Space Station Continuum

About this game

Space Station Continuum is a building & management sim inspired by the past, present, and future of humans in space.

Based on real space history, Space Station Continuum puts you in charge of an internationally funded space station in low Earth orbit.

Space Station Continuum is currently in Early Access and has limited content compared with the final version of the game.

Get access to all of the latest updates and help shape the development roadmap by buying Space Station continuum today!



You'll manage power generation, heat dissipation, water re-circulation, and more. All while your astronauts conduct scientific experiments to earn money and research new technologies. Over time, these new technologies will help you expand your station and increase its efficiency.



Reaching certain milestones will allow you to progress into new eras of spaceflight, unlocking new research opportunities, equipment designs, launch vehicles, music, and more.

Technologies like asteroid mining and orbital hydroponics will help reduce your reliance on expensive resupply shipments from Earth. One day it could be the Earth relying on you!

  Career Mode: Out Now!

  Today I am very pleased to release the first iteration of Space Station Continuum's Career Mode. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32324727/9983171ad4b0206103059a65513697bcb5329c75.png This early version of Career Mode will see you take one small step towards building an independant orbital research Station. You'll begin during the Apollo era, with limited resources and technologies available to you. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32324727/3ca1c7cdb20d7194cfb394711ed37c4f70c73d01.png You'll need to keep your crew of Astronauts happy and healthy while they complete Research Contracts to earn money to expand your station. This is the biggest update to Space Station Continuum since it released into Early Access in June, and it includes: Career Mode! New music inspired by the style of the 1990's. The first phase of a major UI overhaul. An updated tutorial including instructions for the new research system. Many other fixes, tweaks, and improvements. New items to use in Sandbox Mode, including: Placeable asteroids Inflatable Modules An Animated Module Printer {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32324727/c201e5be8d88019112cd31f18870c8fd5359f260.png As we end 2020 I want to extend a personal thank you to all of you who've played Space Station Continuum this year, and especially to the members of our Discord Community (join us and say hello!). You all make working on Space Station Continuum a real joy, and I can't wait to deliver more new features in 2021. And if you haven't played it yet there's never been a better time, as Space Station Continuum is 25% off for the duration of the Steam Winter Sale! https://store.steampowered.com/app/700060/Space_Station_Continuum/ If you'd like to support the game even more and you haven't got it already, consider picking up a copy of the Space Station Continuum Soundtrack - now with even more great music! https://store.steampowered.com/app/1231080/Space_Station_Continuum_Soundtrack/ And as always, if you spot any bugs (I'm sure there are many!) please let us know on Discord or in...

  Career Mode Sneak Peek: UI Evolution

  Greetings, Commanders! Today I'd like to talk about one of the many things we're working on as part of the upcoming Career Mode update: UI Evolution. Space Station Continuum takes place across a wide range of time periods. From the latter days of the Apollo program to the near future of commercial spaceflight. As you progress through these different time periods many things will change. You'll unlock new spacecraft, new technologies, and new design styles for your station modules and everything within them. But these changes won't be limited to just the objects that your Astronauts interact with. Why shouldn't the technology that you use change as well? Each time you progress from one era of spaceflight to the next, Space Station Continuum's user interface will update to reflect the design styles and computer display technologies of the time. Slide rules, oscilloscopes, and LCDs are all things you can expect to see if you spend enough time in Career Mode. There's a lot of design work going into creating the right style for each era, and today I want to share with you an early example of some Apollo era UI elements that are going into the first iteration of Career Mode. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32324727/6c49ac7cb4118d6df3fb6d9c803a5b2371392335.png What's a Space Shuttle doing in the Apollo era?? Oh, you must be in sandbox mode... The various elements of the Apollo era UI are heavily inspired by NASA control rooms of the time. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32324727/4a105561c53df94b338a875779d809163bec1b17.jpg Image by NASA - http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/gallery/images/apollo/apollo11/html/s69-40301.html We're working hard to create an accurate representation of historical design styles while making a usable UI that fits with the art style of the game. I'm very pleased with how the results are turning out so far. What do you think? Are there any old, new, or futuristic designs and technologies you'd like to see incorporated into the UI of a particular time period? Thanks! - John

  What's next? Career Mode.

  It's been almost three months now since Space Station Continuum launched into Early Access. Since then it's been played by hundreds and hundreds of people, and continues to build a strong community on Discord. If you've already bought a copy of Space Station Continuum while it's in Early Access, then I want to say thank you so much for joining us in creating this game. Your support is making a huge difference to the development of Space Station Continuum, and is allowing us to create a lot more music and art to realise its original vision. More on both of these coming soon. Since launch, there have been eight updates released here on Steam. Each bringing a variety of new features, improvements, and bug fixes. Many of which have come directly from your feedback in the Steam Community Forum or on Discord. At this point in development we're changing things up a little. Rather than small, incremental updates every week or two, we're now working on a large new update that will bring a whole collection of new features together. The most important of these features is Career Mode. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32324727/87d3785b31f5fd94dd8ff361680755e03a45bf10.png Warning: Developer Assets! Career Mode is where the core gameplay of Space Station Continuum will start to come together. You'll begin building your Space Station from a single Module, and evolve it over time into a spawling in-orbit research and manufacturing facility. When the first version of Career Mode launches, you'll be able to earn money and research points to expand your station and unlock new modules and equipment. You'll need to keep your Astronauts happy and healthy, while balancing power generation, energy storage, and heat dissipation onboard your Station. The Career Mode update will include many UI improvements to help you make this possible. Post-launch updates will add more and more equipment and progression milestones, until eventually you're able to manage your Space Station all the way through the past, p...

  v0.200831.1 Release Notes: Notifications

  There's a lot going in under the hood in Space Station Continuum. Sometimes it can be difficult to know what exactly one of your Astronauts is doing, or why a system or a piece of equipment is behaving in a certain way. v0.200831.1 begins the process of surfacing more information about the underlying simulation by introducing the Notifications Panel. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/32324727/2c2b8f90740d73efb892484ec92618dec92e103c.png The Notifications Panel can be shown/hidden at any time by clicking on the tab at the bottom of the panel. Important events such as Astronaut activities, supply shortages, or energy storage depletion will be highlighted here with a timestamped notification. More and more notifications will be added in future updates to expose further information about your Station. You'll also notice that the time display and control panel have received a bit of a makeover - adding a day readout to the display and moving the panel to the top-left corner to make room for the Notifications Panel. As always, if you notice anything unusual with this update please report it in the Bug Report Thread. And don't forget to join us in the Space Station Continuum Discord Server for discussions about the game and all things space! Thanks! - John
