The primary goal of the game is to build, explore, and survive in space.

So why is this game so beloved if it’s a technical challenge rather than ‘difficulty’ challenge? Like I said, there’s endless possibilities and the game embraces creativity and exploration. Though hardly impossible, it’s a challenge to get into but be warned – you won’t just be able to put it down once you’ve got the hang of it. Plus, at some level, this really is pretty much rocket science. It’s a hard game not because its unforgiving, nor because there’s challenging AI/difficulty spikes, but because there really are thousands of different approaches to take. Looking at my own hours, coupled with those of across different platforms, its not uncommon to see people breaching the thousand-hour mark. And then there’s Space Engineers that, both ingame and in real life, seems to be a blackhole of time consumption. Some of them are just straight addicting, while others seem to have endless content that, no matter how many hours you play there’s always more to do.

PC users will also have an easier time accessing Mod.io as support has been added to all in-game screens accessing the workshop.There are a few games that have felt impossible to put down over the past few decades of game development. If they're on dedicated servers, mods with scripts will run but only if they don't require client-side scripts. If the lobby is hosted on Xbox, the mods don't need scripts. Xbox mods will be available both in solo and multiplayer lobbies with some limitations. Fallout 4 was one of the first games to utilize mods on consoles but Space Engineers is one of the few to follow through on mod support for consoles. The latest update to Space Engineers will allow players the ability to mod on both Xbox and PC.

The team has added things like a creative mode, which allows players to do as they wish with unlimited resources, as well as a survival mode which forces the player to survive in the harsh conditions of outer space as they desperately try to claim whatever they can to continue to live. Space Engineers has grown over the last few years with tons of updates, making it similar to a more grounded space-based Minecraft. The space simulator has upped the ante and scale by increasing the potential for its very own engineers. The Xbox title Space Engineers is getting all kinds of new features such as mods and cross-play with PC.
