About UNIT 42: Adrift in Space

Unit 42: Adrift In Space is a 2D space-themed video game that blends exploration with management and automation. The game focuses on resource gathering, crafting, and constantly upgrading your ship. Your mission is to take command of Unit 42, a modular ship that you will need to repair, expand, and improve in order to progress and complete your final objective.

GATHER

Explore regions and collect everything you find. You can extract materials from asteroids, salvage the hulls of abandoned ships, and recover their components. You will also have automatic collection capsules at your disposal that you can send out to bring back resources. If you're missing something, you can always try trading with the various extraterrestrial entities that populate the galaxy.

CRAFT

Turn the raw materials you've gathered into useful materials and components. Crafting is the key to progressing. You'll be able to build everything from simple repair parts to complex modules. Creating more advanced materials will allow you to manufacture new and better capsules, which in turn will give you access to new possibilities to continue your mission.

RECRUIT

Space is full of life, and you won't be alone on your journey. Along the way, you'll encounter different beings and entities, each with unique abilities and specialties. Invite them to join your crew. Having them on board will not only keep you company but also provide crucial help in managing the ship and overcoming challenges.

AUTOMATE

Once your ship starts to grow, you'll need help managing everything. You'll be able to manufacture more advanced capsules that include space for crew and special functions. The goal is to create a system that runs on its own. Automate gathering and production so that resources keep coming in and factories never stop, allowing you to focus on more important aspects.

CHOOSE YOUR PATH

The galaxy is huge and full of opportunities. Use the map to plot your route and decide which regions of space to visit. Each area has its own resources and special events.

COMPLETE YOUR MISSION

Your main objective is to maintain and grow Unit 42. But why are you there? While you make sure the ship is running and your crew is safe, you'll have the option to follow the threads of the main story and work to fulfill the original mission that brought you to space. Or, if you prefer, you can ignore it and simply watch your resource stockpile grow.

MADE BY A SINGLE DEVELOPER

The programming, graphics, and music are all handcrafted and original to this video game. Made with Godot Engine.

GET INVOLVED

Although the game's concept is defined, feedback is always appreciated, both for fixing potential bugs and for improving any aspect of the game.

Wow, this is a seriously fun game. It's charming, cozy, and perfectly captures the feeling of extended space travel that I really look for in a lot of sci-fi games. A perfect game to play after a long day at work. All of the characters have interesting personalities, resource collecting is satisfying and punchy, and the progression...oh boy, the progression. To say it is addicting is an understatement. You're always so close to the next research opportunity that adds a new module or upgrades an existing one. I think this game strikes a really good balance between idle aspects (like sending your probes out to gather materials) and active aspects, like shooting asteroids with your punchy turret or clicking to convert debris into components. I also like how you can pick paths for your ship that influence what kinds of materials may be available to you. I was just going to give this a quick try, but before I knew it, an hour had flown by. Highly recommend this game for anyone who loves the feeling of doing lots of activities onboard a ship as it travels through space. Well done by the devs. I didn't notice any bugs or issues, so this can be considered a highly polished game …

ok first perfect price for the game got more out of it than whats i paid, second, if you have a starship theory itch this helps scratch the ♥♥♥♥ out of it, it's a little slow, not crazy intuative, the ui could be better, and the rescource list should be in the top left or right, since thats where useual peoples eyes fall, but instead it's in the bottom left, which will be making you search dor it from time to time, besides that runs really well, doesn't have much discriptors, but hay it's an early access, but it's really good, and is worth the price
