I have been deconstructing space ships for months now. I like how each spaceship is a little puzzle, and that there is some story involved.

Are there any similar cleanup/deconstructing games?

What are you playing that scratches a similar itch as hardspace?

    I love Shipbreaker, so I’m interested in others’ replies as well. It’s the only game I might actually consider breaking my ‘no paid DLC’ rule for if they ever put out more ships.

    Some ‘immersive sim’ games have a similar impression of segmented, defined processing tasks:

    • Mech Mechanic Simulator (more relaxed)
    • Space Mechanic Simulator (more detailed)
    • Ship Graveyard Sim (a bit silly)
    • Mess Sim (2D Viscera Cleanup)
    • Train Station Renovation (not so puzzle-y)
    • Leaf It Alone (more linear, not so puzzle-y)

    But there are also other games that can have the same ‘little puzzles’ impression.

    • Mars First Logistics (build modular bots to deliver stuff over rough martian terrain)
    • maybe Quarantine Zone, Contraband Police, and other Papers-Please-likes (non-horror anomaly spotting)
    • Tunnet (build a simplified computer network in underground tunnels with just a hint of Lovecraftian horror)
    • abstract programming games like Autonauts, Molek Syntez, or Infinite Turtles (You get As. Cut them into /s, \s, and -s, and then make Ws.)

      Ship Graveyard Simulator 2 is kinda meditative for me. The first one was meh but the sequel is pretty great, especially when you pop enough supports to trigger a massive collapse.
