You start with cold hydrogen and a dead clump of dust. Feed it, and the mix decides what ignites — 21 kinds of star, dwarf and collapsed body, none of them picked off a menu. Then send what you made into the ring with a God riding it, and knock rival bodies out of orbit.

ANSWERS FOR YOUR FIRST SESSION
Stellar Forge gameplay guide and player questions
Steam edition · Researched Nov 9, 2026 · Guide updated Nov 9, 2026.
Source facts
How do I create a new fighter in Stellar Forge?
You do not use a menu to build stars. Instead, you feed a dark proto-mass at the center of the screen with various elements like hydrogen or uranium to determine what kind of star ignites.
What is a good way to approach the combat mechanics?
To engage in combat, aim and hold to fill your launch meter before releasing. During the fight, consider that mass determines movement, density affects matter shedding, and spin influences the intensity of the physical grind between bodies.
What is the difference between the game's offline and online modes?
The game functions offline by default. The online mode is an optional feature found under the Battle menu that allows you to sign in with Steam to test your stellars against other players' creations.
You begin the game with five roster slots available. You can expand your capacity up to a maximum of ten slots by earning achievements and accumulating SP through gameplay.
What happens when a giant star reaches the end of its life?
When a giant star reaches its end, it undergoes a supernova. If the blast is sufficiently powerful, the resulting remnant transforms into a new incubator, which you can then use to grow your next star.
You can acquire elements by exploring the adventure mode, defeating rival stars in combat, or by forging them directly. Every element in the game is unlocked through play rather than through purchases.
What are the different ways to merge or evolve my stars?
You can absorb an opponent's matter after winning a fight, push a body back into the forge to add mass, or collide two of your own stars to trigger a merge and warp space-time.
Gods can be assigned to your bodies to provide one to three unique abilities, each with its own cooldown. These deities are rare finds that can be won from rivals, surfaced in a forge, or discovered at shrines.
The galaxy road allows you to send a body on a 24-leg journey through the solar system. You can steer through debris to collect matter yourself or let the body travel automatically while encountering bosses along the way.
Yes, you can send bug reports or suggestions directly to the developers via the Settings or pause menu. The interface allows you to review the data being sent before you confirm the submission.
