Kardashev is a first-person, space set, procedural open world, factory building game. Your primary goal is to ascend the Kardashev Scale.
Everything in this game starts with the Miner. You place the Miner on asteroids, and use this block to mine raw ores. These raw ores can be used directly in production, but mostly they are processed into Ingots via the Refiner.
After you have assembled all the raw materials you need, you use the Fabricator to process these into either intermediate products, or other blocks that can be placed in the world. Intermediate products may be used in other Fabricator recipes, and so the complexity of your factory will quickly increase!
Logistics features heavily in this game, and so you will be using Transporters and Inserters to move items around your factory and to fulfil varying and complex recipes.
Explore the infinite procedural asteroid space world, harness as much energy as possible and build the largest factory that you can.
