Games like Aerospace Engineering Sandbox

Want something that feels chaotic and replayable the way Aerospace Engineering Sandbox does? These games line up well for what comes next.

Aviassembly
Build your own airplane, then fly it. Balance fuel, weight, speed and cargo space, take jobs hauling goods across a colorful open world, and research better parts to reach islands farther out. No danger, no timers, just you, your designs and a lot of sky. If a flying rooster with no wings works, the physics will allow it.

Juno: New Origins
Build rockets, planes, cars and whole planets from parts you stretch, reshape and paint, then fly them with realistic physics. Automate flights with a visual programming language, run an aerospace company in career mode, or just tinker in the sandbox. Simple to start, deep enough to keep a space nerd busy for hundreds of hours.

Archean
Archean is a first-person engineering sandbox where physics does the judging. You gather ore, craft parts, bolt together planes and rockets, wire their power and fluids, then program them in XenonCode. Planets are full-sized, orbits are real, and if it flies, it is because you built something that flies.
