ABOUT THE GAME
The game’s premise is simple. You are dropped alone on a planet that you must terraform.
Terraforming or Terraformation is the hypothetical process of deliberately modifying the atmosphere, temperature, surface topography or ecology of a planet, moon, or other body to be similar to the environment of Earth to make it habitable by Earth-like life.
Your goal is to increase the Terraformation Index score and accomplish the various intermediary stages of planetary development. You do this by building machines that increase primary statistics of Oxygen, Heat, Pressure, and later Biomass in the form of Plants, Insects and eventually Animals. The primary tech tree unlocks as you increase your Terraformation Index. Other tech items can be unlocked in each category according to their statistic, so you must balance what you are doing to gain access to all items.
In order to build and run your terraformation machines, you must create generators for power. Power generators can be built anywhere on the map and will count toward your total available power. Each machine you build will add an additional amount of power requirement it needs in order to run. If your power requirements exceed your available power, everything stops working until you increase power production beyond your current power requirements.

STORY
You are a convict imprisoned for an unknown crime and have been assigned to this planet by Sentinel Corp to create an earth like environment in order to have the charges against you dropped. To do this, you must create items using the various minerals on the planet. The basic minerals are Cobalt, Ice, Iron, Magnesium, Silicon, and Titanium. Using these will allow you access other minerals such as Aluminum, Iridium, Uranium, Osmium, Zeolite, Super Alloy and Sulfur. In the process of developing a biosphere on the planet you will also need to find seeds, and later on insect larvae and fish eggs once the planet is sufficiently covered in plant life.
