About Star Birds
Star Birds is a single‑player factory building and resource‑management game where you mine asteroids, construct production networks, and guide a crew of birds through procedurally generated star systems. Each system presents its own environmental challenges, from icy surfaces to scorching heat, and even mysterious alien tentacles.
The game offers 360° base building on floating asteroids, resource transformation inspired by real science, and a story‑driven campaign that rewards exploration, automation, and collection of odd artifacts while you upgrade your space station and unlock new production paths.
01 / THE GUIDE
Asteroid Base Building
You place buildings on procedurally generated asteroids, using each asteroid's unique shape and surface area to design production layouts. Hand‑drawn pipes let you connect facilities and shape the flow of resources across your floating world.
The 360° view lets you rotate around the asteroid, positioning structures to fit irregular terrain and creating compact, efficient networks that match the asteroid’s contours.
- Experiment with different pipe routes to see how layout affects resource flow.
- Use the asteroid’s natural contours to minimize pipe length and visual clutter.

Resource Mining & Production
Scanning and claiming nearby asteroids lets you mine resources such as ice, metals, and more obscure materials. These raw inputs feed production facilities where they are transformed into increasingly advanced goods.
Automation is central: once a production chain is set up, resources move through pipes, allowing you to focus on expanding the network rather than manual collection.
- Prioritize mining abundant resources first to keep production chains running smoothly.
- Combine different resource types to unlock higher‑tier goods.
03 / THE GUIDE
Quest & Delivery System
Your space station receives quests that reflect the odd needs of the birds. Completed products are delivered to satisfy these requests, advancing the storyline and unlocking new content.
Each successful delivery contributes to the campaign’s progression, encouraging you to refine your factories to meet increasingly specific demands.
- Check quest requirements before expanding production to avoid unnecessary steps.
- Batch similar items together for more efficient deliveries.
04 / THE GUIDE
Exploration & Mysteries
Beyond building, you explore each asteroid’s surface for hidden artifacts and follow strange traces that lead your crew toward a larger secret. New star systems introduce fresh environmental puzzles and narrative clues.
Uncovering these mysteries deepens the campaign and rewards curiosity with unique items and story revelations.
- Take time to investigate unusual terrain features; they often hide artifacts.
- Follow trace clues methodically to avoid missing hidden story elements.
05 / THE GUIDE
Achievements & Collection
The game tracks a collection of items you discover, offering medals for perfecting setups and completing bonus challenges. These achievements serve as milestones for efficiency and creativity.
Progressing through medals encourages you to refine layouts, experiment with new production paths, and fully explore the procedural worlds.
- Aim for medals on early asteroids to learn optimal pipe designs.
- Review achievement criteria to target specific improvements.
