• Update Preview - Extractor Pods, Trade Nexus Upgrades & Level 6 Content - 6 October 2026

  Hello Pioneers, Since our first Community Update, you've shared a lot of feedback about SpaceCraft's progression, and we'd like to share the vision guiding our upcoming updates. SpaceCraft begins with exploration and hands-on mining aboard your ship. As you progress, your space bases let you automate more and more of your production. Manual mining will always keep its purpose, while automation gives you the freedom to choose where you spend your time. We want the endgame to reward strategy, efficient production and the way you organize your operations, especially as your resource needs grow. Your feedback is helping us shape that experience. Last week, we gave you a first look at our visual improvements. Today, we're revealing new content built around strategy, automation and the SpaceCraft community! Extractor PodsOptimize your mining strategy and let your Extractor Pods do the work fo…
