What is Starbound?

Starbound is a captivating 2D sandbox adventure game that launches players into an infinite procedurally generated universe filled with countless planets to explore. Developed by Chucklefish, this space-themed survival game combines exploration, combat, crafting, and building as players travel between worlds using their customizable starships. With over 2000+ in-game objects and hundreds of materials, players can construct everything from simple cabins to elaborate space stations and planetary colonies. The game features diverse biomes, unique alien lifeforms, challenging bosses, quest systems, and mech exploration for navigating asteroid fields and derelict ships. Players can choose between Casual, Survival, or Hardcore modes, each offering different levels of challenge and risk.

Running your own Starbound dedicated server gives you complete control over your multiplayer universe and community. Customize server settings, configure game modes, adjust difficulty parameters, and leverage extensive modding support through Steam Workshop or manual installation to add new races, items, planets, and quests. With full server access, you can host persistent universes where your community builds lasting colonies, explores together, and shares adventures across the cosmos. Our powerful hardware ensures smooth performance for complex builds and multiplayer exploration, while automatic backups protect your universe's progress.
