Earth - A deep dive into your first orbit
Hello everyone!
The demo of Orbiteers is now live! You can download it on the Orbiteers store page and play all three Earth levels for free.
We'd love to hear your thoughts on either Discord or the Steam forums. Your feedback helps us improve the game before launch!
In the rest of this blog post, we'll look at Orbiteers' first level and highlight it's unique mechanics.
Earth - The home of all humanity
The view from orbit is just amazing right? Everyone thats ever lived was born there, but who knows how long that will hold true...
Your first stop in conquering our solar system is our home planet: Earth! The big blue marble should be home to a variety of powerful stations producing L.U.N.A. Alloy, but what exactly is this alloy?
L.U.N.A. Alloy
Recently, L.U.N.A. invented a revolutionary new quantum-metal alloy, and decided to call it after herself. This alloy allows the construction of many different modules and cutting-edge machines that will help all Orbiteers on their mission of conquering the solar system.
Due to it's intricate nature, producing it on earth is nearly impossible. As such L.U.N.A. suggested the construction of multiple large scale orbital factories to meet the new demand. Shipments of material will be handled by the already-built station core, your job will be the construction of a station, able to support multiple advanced L.U.N.A. Alloy factories.
Special modules
For every orbit a special module has been designed by Mission Control. They will be crucial for the success of the mission. Special modules always require L.U.N.A. Alloy to construct.

Alternate Levels
On top of the regular levels, every orbit comes with two bonus levels that serve as an alternate version with higher difficulty. Not only are they more challenging, but they also contain completely different mission objectives. The demo contains the levels A-1, A-2 and A-3.
The Earth levels are playable for free right now!
