About the Game
Star Birds is a relaxing asteroid base-building and resource management game where you help your population of spacefaring birds prosper and thrive. No matter if you're a genre veteran or want to get a foot into an oftentimes overwhelming space: the Star Birds will be happy to have you by their side. And not just because chaos would ensue very quickly without you.

Scan and claim nearby asteroids to mine resources ranging from ice and metals to rather obscure things. Build production facilities and automate the manufacturing of increasingly advanced goods. Deliver products to your space station to fulfill quests that satisfy the needs of your birds, however odd these might be. Establish transportation routes to create a bustling cosmic production network, advance your technology and ultimately take off to foreign star systems to pursue the mysteries of your galaxy!

360° Base Building
Place buildings on procedurally generated asteroids and build your own little worlds floating in space. Use each asteroid's unique shape and available surface to create the perfect production network. Take the role of a cosmic pioneer and strategically place and connect production facilities with hand-drawn-pipes to optimize your resource flow.
Explore and Experiment
Gather resources and explore different ways to transform and combine them into a variety of goods you're going to need for your mission. Investigate the asteroid's surface, overcome unforeseen obstacles and excavate mysterious artifacts.
Missions and Mysteries
Follow strange traces and lead your crew to uncover a big secret awaiting you in the far reaches of your galaxy. Explore and master the oddities of foreign star systems to conclude this adventurous journey.
Automate and Admire
Establish an ever-growing network of production chains throughout your star system. Improve and optimize, or sit back and watch the satisfying rhythm of your bustling space factory.
Collect and Complete
Fill your collection with all the things you find on your journey! Take on bonus challenges and earn shiny medals for perfecting your setup.
Set out for the stars!
Upgrade your space station and research advanced technologies. Unlock new production paths and increase their efficiency to start your journey into the unknown depths of space and uncover its mysteries!

With each side extending the other a wing, this collaboration has gone from bad puns about fruit to creating a colorful space mining operation that we're proud to send our birds on.
Speaking of: No birds were harmed in the creation of this game, we promise!

Patch Notes
☀️ Fixes & Improvements Based on Community Feedback
Bugfixes:
☀️ Sector 01: Fixed last tutorial step not triggering (outro dialogue not starting) when connecting the refiner to a launch pad before connecting it to a water extractor
☀️ Sector 03: Acid recipe now unlocks by default at the start of Level 03 to prevent module quests from stopping at station level 13 when level 14 is required for the Logistics achievement.
☀️ Sector 05.1: Fixed High Score 05.1 condition incorrectly rewarding the Star Bird 05.1 achievement, which made High Score 05.1 unobtainable.
☀️ Enter and Discover asteroid tooltips no longer render in front of the in-game menu, dialogues, or other UI elements.
☀️ Hovering over buildings is no longer detected when the building is obscured by UI (e.g. bug reporting or in-game menu screens).
☀️ Fixed music track skipping when alt + tabbing out of game while Run In Background is disabled.
☀️ Fixed an issue where deleting a Receiver sometimes caused two interplanetary connection lines to be drawn on top of each other, making it seem like one was missing.
Flying coin particles no longer freeze when opening the in-game menu.
Improvements:
☀️ Sector 04: Added an additional trigger to unblock ice extractor research. Previously, it only became available after starting the first Strangelet excavation quest. It now also becomes researchable when starting any quest that requests water, methane or acid.
Sector 04: The last excavation quest now grants +1 Strangelet, and there is a separate goal quest that rewards victory for obtaining 1 Strangelet.
☀️ Sector 07: Hid the recipe requiring conductor & feather to make thread so players focus on the simpler feather-in-refiner recipe instead.
Added tooltip to Edge Rotation Enabled setting in controls tab to make it clearer what it does: disabling the auto rotation of an asteroid while drawing paths or placing buildings (tooltip only in English and German for now).
☀️ Fixed some typos in German translation.
Version number now displays with a "v" prefix instead of "Version."
Improved tooltip positioning in the in-game menu.
Removed debug frame rates from the target frame rate dropdown.
Added a small delay before the loading screen disappears when starting a game from the menu to prevent the menu flashing for a frame before the game begins.
