In my quest to find awesome games that aren’t well known, I came across StarSector a couple of weeks ago and I can’t put it down. It is the same addition that I had with Factorio and Balatro in recent times.

However, when I started looking into it, I had already heard about it back in 2013/2014 under the name of Starferer and it was great to see that it was still being worked on.

What an amazing game/project as I’m sure many of you might agree. The lore, the gameplay and the atmosphere is great.

But I have to admit, digging my teeth into the mods for QoL and trying to get Java23 to game the game to work was as fun as the game.

My questions to you are:

  • How did you come across StarSector
  • A favourite moment while playing
  • What other games that you have played/heard come close to this?

    Man, I haven’t played that since it was released, but I remember it being absolutely amazing. I should check it out again, but with the RimWorld release today I think I’ll be busy for a while…

      Rimworld the game that I have over 500 hours and still dont know how to play it but I love it. I heard that the minimum amount of hours to get the game is about 1000 (/s).

      So that’s why all my mods are out of date! I haven’t played in over a year and today I got a sudden urge to start a game. I thought it was weird that so many mods weren’t compatible but now I know why.
