To bring your people back from the brink of collapse, build modular stations out of the wreckage, manage a thriving crew of citizens, and manufacture vital resources. Make fuel and move your colonies across procedurally generated solar system in a massive N-body gravity simulator.  Built from scratch in Rust by a solo developer (that's me, Dave!), Stella Nova unravels as a living universe where you are the builder, the fighter, the politician. You will take helm of the reconstruction of a spacefaring civilization. The custom physics and rendering engine (WarpCore) is super lightweight, taking up less than 500mb on disk, and capable of rendering thousands of entities on screen without skipping a beat. Stella Nova features:<ul class="bb_ul"><li>Accurate Time Dilating Astrophysics Engine - Off-rails physics<ul class="bb_ul"><li>Stella Nova features a living and breathing universe with thousands of dynamic objects visible and adhering to real n-body orbital physics. A unique aspect of the rendering engine built from scratch is that the player has control over the flow of time, dilating and compressing the flow of time at will.</li></ul></li><li>Modular Station Construction (Crossword Puzzle Style)<ul class="bb_ul"><li>Create stations which are little factories that you will develop to automatically manufacture resources, with the help of your citizens, that is :)</li></ul></li><li>Colony Management<ul class="bb_ul"><li>Assign citizens to attend to various tasks to support the wellbeing of your colony.
