The first world
Live betaLOFI SPACE
A lawless asteroid belt on the edge of known space, broadcast live on YouTube. Every mining ship drifting between the rocks belongs to a real viewer. This page is the field manual.
The world
The belt is a top-down view of open space: slow-tumbling asteroids of every size, a deep starfield, and the mining fleet. The camera never cuts — what you see is a single continuous simulation, rendered in real time and streamed around the clock.
Ships fly with real thrust physics: engines at the back, so every turn is a swing wide and a burn home. When a ship finds a rock it likes, it settles into a drift alongside it and lights up its mining laser — a thin blue cutting beam with sparks flying where it bites into the rock. Big asteroids can host five or six ships at once, working side by side.
Your ship
Every pilot starts with the Hauler— the belt's workhorse. One main engine, one mining laser, and plenty of scars in the hull. Your pilot name floats under your ship in gold, visible to everyone watching the stream.
Your ship flies itself: it picks asteroids, mines them, and moves on. You are the owner, not the joystick — check in on the stream to watch it work, and spend what it earns.
Mining & progression
- ●Ore — every finished mining run credits resources to your account. Bigger rocks pay more.
- ●Experience — mining and workshop purchases grant XP. Levels follow a square-root curve: early levels come fast, mastery takes time.
- ●The workshop— trade ore for reinforced hulls, extra cargo pods, and Mk II / Mk III mining lasers. A whole new ship class, the Heavy Hauler, arrives at public launch.
- ●Presence — a /ready keeps your ship in the belt for one hour. Type it again any time to reset the clock; when it runs out, your ship flies home on its own.
Chat commands
The live chat is the cockpit. Commands work once your YouTube channel is linked (that happens automatically when you sign in with Google).
Getting started
- Sign in with Google — your pilot is created automatically and your YouTube channel is linked. (During the beta, access is by invitation — email us to become a test pilot.)
- Open the live stream on our YouTube channel.
- Type /ready in the chat and watch your ship fly in.
- Follow your earnings on your dashboard and upgrade in the workshop.
