About Space Haven

✦ AI summary

Build and manage a custom spaceship tile-by-tile while keeping your crew alive through oxygen management, temperature control, and careful attention to their physical and mental needs. Survive tactical combat, explore derelict ships, rescue frozen crew members, and navigate encounters with alien species and rival factions as you search for humanity's new home.

Embark on a space voyage with your ragtag crew of civilians in search of a new home. Build spaceships tile by tile, create optimal gas conditions, manage the needs and moods of their crew, encounter other space-faring groups, and explore the universe in this spaceship colony sim.
  • Customize - Complete freedom to build a spaceship or station of your own desire. Place every piece of ship hull, wall, door and facility wherever you want.
  • Functional - All facilities serve a purpose. Crew members will sleep in beds, use toilets, be disturbed by a noisy room and praise you for an arcade machine.
A functional spaceship can be built tile-by tile, giving you the opportunity to shape a spaceship of your own desire. It can be symmetric and streamlined, or an asymmetrical whimsical looking thing. It does not have to look like a conventional spaceship depicted in sci-fi literature, you are free to design your own, the choice is yours!
  • Oxygen and CO2 - Keep optimal Oxygen and CO2 levels by building life support modules for your crew members.
  • Hazardous gases - Certain facilities and explosions can release hazardous gases. Build scrubbers to purify the air.
  • Temperature and power - Build thermal regulators to maintain an ideal temperature for your crew. Build power nodes and set up power distribution throughout the ship.
  • Comfort - Building a bed right next to the ship core will disturb sleep. Design your ship for crew comfort.
The isometric tile-based gas system simulates various gases, temperature and crew comfort on your spaceship. Humans, plants and facilities react to the conditions surrounding them, giving meaning to how you design your ship and the living conditions you create. Secure facilities, optimize crew survival and well-being, but also think of possible future accidents and chaos generated from crew combat or environmental hazards.
  • Skills and traits - Every crew member has their own set of skills and traits. A wimp might get scared shooting a gun, while an iron-stomach can eat anything unaffected.
  • Mood - A happy crew member needs food, sleep, comfort, safety and friends. Take something away and their mood will be affected.
  • Conditions - Crew members might feel adventurous, suffer from starvation, feel unhygienic, or they simply ate too much. Various conditions affect how they feel.
  • Mental breaks - When the stress is too much for a crew member they may suffer a mental break. Some will vent themselves out of the air lock, while others might start a fight.
In Space Haven characters aren't mere robots. The game simulates needs, moods, health and skills of your crew members and they develop relationships with each other. Their past life occupation and hobbies will affect their skills and know-how, and they have both positive and negative traits. Witness joyful moments, depression, and drama surrounding different crew members as you journey onward seeking a new home.
  • Away missions - Equip your crew members and organize away teams to explore derelict ships or visit stations or spaceships of other factions.
  • Draft - Draft and move your crew members to attack enemies and save their friends.
  • Inventory - Each crew member has their own unique inventory. Equip them with pistols, rifles, grenades and more.
Equip your crew with space suits and weapons and organize away teams to explore derelict ships and stations. Explore and salvage resources and items; find activated cryopods with someone frozen inside. Visit spaceships or stations of other factions and find data logs telling stories of past spacefarers searching for a new home.
  • Crew combat - Engage in combat with enemy factions or an alien species.
  • Aliens - Watch aliens incapacitate your crew members and capture them alive. See them suffer in the alien lair and decide if you want to try to save them or not.
Aliens capture your crew members and cocoon them against walls in their base. See them suffer in the alien lair and decide if you want to save them or not. Explore derelict ships and discover someone from the original crew of the ship captured by the aliens. Events like these create interesting back stories to new arrivals to your crew.
  • Battlestations - Watch your crew take battlestations as you engage the enemy in ship-to-ship battle. See your crew load turrets with projectiles, put out fires from explosions, patch hull breaches and repair vital facilities in the midst of battle.
  • Tactical - Target the enemy ship engine and stop them from fleeing. See them do the same to you. Engage their turrets directly or try to focus on the enemy ship core and see their ship go pitch black. Build shields to protect your most vital segments of your ships.
Build turrets and engage in tactical ship-to-ship combat, where a hit and explosion could cause a snowball effect of fire, smoke, hazardous gases and even hull breaches for either party. All crew members need to work together to win the battle.
  • Cryopods - Protect your crew from side-effects of Inter-stellar travel. Place crew members into stasis to freeze the progression of a disease or to await rescue.
  • Medical - Treat crew members for injuries, wounds and diseases. Medical conditions affect crew members in various ways.
Your crew members will become wounded in battles and might catch a serious disease. Set up a medical room, scan for diseases and foreign masses and have your best doctor tend to illnesses and perform surgeries. Hope that your doctor is not absent minded and leaves a surgical tool inside.
  • Generated galaxy - Explore a new procedurally generated galaxy each playthrough, with planets, asteroids, stations and spaceships of other factions.
  • Factions - Interact with various factions all trying to survive and establish dominance their own way. Meet pirates, merchants, slave traders, cultists and more and develop relationships with each.
  • Resources - Mine for raw resources and refine them to building materials. Trade resources with other groups you meet.
Explore a new procedurally generated galaxy each new playthrough, with various factions all trying to survive and establish dominance their own way. You'll meet pirates, slavers, merchants, cults, androids and more. Jump into hyperspace, seek out resources and meet various groups and develop your relationship with them.

Cool things that can happen in Space Haven:

  • Gain a new crew member by finding a activated cryo chamber aboard a derelict ship.
  • Have a space burial for your fallen crew member to let other crew members say good bye.
  • Grow plants with bio mass and water recycled from toilets.
  • Eat the meat from a fallen crew member or an invader if desperation is high.
  • Watch aliens capture your crew member and cocoon them to a wall in their lair. Will you go save them or leave them there?

It's like trying to explain to someone whose never played a Colony Simulator on what a Colony Simulator is like

the game just doesn't feel very well balanced. it is a spiritual combination of rimworld with vibes from oxygen not included and FTL. unfortunately unlike all of these games, this game does not allow for much creative freedom besides the cosmetics and layout of your ship. 10+ hours into a run on normal difficulty i was still struggling with resources to the point i ended up failing. the core resource loop is around food for colonists and 5 main building blocks (early to mid game); hull, infra, tech, and energy. i was consistently out of at least 3 of these constantly and even after looting the entire starting area i could not afford enough sleep pods to let me survive the mid zone. looking back i can see where i went wrong or where i could have improved my run, however this happened 4 separate times. 4 runs ranging from 2 hours (immediately after tutorial) to 10+ (my fourth run). i lost patience after i figured id have to do the early game for a fifth time in a row, i would have tried save scumming, but once you realize you have made a mistake it is too late to go back. i understand the semi-rouguelike format (something similar to oxygen not included) where you get better every t…

Bought it years ago, checked in every couple months or so because I like the genre and general idea of the features the game covers. During early access quit at various points because I either got overwhelmed having to expand my ship block by block minecraft style, while at the same time survival was always seconds away from snowballing into death. And even just getting the basics up and running of survival with food/water/oxygen, surviving exploring derelicts, surviving attacks from other ships, getting required research done is already a much larger challenge than it should be. Now some time after release, 100h of playtime from early access behind me, I wanted to check it out again. Onboarding is much more polished than it used to be. The main quest seems interesting enough while also providing guidance, so it seems like a good addition. Balancing clearly has been made easier, my starting group of 4 had no issues the first couple of days. But then suddenly, while doing the usual mining/derelict route, stuff on my ship starts catching fire. Just one machine burning down puts me at such a resource deficit that it's better to reload than trying to salvage that. Reload #1, trying …

Great game, detailed mechanics and interesting story. Wish they add more items for decorations and more weapons and gear in the future.

Only 11 hours in, but this is a game you play like rim world, but in space. Rimworld could learn something from this game about space travel.
