About SpaceCraft
SpaceCraft drops you into a galaxy where every trade reshapes the market. Mine asteroids, craft ship parts, and trade blueprints while the economy reacts to each transaction.
Collaboration is key: form or join Corporations, assign roles, and manage interplanetary logistics. Explore planets, stations, and derelict ships in real‑time, then use Faster‑Than‑Light jumps to reach distant systems instantly.
01 / THE GUIDE
Economy and Trade
Marketplace prices shift with each player transaction, meaning buying or selling items directly influences the universal economy. Players can purchase and sell blueprints, offer services, and accept missions or contracts, all of which affect market values.
Corporations amplify this effect by pooling resources and negotiating larger deals, allowing groups to collectively sway price trends and create a dynamic, player‑driven market.
- Watch price trends before large purchases to gauge potential profit.
- Coordinate pricing strategies with corporation members for consistent market influence.
02 / THE GUIDE
Resource Extraction
Planets and asteroid fields contain abundant natural resources ready for mining, extraction, and gathering. Scanning tools let you locate valuable materials, and your ship can mine them directly from the environment.
Collected raw materials can be crafted into ship components or other valuable goods, feeding into personal inventories or larger production lines.
- Use scans to prioritize high‑value resource sites.
- Balance mining output with cargo capacity to avoid overloading.
03 / THE GUIDE
Ship Construction
Crafted parts can be assembled into vessels ranging from nimble scouts to heavy transport cruisers, with each component influencing overall performance. This lets players tailor ships to specific roles or tasks.
Players may also buy blueprints from others for instant builds, and once a design is perfected they can sell its blueprint, fostering a player‑driven ship market.
- Experiment with different component mixes to discover optimal performance for your playstyle.
- Consider selling successful blueprints to generate passive income.

Automation and Bases
Bases can be expanded into automated resource hubs, using drones and cargo ships to streamline mining, extraction, and logistics. Automation improves efficiency across mining, extraction, and logistics operations.
Every aspect of a base—from housing to energy management—can be optimized, supporting larger commercial empires and interplanetary supply chains.
- Start automation on high‑yield resources first for quick returns.
- Regularly review drone routes to prevent bottlenecks.
05 / THE GUIDE
Exploration and Faster‑Than‑Light Travel
SpaceCraft offers seamless real‑time navigation from deep space to planetary surfaces. Players can scan planets, chart courses, and discover abandoned stations or derelict ships.
Faster‑Than‑Light (FTL) jumps let you traverse vast distances instantly, opening distant systems for mining, trading, or exploration without lengthy travel times.
- Map nearby systems before FTL jumps to plan resource stops.
- Explore derelict ships as part of charting forgotten worlds.
