Spacenauts, transitioned from being a simple procedural planet generation showcase, to an actual playable experience.
The first stable version of Spacenauts is Alpha 0.1, this version allows the player to involve in many different activities that include survival elements, the player will be able to build, destroy, farm, mine and explore, in many ways, their entire star system. Equiped with a fully functional DATASTORE SYSTEM, the player will be able to save every structure, resource and modification done on a planet, this allows for unprecedented levels of gameplay dynamic, as players are just able to save, leave to take a break, and come back whenever they’re ready.
Spacenauts will face several updates as of the current year, 2025, these updates will look foward to patch bugs, enhance gameplay and add more interesting content, be aware that, as Spacenauts is still an ALPHA, bugs are to be expected, if you do come across an error and want to report it, head to: Bug report thread for ALPHA 0.1
And reply with a description of the bug and if possible, an image regarding it. You can also report an error on the “Bug Report” group of this server.
The game will automatically save after you land and after completing the first two missions, then you should use a “Save Beacon” to save.

Techincal overview:
Spacenauts features a unique way of generating spherical planets which do not have a significant impact on performance, these planet’s diamter can vary from 16,000 to 18,000 studs.
This system includes chunk rendering systems with server-client communication allowing for quick data transfer between server and client.
These planets feature different climates and conditions, they can either have life or be sterile and desolated worlds, the different climate variants are: “Lush”, “Desertic”, “Sterile”, “Radiactive”, “Cold”.
Spacenauts also features randomly generated stars which vary their colour and thus the light they emit, either giving solar systems cold blueish tones or reddish warm tones.
Planets also have their own realistic atmospheres and can be generated with rings systems, all of these planets are 100% unique and you are able to travel to space.
Planets feature procedurally generated trees and minerals, each planet has different compounds or elements based on their atmospheric composition, this game also features randomly generated asteroid fields, equiped with a complete rocketery physics system, you can send satellites into orbit manually and/or operate tripulated rockets towards different worlds.
Planets also feature random ruin generation, you can scavenge these ruins left behind by past missions to find loot and technology.
Spacenauts allows you to produce different materials through several dynamic and scientifically accurate ways to immerse you into this universe, with a main story line you’ll have to follow, and badges to encourage progress, this experience has become a fully playable experience more than a showcase.
