Our take on Space Trash Scavenger
The store page foregrounds broad space exploration and an open-world survival sandbox, while the central routine also involves repeated salvage, processing, crafting, trading, and base defense. Factory management and resource handling may occupy as much attention as flying between wrecks.
What is Space Trash Scavenger?
Explore procedurally generated asteroid fields, abandoned outposts, and derelict ships while collecting debris and salvaged technology.
Use trash as a resource to recycle and refine goods for trade on the Trash Exchange. Build a Space Rig with artificial gravity, power, farming, defense, and processing systems, expanding it in any direction. Craft food, fuel, weapons, ammunition, and suit upgrades for survival. Conveyor pads and splitters move ingredients between machines, allowing factory processes to be automated to the desired extent. Travel to other sectors after acquiring fuel and a warp drive. Alien bots patrol most sectors and are drawn to expanding operations, making weapons, defenses, and jetpack fuel part of each expedition.
