Character creation

Character creation is the process of creating an astronaut in order to play singleplayer or multiplayer. It is divided into six categories: class selection, space suit colors, body features, assigning stat points, assigning skill points and choosing a character name.

Class selection

 * Main article: Classes

Selecting a class is the very first step to create a new character. Players can pick one of four different classes. The differences are the amount of available skill points, as well as different starting gear. During this step players also can decide if they want a male or female astronaut.

Space suit colors
Here, a player can choose what the astronaut's space suit should look like. Various colors allow to create a custom look affecting primary, secondary, detail and glow color.

Body features
The available sliders allow to change a character's height and the size of its head, torso, upper arms, forearms, hands, thighs, calves and feet.

Assigning stat points
The player may assign 10 stat points to four different stats: speed, health, strength and stamina. It is possible to skip this step and assign the points in-game.

Assigning skill points
Depending on the selected class, the class-specific amount of skill points may be assigned now. This step can be skipped as well, allowing players to assign points in-game as well.

Assigning a name
The last step of character creation is to choose a name.

=Notes=
 * the player can go back and change any decision made during character creation, however this also resets other decisions (e.g. if a player wants to change space suit colors, going back to that option will reset features, stat points, skill points and name).


 * when creating a singleplayer character, clicking on confirm will start the game and save the character locally. However, creating a multiplayer character will only save the character if a server is selected and joined. Going back to the main menu will not save the avatar, despite clicking on confirm.
