Here is a brief description of the game from its own subreddit:
The game currently features 2 modes: Survival and Creation. Creation is more for pure builders that don’t want to be bothered with gathering the required resources to build. Survival requires resource gathering, which is mostly mining asteroids for various types of ore and then refining ore into ingots.
There is also some exploration, where abandoned ships or stations can be found. The game itself is actually quite surprising, and it has weekly patches. If anyone is interested in playing, let me know.
Yeah, you can break stuff down, but the servers are fairly small(1 to 16 players). When you create a server, you can choose to allow public to join, or set it to friends only. As long as you’re not letting randoms join, intentional destruction shouldn’t be a problem.
