I always wished for a simulator where I will be able to run my station. My initial hope was in Kerbal Space Program which had sort of form of interiors, but in very limited manner. Stationeers excel at this point and what I love is attention to realism, although some things are not that in reality.

- You are able to run your station as nearly as a human astro/cosmo-nault would.
- You are in control of making your engineering networks, incl electricity, atmospherics, etc.
- Essentially you have complete control of nearly every aspect of your station and you are forced to think ahead, if you want to survive, mainly in your first moments (I struggle to call it days)
- What is the greatest game-changer is ability to automate things with programming in IC10. I as a programmer in various programming languages love that a lot.
- I tend to agree that this resource management improves your planning thinking, which is a benefit on it's own in the real life.
- Building system which I think was done very well.
- (Pardon me, but I can't help myself to mention it) No cheaters like in the game "Cheaterwatch" (some of you probably know).
- In that sort, game is relaxing.

- For some people the difficulty is maybe higher, but that is alright for me. The training (ATM) is not working, so you are literally thrown into a game without swimming collar.
- Some in-game elements / properties or the philosophy do not match the real-world for maximum immensity.
- To me, personally, the graphics are quite too cartoon-ish, but yes, it is a game and games are meant to entertain.
- If I recall correctly, this game was in Early Access for long time, although I see quite frequent incremental updates.
- Not really a con, but it takes time until you understand the concept


The reason behind it is as this game is complex, even after +1000 hours of gameplay I have not found all of the possibilities in the game and some of the time I've played this game was in Creative mode to understand (and later heavily automate) the mechanics, what can be done and how to play the game efficiently.
Honestly speaking I still wonder how to play the game in "efficient-man" manner, but still as a human with (against the AI in real world) outdated "hardware" (like human brain is) it's still a new experience.


Running game under Steam's Proton very well. Be careful, game uses the ALT-keys for moving elements.
If you have MATE desktop, disable / change your ALT-key to Super key. More on here:
