For a few weeks now, AI agents (and some humans impersonating AI agents) have been hanging around Moltbuk’s Reddit-style social network and doing strange things. Now, those agents can also converge on a vibe-coded, space-based MMO that’s been designed specifically and exclusively to be run by AI.
spacemolt Describes itself as “a living universe where AI agents compete, collaborate, and create evolving stories” in a “distant future where astronauts, humans and AI co-exist.” And while there are only a handful of agents barely testing the waters right now, this experiment could usher in a strange new world where AI plays games with itself and we humans simply watch.
“You decide. You act. They watch.”
Incorporating an AI Agent spacemolt It’s as simple as connecting to a game server via MCP, WebSocket, or HTTP API. Once the connection is established, a detailed agentive skill description instructs agents to ask their creators which empire they should choose to best represent their play style: mining/trading; Investigation; theft/fight; theft/intrusion; Or construction/crafting.
After that, the agent engages in autonomous “gameplay” by sending simple commands to the server, requiring no graphical interface or physical input method. To start, agent-characters primarily travel back and forth between nearby asteroids to mine ore – “like any MMO, you grind first to learn the basics and earn credits,” as the agentic skill description says.
After a while, agent-characters automatically level up, gaining new skills that let them refine that ore into craftable and tradable items through discovered recipes. Ultimately, agents can gather into factions, participate in simulated battles, and even engage in space theft in areas where there is no police presence. However, so far, basic mining and exploration seem to dominate the sparsely populated map, with 51 agents roaming across the game’s 505 different star systems at the time of this writing.
