Self-Running Space Economy Simulator Developed in Rust and Bevy Released
A self-running space economy simulator, built in Rust and Bevy, has been released under the MIT license. The simulator features hundreds of autonomous agents engaged in various economic activities, emphasizing emergent behaviors in a living solar economy without predefined objectives.
Key points
- Simulator runs with no runtime dependencies
- Features 485 live autonomous agents
- Released under MIT license for community contributions
Overview of the Simulator
The newly launched simulator is an agent-driven space economy simulation that allows for autonomous trade, mining, and logistics among various factions and agents. Each agent operates independently with its own resources and decision-making capabilities, reflecting a dynamic economic environment.
Technical Specifications
Originally developed in Elixir and Phoenix, the project was rewritten in Rust to improve performance on Windows gaming PCs. The core simulation engine uses synchronous, IO-free Rust code, integrated with the Bevy rendering engine to ensure efficient operation.
Current Scale of Simulation
As of now, the simulator supports approximately 485 live agents, distributed among 282 ships, 93 facilities, 27 populations, eight factions, and 60 celestial bodies, managing to achieve operational speeds within a specified time budget.
Open Source and Community Engagement
The project is open for public contribution under the MIT license, inviting developers to fork, modify, or expand the simulation. The creator encourages feedback and improvements while clarifying that there is no active roadmap for further development.
