You begin on a planet somewhere in the universe.

There are 3 main resources in the beginning: industryresearchpopulation

• industry: reduces build time (is linear)
• research: reduces research time
• population: each building requires 1 population, later you can build buildings to increase max population

There are 2 more resources: “metal” and “quartz”. The increase is per minute
The resources are not on every planet. You can transport them with spaceships if you need them.
It’s possible that more resources will be added to the game later, and buildings suddenly depend on them.

Back to the gameplay:
First you should create some fabrics until the build time is halved, after that build some laboratories.

When this is done you can research metallurgy.
The research depends on the total research points generated and its limit is 30 x (research increase)
The time is calculated by the research generation rate.
Which means, the more you have the faster the research will finish.

As soon as you have researched “Orbital Structures” you can build a Shipyard and then create Spaceships.

Each Spaceship can be individually equipped. To fly you need some engines (more = faster travel). But that only allows you to fly between planets.
To also fly through wormholes you must add some “Star Lane Drive”s. [Needs research Spacetime Surfing]

To colonize other planets you can add the “Colonizer” Item. Each one can colonize 1 planet.
