Edge Of Space

HandyMan Studios, Reverb Publishing | Released Oct 30, 2012

Survive, Fight, Explore, Terraform, Dig, and Build. In Edge Of Space you change the world to serve your needs in this unique mix of survival, defense, exploration, base building, Reactive world, dynamic sandbox.

At the Edge of Space, you will need all your wits about you.  Take your tools and start changing the dangerous world you have landed on. As one of the Elite ArkCo recruits, you must create outposts, power stations, weapons, gather resources, find lost technology, and turn the world into a livable environment.  Build a small bunker to a giant science station, and perhaps grab the attention of the lumbering Ark ship. 

Can you dominate the Edge of Space?

This represents the first installment of the “REBIRTH” of Edge Of Space.

    I would suspect you are either attempting to run in full screen, which has a bug at the moment, or that you are already running numerous processes. Check that windowed mode is selected, and check your running processes to be sure you do not have numerous EoS processes running in the background already.

    Another problem.. So I bought the game and joined a server everything was good then got sent back to the start menu without any warning or message, joined back and instantly got "kicked" again...

    Did I do something wrong? Lol.

    Just logged into Arkdrop and it says "Enter CD Key" so I'm assuming once I enter it I can
    log into Edge of Space with that account? Thanks for all the help, much appreciated! :)

    Edge of Space is already a fantastic game, and getting better every day. The amount of progress since Day 1 beta back in June is absolutely staggering, and I can't wait to watch it get even better

    Not really impressed by this so far, I think I might stick with starbound when it comes out soon, since the developers are already almost going to release it soon! This game wasn't much of a bang for your buck and wish I didn't spend the money.
