Our take on The Spatials: Galactology
Rather than keeping colony building within a single station, the game connects management to exploration, trade, and planetary invasions. Station operations also include crew needs and logistics, so expansion involves more than placing rooms and buildings.
What is The Spatials: Galactology?
Manage a station as the Spatials expand into a new region of the galaxy.
Build rooms and facilities, provide living quarters and vital products, and coordinate manufacturing, research, healthcare, security, and inventory. Staff and visitors have their own needs, while the simulation includes hunger, thirst, disease, emotional breakdowns, cleaning, decay, noise, and fire. Build ships to explore planets and asteroids, gather resources, establish trade routes, or invade other worlds. Real-time combat shapes alliances and rivalries. The randomly generated galaxy contains 100+ planets. Station construction includes destructible walls, customizable floor colors, and rooms that can use any objects. Steam Workshop provides community-created gameplay mods.
