Rimworld-inspired colony sim Stardeus gets a huge update representing a year’s worth of expansion and revision, with new tools for evil AI overlords
Stardeus, a Rimworld-inspired colony simulation game, has received a major early access update representing a year of development work. The update includes over 1500 individual fixes and substantial content additions, according to developer Kodo Linija.
The game tasks players with acting as an AI managing a severely damaged interstellar colony ship, directing drones to restore critical systems from a top-down perspective. The update introduces new mechanics and tools that expand what evil AI overlords can accomplish within the simulation.
Stardeus was previously highlighted in 2022 coverage that praised it as “a pleasant blend of interesting ideas that generate a mostly relaxing vibe,” earning a “one to watch” recommendation. This latest update demonstrates the developer’s commitment to expanding the game during its early access phase, adding significant depth to the colony management experience through both bug fixes and new gameplay features.
