Structura 1.0.1 Improved the beginning phase. Changelog: Asteroid depletion when using sentinel mining. Jump operation now requires monoliths. New sentinel operation and menu (hull repair). The unit starts with 0 matter, 0 antimatter, and 200 energy. Sentinel mining is now required to get resources at begin of game. Added Antimatter trap by default on sentinel mid modules (antimatter source). Depleted resources no longer make you lose the game instantly. Any resources at 0 will cause the hull to lose 1 hitpoint per tick. The emergency power state only consumes energy. New tutorial explaining how to mine asteroids, and kickstart the economy. Small fix for mouse over component panels.

Structura 1.0.0 is released!
This is an single player indie rts hybrid , with really unique mechanics,
and they say the genre is dead , i beg to differ :)
Graphics are a bit retro but with its own style.
This game is a strange beast and it took a lot of time to make.
Hope people will enjoy it, but be warned is not a casual game
and is not hand holding the player.
The tutorials are must, take your time to understand how it works.
Live long and prosper

Structura is a rather unique sci-fi real time strategy set in space.
Its a hybrid of rts and fps, emphasis on combat and survival
, the economy is important for the war effort.
You are the commander of a combat unit of the Human Resistance Fleet.
Build your economy for war, modify the unit by adding components,
explore, expand and survive the savage waves of enemies attacks.
Scan and destroy enemies, plan your defenses, jump the unit to safety.
Core features
Single-player open-world gameplay
Procedural generated world
Permadeath, there is no save
Multiple roles (fly the sentinel a combat strike ship, command the main base)
Space navigation by jumps (use the sentinel to create jump beacons for the base to jump)
Economy gameplay, prepare the unit for war.
Multiple ways to acquire resources
Base construction (the base can be expanded indefinitely, with enough resources available)
Your choices, many options, pick how you want to play
Survival gameplay
Difficulty high but fair once you learn the ropes
Interesting story, replayable
Story
Humanity fights for survival against an unknown and implacable enemy.
The human race as we know it doesn't exist anymore.
Humans survived as cybernetic simulations inside their combat vessels.
You are the commander of such unit (part of the Human Resistance Fleet).
HRF Structura , your ship, contains the simulated personalities of about 300 humans.
Your story begins here
Gameplay
Fight for survival.
The sentinel provides offensive/defensive capabilities.
The main base(known as the unit) can be expanded by using components
on 6 directions(left,right, up, down, front, back).
Each component is linked to the ship by one socket and one tunnel.
15 different components are available from economy to military purposes.
New units can be attached so the base can be expanded indefinitely
in any direction(providing enough resources).
Gather resources, fight, survive
