Orefarer Play

A shared frontier.
A ship of your own.

Explore a shared space frontier in your browser. Mine and build independently, or trade with other players to grow your operation. Pursue your own goals or climb the leaderboards through your contributions to the Directorate.

Orefarer exploration map with surveyed asteroids, a travelling ship, and deposit details.
A coordinate map to explore, one journey at a time.

Find it. Mine it.
Make something of it.

Start with a ship and a place in a growing shared world. Survey new coordinates, compare deposits, and decide what deserves a spot in your cargo hold.

Back at a station, refine your haul, print components, and fabricate equipment. Trade with other players or put your materials toward the next Directorate project.

  1. A good deposit is worth the trip.

    Chart unfamiliar coordinates and discover asteroids with different materials and qualities. Find a useful resource region and plan your next haul.

  2. Ore is only the beginning.

    Turn raw resources into refined materials, printed components, and mining equipment. Fit a better laser, work toward a bigger ship, and put hauling drones to work.

  3. Leave more than a trail.

    Deliver supplies to communal projects. Help open stations, expand shared facilities, and earn credits and Directorate standing for your contribution.

For the quietly ambitious.

If you enjoy finding a useful resource, planning a production chain, or watching a shared project come together, there’s work here for you.

Refining, printing, and fabrication turn a haul into useful equipment.

Small decisions.
Satisfying progress.

Choose what to mine, what to keep, and what to make next. Production queues and automatic hauling give your plans room to unfold.

The appeal is in the details: a better deposit, a more useful loadout, another step toward the ship you’ve been saving for.

Active Directorate projects showing maintenance and frontier survey material requirements.
Individual deliveries add up to a larger station network.

Build your place
in the frontier.

Mine your own materials and make your own equipment, with no need to trade or team up. Or embrace the player market: sell your surplus and buy what you need for your next project.

Contribute to Directorate projects to earn standing and climb the lifetime and 30-day leaderboards. Work toward your own goals, join the competition, or help build the next station.

There’s ore out there.

Take your ship out. See what you find.
