Space Haven: How to Get More Crew

There’s a lot to do in the space-faring sim game Space Haven – so much, in fact, that your initial crew of four will feel too small to do everything you’d like before long. Fortunately, there are plenty of other crew members you can recruit to your adventures, which is why we’re here to walk you through how to get more crew in Space Haven.

Getting More Crew in Space Haven

To cut right to the chase, you can get more crew members in Space Haven by exploring derelict ships.

As you play through the game, you’ll come across several abandoned or broken down ships you can explore. They’ll be identifiable as the blacked-out part of the map, and can be travelled to via the shuttle craft on your ship.

From there, any crew members you put on the shuttle will be able to explore said ship, finding caches of resources, enemies to defeat or survivors to take back with them and turn into new crew members.

However, it’s worth noting that whether or not survivors will be on said ships is completely random. There’s no guarantee you’ll find new crew members after exploring one or a dozen ships, and if you don’t succeed after said attempts, your only real option is to keep trying until you luck out.

That’s all you need to know about how to get more crew in Space Haven. With this knowledge under your belt, you have everything you need to build up a thriving space colony, survive the harsh realities of existence in space and see all that the galaxy has to offer.
