the oldest object will be deleted. Higher values can strain less powerful computers. Range: 16-1024
Limit world size
as of patch 01.035.005, players are allowed to set the size of the world. The game area is limited to a cube with a size of the players choosing. Any object that passes outside the border is removed from the world. Any players that cross the border, will be killed. As of patch 01.042, when a player approaches the border, a warning is displayed on-screen, informing the player the distance, and consequences of crossing it.
| 10 km | The game world size is limited to 10 km |
|---|---|
| 20 km | The game world size is limited to 20 km |
| 50 km | The game world size is limited to 50 km |
| 100 km | The game world size is limited to 100 km |
| Unlimited | The world size has no boundaries, and is unlimited. Object deletion and player killed by border is disabled. |
Respawn ship cooldown
When player spawns with a ship, cooldowns are applied to prevent players from repeatedly respawning and grinding them for resources. Each spawn ship has it's own cooldown based on ship's value. Cooldowns are not applied per ship, but per respawn. This means that every time you respawn on a ship, cooldowns will be reapplied for all ships. This setting allows cooldown length adjustment.
Note: you can respawn in suit at any time.
| Approximate wait time for cooldown settings | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Setting | Respawn Ship | Respawn Ship 2 | Small Drill Ship | Escape Pod | Respawn Ship 3 |

| Default x 50 | 12.5 hours | 7.5 hours | 4.2 hours | 3.3 hours | 9.2 hours |
View distance
View distance affects how far a player is able to see. The larger is view distance, the more objects potentially can be seen on screen simultaneously, causing game performance to drop.
