What awaits you
Synatech is more than a classic builder — a fully simulated economy with depth and replay value.
Deep production chains
From a chunk of ore through steel and plastic to the finished robot — 32 different resources & goods and over 66 production facilities.
Real-time logistics
Freighters travel live through the galaxy. Plan routes, optimize capacity and use automatic supply routes between your planets.
Player marketplace
Trade resources and goods with real players. Your own sell offers, purchases, a stock market and loans — a living economy.
4 research trees
Industry, logistics, economy and science. Specialize in whatever suits your playstyle.
Population & taxes
Your planets grow organically. Residents eat food, need medication and pay taxes. A living microcosm.
Dynamic world events
50+ events keep the galaxy alive: asteroid impacts, market crashes, races, pirate raids, distress calls and much more.
Pirates & security
Pirates raid freighters — you can pay protection money, build your own warships or cooperate with the Terra military. Newcomers are fully protected from raids by players, outlaws and pirates for the first 48 hours.
Fair monetization
No pay-to-win. Premium features like supply routes from €1.99/month make management easier — but you can't buy game progress.

Frequently asked questions
Is Synatech really free?
Yes. The entire game content is freely accessible — colonizing planets, production chains, trade, research. Optionally there are premium features like supply routes (€1.99/month) and pirate protection money (€2.99/month) that make the game more convenient, but not more powerful.
Do I have to download anything?
No. Synatech runs entirely in the browser. A modern Chrome, Firefox, Safari or Edge on desktop or smartphone is enough.
How is real time implemented? Do I always have to be online?
Freighters keep moving even when you are offline. Your production facilities run 24/7. When you come back, you collect the accumulated earnings and make new decisions. Ideal as a relaxed builder.
Where is my data stored?
Entirely in Germany. The server is located in the Hetzner data center in Nuremberg, GDPR-compliant. Details in the privacy policy.
What happens if I don't play for several weeks?
Your account is kept. Ships keep traveling, facilities keep producing — as long as money and inputs are available. After longer inactivity your score may drop slightly (passive score-decay mechanic), but your empire is not gone.
Is there an endgame or goal?
Synatech is an open economic simulation — the appeal lies in expansion, trade and competition with other players for the top of the leaderboard. Regular world events and competitions keep providing new incentives.
