Space Engineers

A sandbox about building and operating spacecraft and stations. You mine asteroids, construct ships of different sizes and fly them, in a physics-driven world where everything can be damaged and destroyed. Playable solo or online, with mod support. Planning pays off, since you decide what to build before you decide where to go. Is it your kind of game?
