About Stationeers
Stationeers places you at the helm of constructing and managing a space station, whether you play alone or with friends online. The game centers on intricate systems—atmospherics, electricity, manufacturing, medical, agriculture, and gravity—that demand constant oversight.
Targeted at hardcore, systems‑oriented players, the experience features deformable voxel terrain, dangerous planetary environments, and mod support via the Steam Workshop. Mastery comes from planning, automation, and continual optimisation of power, heat, and resource flows.
01 / THE GUIDE
Construction System
The construction system rewards well‑designed architectural, atmospheric, and electrical plans, letting you place walls, floors, and conduits on deformable voxel terrain. Tools let you shape stations, factories, and infrastructure on planets, asteroids, or in open space.
Machines, conveyors, and computers can be arranged into complex factories, and the system supports modular expansion. Careful layout reduces later redesign and helps maintain structural integrity under dynamic physics such as wall fatigue.
- Plan wall placement with future modules in mind to avoid costly redesigns.
- Test modular sections in a small, low-cost build before committing large resource batches.
02 / THE GUIDE
Atmospherics
Atmospherics manage temperature, pressure, combustion, gas mixtures, water, and fire. Players must monitor gauges and control vents to keep the habitat habitable and to prevent explosive decompression.
Dynamic physics affect items such as wall fatigue, making proper sealing and pressure regulation essential for long‑term survival on harsh worlds.
- Check pressure gauges regularly to spot leaks early.
- Balance gas mixtures to maintain comfortable temperature without excessive power use.
03 / THE GUIDE
Automation & Logic
A ubiquitous logic system lets you automate every aspect of the base. Integrated circuits and assembly‑code programs can control machines, conveyors, and environmental systems.
Automation reduces manual workload, freeing you to focus on higher‑level engineering challenges such as power distribution and resource processing.
- Start with simple logic gates before tackling full assembly programs.
- Document circuit layouts to simplify troubleshooting later.
04 / THE GUIDE
Resource Processing
Mined ore can be processed through specialist machines like smelters, sorters, centrifuges, and fabricators. These convert raw materials into goods needed for further construction.
Efficient pipelines of conveyors and sorters streamline production, reducing the time spent moving items manually and helping maintain steady output.
- Group similar machines together to minimise conveyor length.
- Monitor machine throughput to identify bottlenecks early.
05 / THE GUIDE
Multiplayer Co‑op
Stationeers supports online multiplayer, LAN, and co‑op modes, allowing friends to share the workload of station management. Players can divide responsibilities such as power generation, farming, and construction.
Collaboration is essential for tackling large‑scale projects and surviving harsh planetary conditions together, as each participant can focus on a specific subsystem.
- Assign clear roles to each player to avoid duplicated effort.
- Communicate resource needs regularly to keep the station balanced.
