MineEngineer is a 2D space-survival sandbox where engineering, exploration, and creativity collide in a universe full of planets, asteroids, and unknown dangers.
You start alone in the void with only basic tools and a fragile survival pod. From there, you'll mine resources, explore planets, fend off threats, and build bases and ships piece by piece — exactly the way you imagine them.
Multiplayer — A Living, Shared Universe
Spawn into a vast universe alongside other players and write your own story:
- Survive together or alone — explore endless space side by side or carve out your own corner
- Hide, scavenge, and outsmart — some players live as ghosts, looting wrecks and avoiding contact
- Cooperate and build factions — team up to construct massive stations, fleets, and industrial complexes that no single player could ever finish alone
- Trade, betray, or wage war — the relationships you forge (or break) shape your universe
- Endless possibilities — every server tells a different story
Whether you want peaceful co-op engineering with friends or high-stakes PvP across hostile sectors, the choice is always yours.
️ Build Anything You Want
Create bases and ships of any shape, size, or purpose. Your imagination sets the limits — and the engineering systems decide whether your creation actually flies.
⚙️ Engineering That Feels Real
A full conveyor, power, and connection system drives everything you build. Blocks must be placed and connected correctly. Building is easy. Building something beautiful is harder. Building something that works is harder still. Building something that works efficiently and optimally — that is the true engineer's challenge.
Every ship and base lives on three layers:
- Aesthetics — is it beautiful?
- Function — does it actually work?
- Optimization — is it efficient, balanced, and built to outperform?
True engineers chase all three.
Powerful Blocks & Modules
Unlock and place functional blocks that give your ship its personality and purpose. Add thrusters, refineries, storage, weapons, and more. Upgrade your designs as you discover better materials and rarer technology.
Survival, Crafting, and Progression
Explore space, collect rare resources, refine them into useful materials, and craft the gear that keeps you alive.
Find → Obtain → Refine → Survive → Assemble → Build → Improve
Enemies and Events
Aliens, space pirates, and rival players will raid your base, hunt your ship, or strip your stations for parts. Hide, defend, or fight back — the choice is always yours.
A Vast, Living World to Explore
- Enormous open solar system with unique planets — each with its own biomes, weather, and dangers
- Procedurally generated asteroids of every size and rarity — from tiny rock chunks to colossal, resource-rich mountains
- Natural and artificial gravity for truly immersive movement
- Dozens of resources, each with specific rarity, purpose, and crafting value
- A wide arsenal of engineering blocks, each with unique mechanics tied to the progression loop
- Full survival mechanics — oxygen, power, damage, health, and environmental hazards
No two places feel the same, and the deeper you go, the more valuable — and deadly — everything becomes.
️ Bases & Ships
All structures use a grid system — place blocks, connect them, power them, and bring them to life.
- Bases (Static Grids) — built on asteroids, planets or in space. Perfect for storage, factories, power, and safe zones.
- Ships (Dynamic Grids) — fully mobile constructions powered by thrusters. Ideal for travel, cargo, mining, combat, and
exploration.
Your Engineering Journey
To survive and progress, you'll master the full engineering loop:
1. Mine ores from asteroids and planets
2. Refine them into ingots
3. Craft advanced materials
4. Weld and assemble blocks
5. Build bases and ships with power, oxygen, and fuel systems
6. Optimize, upgrade, and conquer
Every step brings you closer to mastering the universe.
