Space Haven 1.0 Review: A Brutal, Brilliant Colony Sim Worth the Ten-Year Wait (gameloop.gg)

After nearly a decade of development and years in Early Access, Space Haven finally reaches 1.0. Bugbyte’s sci-fi colony simulator delivers exceptional ship customization, tense survival systems, and some of the best emergent storytelling in the genre, even if its complexity still demands patience.

If it turns out Space Haven doesn't have a peaceful option (I believe they don't really support mods either), check out Stardeus.

You can definitely get Stardeus to be peaceful or with limited combat. I have about 200 hours in Stardeus and I like how you can build out enormous spaceships (the spaceship map size seems a lot bigger than in Space Haven).

I do admit that Space Haven has nicer graphics.

I also play with almost no combat, as I treat Stardeus as more of a economic strategy and building game (e.g. highly efficient designs that also are aesthetically pleasing and not just a rectangle).

I am also actually curious about your question.

I will look at Stardeus too. Thanks! Maybe I'll get Space Haven soon and keep following Stardeus for a while since they are currently redoing the UI. I might take a look at Stardeus demo since they seem to have one.
