Current build

Two planets of ground under it

The current build spans two planets — Skatboll’s 11-hex local map and Stillreach’s 8-hex-big one. Move between locations, find useful material, put it through the right work, and make the wreck more capable one job at a time.

The current build

What RuneSpace already supports

Explore

Travel between locations across two planets — 11 hexes on Skatboll, 8 big ones on Stillreach — read the local Map, follow your Journey, and scavenge along the route.

Work

Mine Ferrite Shale at The Jag, refine it at the Abandoned Processing Yard, take paying work orders at Rusk Recovery, and weld the Cargo Hold back into service.

Gear up

Keep your carried material in order, equip the Salvage Cutter, and manage the ship’s Inventory, Equipment, and Cargo Hold.

Progress

Take on authored missions, meet Wade, Tansy, and the Wise Old Enby, attune Echo Seekers at the Resonance Rig, and build Mining, Refining, Welding, Fabrication, and Runeworking — five skills, each with content through level 8.

Connect

The game stays alive between runs: game-wide chat channels, 1:1 Whispers, and trade requests that land as pinned cards.

Mobile + desktop

Same game. Pocket size.

RuneSpace runs in the browser on your phone and your desktop — same character, same wreck, no install. The interface rearranges; nothing is cut.

Holo Hollow / Crash Site

Make the wreck worth keeping.

You came down hard at the Crash Site, in the mud at the edge of Holo Hollow. The ship is damaged, the ground is unfamiliar, and the useful parts are scattered between a few rough locations.

Wade Rusk knows recovery and field repairs. His niece Tansy knows ferrite and the local work. Between them, there is a route from salvage to material to a ship that can hold together.

Development status

Under active development. Expanding regularly.

RuneSpace is under active development. The current build is a focused early-game slice, so expect rough edges, frequent changes, balance shifts, and occasional resets as Skatboll and Stillreach grow.
