Auto-Astra blends voxel-based construction with deep 4X automation. Design ships and stations, then write or use pre-made LUA scripts to automate your galactic empire. Strip asteroid belts, manage trade routes, and program tactical responses to enemy threats. Your logic, your empire.
Auto-Astra
SteamAuto-Astra is a voxel-based 4X space strategy game where you design, build, and program every aspect of your galactic empire.
Create or use LUA scripts created by the community to automate every mining operation, trading routes or battles in the war against enemy factions.
From custom-built mining ships up to mother ship sized carriers, your code for the win. But don’t be afraid if you don’t know to code (yet), highly configurable prepared scripts can be used to get into the world of automation as easy as using a toaster.
In Auto-Astra the scripts you are running are your ultimate weapon. Every ship and station is controller by the scripts you coded or downloaded from the community. Write or change that code, control huge fleets and rule the galaxy..

Unleash your inner visionary in a galaxy where every structure is born from a single voxel. In Auto-Astra, you aren't just a pilot; you are the master architect of your own destiny. Every ship in your fleet, from the smallest scout to a colossal, continent-sized mothership, is designed and constructed block by block.


Write LUA scripts that mine, trade, scout, and fight for you.
