It could even be a youtube video or movie that you don't think anyone reading this has heard of besides you.

It was a game for PC around the year 2000, I don't even know the name of it. I've been searching for it for years. It's a point and click adventure game.

The premise is your spaceship breaks down on an alien planet. If you try to repair the ship immediately a giant alien spider will come and kill you.

After searching for a while you end up making friends with one of the aliens and sneak around one of the villages looking for parts.

I never made it past that point.

I highly doubt anyone will know what this is, I've tried multiple times on that reddit sub for games people can't remember.

This sounds like Space Quest. Have a look at this excerpt from a walkthrough and see if it sounds familiar:

"After escaping the Arcada before its destruction you crash land on the planet Kerona. Before you do anything “take off seatbelt”. Look at the pod and “take kit”. This is your survival kit. Look kit and you will find an Xenon army knife and dehydrated water.

“Get out” and walk to the front of the pod. “Take glass”. This is reflective glass that we’ll need later on.

Walk to the right three screens and then take the path that leads up. Follow the path all the way around over a bridge that will crack as you walk on it. A spider droid will drop to the ground at some stage. Just ignore it for now. There are two pillars at the end of the path. Stand between them and you’ll be lowered into the earth by a secret elevator."

Appreciate the effort but that's not it. The game starts with the crash, not on a space station.

Maybe if I dropped acid and was hypnotised, but my memory is quite poor.
