SURVIVAL PROTOCOL
Every structure must stand within signal range of the Colony Hub or a Relay Pylon. Extend the network outward to reach ice and ore fields.
Solar arrays sleep at night. Bank surplus power in cells or commission an isotope generator before dusk.
Colonists breathe, drink and eat. Run dry for long and they die. Keep them alive and happy; shuttles will bring more. A Medical Bay buys time in a crisis.
Tap geothermal vents for steady power and crystal fields for high-value XTAL exports. A Rover Garage boosts every extractor.
Pirates raid prosperous colonies. Ring your structures with Sentry Guns or watch them burn.
Fund a Research Lab to unlock advanced structures — and ultimately, the Terraforming Spire.
