Getting started
Do I need an account or an internet connection?
No. Sunwright runs entirely offline.
Where is my save?
On your device. The game saves when you dock at the Yard, when you jump to another sector, and when you quit or switch away from the app.
What should I do first?
Follow the work orders pinned in the corner of the screen. They walk you through flying, mining, docking at the Yard and building your first piece of the Dyson sphere.
Controls
Can I use a game controller?
Yes. Any controller that works with your Mac, iPhone or iPad works in Sunwright. You can change every button in Settings, under Controls.
Can I change the keys?
Yes. On a Mac, and on an iPad with a keyboard attached, every action can be rebound in Settings, under Controls.
How do I play one-handed on iPhone?
Hold the phone upright. Steer with one thumb anywhere in the lower part of the screen, and the main guns fire on their own at the target you’re locked onto. Turn the phone sideways for two-handed controls.
Playing
My ship keeps losing parts. What’s happening?
The Erasers go after specific modules. Watch for the red pencil circle: that’s the part they’re about to hit. Destroyed parts stay as dashed outlines until you repair them at the Yard.
I died. Is my cargo gone?
No. It stays in your wreck, which is marked on the galaxy map. Fly back and pick it up.
I’m stuck at the Yard with no thruster and nothing in the bank.
The Yard gives you a basic salvage thruster for free so you can fly again.
Something’s wrong
The game crashed or something looks broken.
