Stardeus

Stardeus takes the city-planning simulator into space, where there are no familiar objects. There are robotic systems, large ships and advanced artificial intelligence ready to help. The main character is this AI: he is tasked with bringing order to a large space cruiser. Along the way, he builds his own colony and introduces automation into all areas of life. Reactors and life support systems require supervision. Space systems are independent and live by their own rules. Events are generated randomly, so the passage is different every time. It is convenient to track the development of planets using graphs: this makes it easier to analyze the efficiency of the economy. Humans and robots work together for universal progress. Repair drones repair bulkheads. Trade ships bring rare resources. Freedom of choice remains with the player. The protagonist controls armies of drones and robots and is peaceful by default: he helps the settlement grow, gets smarter himself and accelerates technological progress. The second way is to keep people in stasis while the animated iron does everything for them. Air reserves are wasted while construction is underway. Automation schemes are assembled into chains. Crew diaries keep records of the past. The third option is much darker: turn into a merciless AI that sees people as living batteries. The fate of the crew depends on the decision made. This choice sets the tone for the entire game. Errors in circuits lead to downtime. Anyone who loves automation and space colonies will find this game perfect.
