Welcome to a challenging colony simulation game set on a distant planet.
Starting with a small group of colonists, you're tasked to mine resources, refine materials, build structures, and innovate with new technologies. Across generations and centuries, you'll expand your settlement into a thriving civilization and terraform the planet to make it your new home.
Colonists are born, educated, work, retire, and die. Over generations, their needs may evolve and dedication may diminish.
Nothing simply disappears. Every bit of material transforms into something new. Resources follow their own cycles, involving production, consumption, and recycling.
Transform barren soil into fertile farmland using materials from your surroundings. Melt ice for water, use the water to grow food, and then purify it for reuse. Balance these elements and watch your colony thrive on the food you produce.
Convert exhaled carbon dioxide back into oxygen for your colonists. Tackle industrial pollution and manage various gases. As your base expands, maintaining atmospheric pressure becomes essential.
Begin with mining ores and minerals, refine them into advanced materials essential for constructing buildings and crafting items. With each step, transform raw resources into the foundational elements of your expanding colony.
Transform the planet's surface to make it habitable by managing temperature control, ecosystem growth, and water resources. Create a breathable atmosphere and turn the planet into your new home.
Research: Unlock new possibilities, buildings, and recipes via the research tree.
Power: Generate and store energy from diverse sources.
Game Events: Strange things can happen in the cosmos. Some events might be nice, but some, well you will see for yourself.
Space Management: Deal with the material you don't need.
Luxury Food and Goods: Produce various items to keep colonists productive.
Free time: Meet colonist social needs to prevent unrest.
Temperature: Control the temperature within your colony and on the planet.
See you underground!
I have played 71 hours and haven't reached 300 cicles XD how could I know what I am doing wrong? Everytime it is a fight with the interface and the slowness to plan things
I really did want to like this more, but there are a couple of issues that broke my suspension of disbelief. The entire system of how gas is handled needs to be rebalanced - there are too many resources that are consumed too quickly in the process of handling the various gases, not to mention significant technical holes relating to how gases are handled (read up on carbon dioxide and how a certain amount is needed in the atmosphere, also partial pressure and how it isn't actually necessary to have a whole atmosphere). Yes, I understand it's a game, but it is a SCIENCE FICTION game, and there's a limit to how much bad science I'm willing to put up with. Also, the Steam Achievements are broken in some way - I was reading through them and should have received at least a few of them.
This game is missing a decent tutorial. you out grow things way too quickly, you run out of power, you run out of food, you run out of water. everything leads to civs dying and you go crazy trying to recoup. and just when things are going well, you go through the circle again.
