My Time Siphoned by This Factorio-Style Simulator Without Starship Crafting Yet
Exploring a management sim that demands your hours, yet leaves one curious for more intricate mechanics.
Today’s focus is on Outworld Station, a visually compelling assembly-line simulator that recently entered early access. The game revolves around the fun of converting basic materials from asteroids into more complex items through a series of interconnected machines.

The initial setup is straightforward. Players utilize their cursor to drag asteroids toward a furnace while erecting smelters to transform raw ores into ingots. These ingots further enable the production of advanced materials. The beauty lies not just in the mechanics but also in the immersive design, which maintains a sleek aesthetic without overwhelming the developers’ resources.
As you progress, management of resources and machine connections becomes increasingly challenging and engaging, enhancing the atmosphere of exploration as you navigate through derelict ships and battle hostile drones.
With each action, the game presents a satisfying rhythm, making the tedious task of manufacturing feel rewarding. Although the current gameplay is limited and doesn’t yet include advanced starship crafting, it has a unique charm that beckons for future developments.
Outworld Station is an excellent option for fans of management simulators eager for a fresh challenge. You can try the demo available on Steam.
