Q: Where is feature/block “X” (Wheels, Weapons, Mechanical Blocks, Oxygen & Airtightness etc.)?
A: We’d love to have them in the game right now too! Some features need more time and testing to reach the quality we aim for. You can check our updated roadmap for an overview of what’s coming next and when you can expect your favorite features to arrive.

Q: What about multiplayer?
A: Because multiplayer only works if the core systems are solid first. If we added MP now, you’d have multiplayer but no real gameplay to use it with – and we’d just rewrite everything later.

We’re starting with 4-player co-op because it’s easier to stabilize, and full MP will follow once the foundations are ready.

Q: And NPCs?
A: NPCs are planned for VS4, alongside the first multiplayer implementation.

Q: Will the price of Space Engineers 2 rise later down the line?
A: Yes. Space Engineers 2 is still in the playable Alpha stage, and the current price reflects that. As we add more content, systems, and features leading up to the full release, we expect the price to increase.
We do not have exact timing or pricing details to share yet, but if you want to join early and support development, now is the best time to get Space Engineers 2 at the current lower price!

Q: Can I skip the block progression? I just want to build!
A: For now, we’d love you to play and test the colonization and contract systems, and share your feedback during this foundation phase of the game. Let us know – are we on the right track? Can we start expanding on these systems, or do they need more improvements?
Later on, we’ll add a true sandbox experience option to turn off mission-based block progression and start with the full set of building options right from the beginning.

Q: Can planets be modded? 
A: Planet modding is not fully supported at this stage of development – but do not worry, we will bring you modding support for planets in the future updates!

Q: Should I purchase Space Engineers 2 now?
A: Space Engineers 2 is available now in Playable Alpha. If you’re excited about what’s already in the game and want to help shape its future, now is a great time to join. Buying early directly supports development and lets you influence the direction of SE2.

You can follow development through our weekly dev diaries, subscribe to our newsletter, and add the game to your Steam Wishlist.
