I Fetch Rocks
Education ∙ SimulationEmbark on your asteroid hauling career with Veritago Fortana. Start with a basic ship and earn credits to upgrade, customise and repair as you try to fulfil larger and harder contracts. Built exclusively for VR, use your own hands to build, wire and fly using 100s of interconnecting components.
A stable Singleplayer experience with a work-in-progress preview of Co-Operative Multiplayer.
The year is 2150. You’ve successfully landed a job working for one of the many mining facilities stationed in the asteroid belt between Jupiter and Mars. Using a company issued Asteroid Hauler, your job is to search for mineral rich asteroids and tow them back to the primary mining facility for further processing.
Be warned, this trivial sounding job will push you to your creative engineering limits. The asteroid belt is extremely dangerous, radiation and cosmic rays will continuously degrade the components of your ship. Over the course of your employment you will need to become intimately familiar with how all ship systems operate and fit together so that you can rearrange, rewire and reprogram them as they fail around you. You’ll need to get creative to survive and get your payload back to the primary mining facility.
All components can be connected using red cables which simulate power distribution and green cables which simulate data flow from user input and various sensors.

Unfinished game
I can't even touch the floor in this game to plug in things. How is this considered playable? I've owned this game a long time, but still no monitors for info or an ability to manage cables in conduits. Everything here just feels dirty.
A truly brilliant sim and automation
I Fetch Rocks on Oculus Quest 2
I just started playing this game a couple of days ago. I'm not sure how long it's been available for the Quest 2, but I think it's a pretty recent release.
I've watched tutorials and videos for the PC version, which came out a while ago and which I've never played, and there are some differences. For example, the in-game tutorial for the Quest 2 is much shorter. I think that's understandable given the Quest 2's more limited storage capacity, and I'm wondering if it needs a longer tutorial or somewhere to find a manual.
As for the game itself, I think it's absolutely brilliant. It's no secret that I love space simulators, especially ones that incorporate Newtonian physics. I'm also a huge fan of automation games, so this one fits me like a glove.
When I first started, I ran into several bugs. The carbon plate would run out in a couple of seconds, or it couldn't be changed, or it would get stuck. But these issues were resolved by the developer with impressive speed and efficiency.
There are still some bugs to be resolved, like the one that sends you to the next room when you accidentally dosent grab a control than you intended and press a button.
But I have to say, I'm getting really hooked. It's so immersive that the graphics don't bother me at all. Once I'm playing, I don't even notice that they aren't super realistic, and honestly, the game doesn't need them to be.
I'm not sure if you get more information on how to use certain components, like vectors, as you progress, but I really hope so because it's a bit hard to understand how they work. The logic components were no problem for me since I was already familiar with them, as well as registers and binary operations, so those were easy to use.
Basically, I'm bouncing back and forth between sandbox mode (to experiment with connections, components, and automations) and the career mode.
I'm giving this game a maximum score because developer's quick response to correcting bugs.
Super Educational and Fun
I feel like there is no other game on standalone quest like this one. This game has so much freedom and because of the way the components are, it's like a mini programming language within a game - at least that's my impression so far.
I think the tutorial could be more explicit on telling you where to go to buy things in career or where to go to learn about components.
I've been played for 3 hours, learning just everything about what stuff does but I don't even feel like I've found out half of what I think I can do.
I hope this game gets more and more updates because this is a really unique challenging educational game.
Very fun
Very fun and challenging game
Awesome!
Ok the graphics could be better, but inside the ship it's incredibly funny to play. One of my favourite games!
