You are among the last surviving crew of a decimated interplanetary civilization. To bring your people back from the brink of collapse, build modular stations out of the wreckage, manage a thriving crew of citizens, and manufacture vital resources. Make fuel and move your colonies across procedurally generated solar system in a massive N-body gravity simulator. Built from scratch in Rust by a solo developer (that's me, Dave!), Stella Nova unravels as a living universe where you are the builder, the fighter, the politician. You will take helm of the reconstruction of a spacefaring civilization. The custom physics and rendering engine (WarpCore) is super lightweight, taking up less than 500mb on disk, and capable of rendering thousands of entities on screen without skipping a beat.
