== General Game Information == === What operating systems does the game run on? === *Windows: On Windows all user data is written to %appdata%\Avorion (Roaming folder on the system partition) *Linux: All user data is written to ~/.avorion *A Mac version is planned, but there is no release date for it yet. === How is this game different from games like StarMade or Space Engineers? === *Avorion's focus is shifted more towards spending time flying around in your ships, rather than crafting and building. *It's played in 3rd person and the ships are laid out to be big, so you won't be flying the small one-man fighters, but the larger battleships. *There's less block micro-management, but in turn more ship management, like crews, energy systems, multiple ships and fighters. Think of your ship as a character in an RPG, that you can customize, upgrade and specialize with various turrets, blocks and system upgrades. *Avorion has a lot of space combat. Enemies drop loot, resources, different weapons or ship upgrades. There's a trading system where you can haul cargo, smuggle or raid other freighters. You will find NPC traders and stations like factories that buy, produce and sell goods. *Avorion features procedurally generated space ships and stations. You can even let your own ships be generated by the game or check out the workshop if you're not the building type of person. *All ships and stations will be made of blocks of arbitrary sizes. This allows for more creative freedom, easier building, less voxels and better scaling of large ships. You will be able to build huge ships without having to use thousands of blocks. === Are micro transactions planned? === - No. We prefer the classical, more consumer-friendly approach where you buy a game and then you play it. We want to keep Avorion micro transaction free! === Do you need help with localizations? === - We'd love that! Our community already started to translate the game into several languages. You are very welcome to join in on translate.avorion.net. === How can I support the game? === - We made it possible to donate via [https://www.avorion.net/buy/ paypal]. While donations are welcome, they're absolutely not necessary! Just have fun with the game, give us feedback on our forums or write mods. Also, tell your friends! === Where can I find more info about the game? === - Have look at our [https://www.avorion.net/ Homepage]. Here you can find the latest news, trailers and more general information. If you'd love some input from other players check out our community on [https://discord.gg/FFnSFFX Discord], our official [https://www.avorion.net/forum/ forum], [https://www.reddit.com/r/Avorion Reddit] or [https://steamcommunity.com/app/445220/discussions/ Steam]! === Will we be able to land on planets? === - No, landing on planets would require completely new types of content generation and gameplay. We want to focus on the space part of the game, and make that great! === Will we be able to walk around in our ships? === - No, sorry. The efforts of making explorable ship interiors are more or less the same as making an entire second game. We don't think we'd ever get that right in a way we and you would be satisfied with it. As stated above, we want to focus on the flying-around part of the game.
