About Astrometica: Prologue
Astrometica: Prologue is a free space‑survival adventure that puts you in harsh cosmic environments. The prologue introduces core systems such as battery management, vehicle operation, crafting, and research, giving a strategic sandbox for exploration and adaptation.
In the prologue you collect raw materials, craft tools, build a base, follow signals, and pilot two distinct spacecraft. These elements showcase the depth of the full game while remaining accessible at no cost.
01 / THE GUIDE
Raw Material Collection
The prologue scatters dozens of raw materials across asteroids and abandoned bases. You can deploy drills to bore into asteroid cores, extracting resources directly from the rock for later use.
Automatic miners can be placed to extract material without constant supervision, creating a steady supply that fuels crafting, base construction, and further exploration.
- Position drills where asteroid density appears highest for quicker yields.
- Use automatic miners to keep gathering while you focus on other tasks.
02 / THE GUIDE
Crafting and Tool Creation
Crafting converts gathered resources into essential equipment such as drills, lasers, shield modules, oxygen tanks, and jetpacks. Each crafted item expands your capability to survive the void and explore further.
Modifications are available for these tools, enhancing efficiency or adaptability, while crafted items can boost capabilities such as faster travel, stronger defense, or extended resource haulage.
- Prioritize oxygen tanks before long excursions away from base.
- Apply modifications that improve durability for tools you use most.
03 / THE GUIDE
Base Building
Even in the free version, you can erect a base that serves as a shelter and operational hub. The base provides a place to store collected resources and a platform for further activities.
Base building lets you expand your foothold in space, adding structures that support crafting, research, and vehicle deployment as you progress.
- Place your base near resource‑rich areas to reduce travel time.
- Expand gradually, adding structures that match your immediate needs.
04 / THE GUIDE
Signal Exploration
Adventure is driven by two primary types of signals that guide you toward unknown locations. These cues may lead to resource‑rich asteroids or abandoned outposts, encouraging deeper exploration.
Following signals rewards curiosity with new materials and opportunities to expand your infrastructure, making them a key motivator for venturing beyond the immediate base area.
- Check signal direction before committing to a long trek.
- Investigate both signal types to diversify discoveries.
05 / THE GUIDE
Spacecraft Options
Two spacecraft are available: a fast space bike that excels at quick reconnaissance and agile movement between asteroids, and a more advanced ship that supplies oxygen and basic protection during travel.
Choosing the appropriate craft balances speed against survivability, letting you tailor travel style to the demands of each expedition.
- Use the space bike for short, high‑speed scouting runs.
- Reserve the advanced ship for extended trips requiring life support.
