Create favorable conditions for ecosystems to flourish.
Build contraptions to attract comets, which will release water, resources, and occasionally even frozen flora and fauna.
Plants require various amounts of light, water, soil, and air to grow.
Animals need to eat, drink, and breathe. They also need to find shelter from the elements and each other.
Waste from plants and animals will break down into fertile soil, letting ecosystems grow larger and more complex over time.
Organisms evolve over generations.
Every organism has genes and can mutate randomly in many ways.
Push a species in a specific direction, or leave it alone and watch it evolve in response to the environment. Feeling impatient? Get in the lab and edit some genomes – just don’t be surprised if things go off the rails.
Create adorable critters, bizarre monsters, and anything in between.
Make friends.
Find and fix other robots as you travel from moon to moon.
Most will be helpful, but not all are friendly.
Learn more about your shared origins, and try to understand your existence.
As the moons change, so do you.
Biomass gathered from a healthy ecosystem can be converted into useful resources, or into energy to travel between moons.
Use what you find to build yourself new tools.
Protect your fragile, beautiful world... or don't, and watch chaos unfold.
