News: You will get a chance to try out Space Trash Scavenger “soon” when it enters Steam’s popular early access program.

Paradox Interactive today announced a partnership with SquarePlay Games to publish Space Trash Scavenger under the Arc publishing label. They also announced that Space Trash Scavenger will launch into Steam Early Access soon and can be wishlisted on Steam now. Space Trash Scavenger is a survival base builder game that sends players to hunt for riches while defending their ever-expanding Space Rig.

In the pursuit of wealth in the 31st century, players join Scav-X, the galaxy’s number one waste disposal company. Players venture the galaxy’s procedurally generated asteroid fields, space-wrecks, and abandoned outposts to collect scrap and resources from the remnants of a once great civilization. Space Trash Scavenger offers a unique, 360-degree base building experience. Build out your Space Rig in any direction you choose, with factory-like automation and crop cultivation to grow your fortune and trade in an interstellar stock market.

It wouldn’t be waste management without pests; craft weapons and upgrade your spacesuit to defend your base against hordes of alien attackers. These dangerous bots patrol the debris and are drawn in greater numbers as your Space Rig expands.

Space Trash Scavengers Features:

Scavenge and trade: As an employee for the galaxy’s number one waste disposal firm, space trash is your main resource. Gain access to derelict facilities and space wrecks. Prise open maintenance panels, loot abandoned cargo or strip components off spaceship hulls. Recycle your haul into raw materials, or trade it at the Trash Exchange.

Space base building: Build your Space Rig - a 3D raft with artificial gravity, power, trash processing, farming and defense. Craft the everyday food, fuel, weapons, ammo and space suit upgrades you’ll need to survive. In space there is no up or down! Expand your base in any direction for the most efficient layout. Then use your jump drive to voyage to new salvage sectors.

Constant alien threat: You’re not alone amid the wreckage. Alien bots patrol, drawn in ever bigger numbers as your operation expands. You’ll need a steady aim, strong base defenses, and an upgraded armory to protect your Space Rig.

Proc-gen, zero G world: Circumnavigate tiny asteroids, fly between abandoned outposts and board derelict spaceships as they orbit the system. Then jump to the next sector! Each salvage zone is a procedurally generated, dynamic and ever-changing open world.
