Lost in Space
You are an astronaut stranded in space. Your spaceship is unresponsive, and the only thing you have is the 3D printer that can turn energy into matter. Can you win the race against the supply of oxygen which depletes with your every click, and eventually escape?
Made for Summer Incremental Game Jam 2023 in cooperation with 3^3=7, IznirLafrite and Classified39.

Has anybody else been having issues where crafting things sometimes consumes a thing instead? I'm doing the sudoku again (this if my 4th playthrough) and I'll print a memory card, only to find I've gone *down* a memory card when I go to actually imprint the numbers
If you open the door to the generator without collecting the scrap it disappears.
hi, i saved the game, then when i tried to load it, it just loads the beginning
Sorry, loading does not work inside iFrame. Try right-clicking to open it in a separate window, and importing it there. After that, you should be able to return to the game page.
That was fun. Maybe a bit too easy since I beat it first try without any resets.
Comments on specific aspects:
Yes, that Sudoku is frustrating to play - but in return, the puzzle themselves was made to be rather easy.
Generation from all stars is actually consistent - you need to click in the dead center for best results. Since it is not trivial for smaller stars, further upgrades require more precision. You can ignore them, however.
how do i connect things to the battery array
Use Energy Grid Kits.
thank you
very cool strategy game
After I started charging the command room, it drains all energy on the grid, preventing me from increasing my power generation any further via the propulsion room. I didn't have a previous save. I think this needs to be fixed.
You cannot reroll the Propulsion Room selection, but you can use everything else (Printer Room internal buffer is still filled up, and your space suit is prioritized) - so you still can increase your production.
a typo in Separation Algorithms description
This is like a puzzle, once you know the early pieces, it all falls together. Also I encountered a "bug", If you sit in a locked room, the printer speeds up MASSIVELY (provided it has energy available).
Thanks! Hopefully fixed the bug (did not check myself, though).
Challenging and just enough stress... Great game.
I'm sure they are ways to be even faster and deathless, but for now... this is my win screen.
Honestly rather fun, although playing cautiously makes things a bit of a grind, since crafting crafting and power get put by the wayside in favor of pushing into rooms to get more oxygen canisters (by the end I had a spare one I didn't end up using). It'd also be nice if it highlighted in red if your generator buffer was causing a reduction in effective power per second!
wish there was an option to make it so clicking on nothing and switching rooms didn't remove oxygen. it feels awful wasting oxygen on reading what materials you need in another room
I've never felt like I've misclicked more in my life as I frantically try to find any more oxygen tanks in the rooms. Lovely game, good bit of content, definitely on my list of idle games I want to do deep runs through, I wonder if its possible to beat the game without reseting once
I had no idea there was a prestige mechanic. I beat it without dying, but I did a hard reset early, after figuring out what to do and wasting a bunch of oxygen playing with the star map.
Good game. A bit grindy at times, but it was a fun optimization puzzle.
