## What is Kardashev?

Build a massive Dyson Swarm and harvest infinite stellar energy.

Kardashev: Idle Universe is a sci-fi idle clicker where you automate drones, expand orbital stations, and evolve from a single planet to a galactic civilization.

Optimize your strategy, trigger Big Crunch prestiges, and climb the Kardashev Scale.

Start with a small planetary outpost and grow it into a massive, automated energy empire spanning the galaxy. Deploy drones, construct orbital infrastructure, and manage logistics fleets to maximize efficiency.

Even when you close the app, your automated empire continues to expand. Return to massive offline rewards and invest them into exponential upgrades to skyrocket your energy production.

Unlike traditional idle games filled with static menus, Kardashev presents a living cosmic simulation: featuring dynamic drone swarms, energy beams, and evolving celestial systems.

Master the Kardashev Scale: Advance from planetary (Type I) to stellar (Type II) and ultimately galactic (Type III) energy control.

Strategic depth meets idle gameplay: Every decision, from capacity limits and fleet routing to upgrade timing, impacts your long-term growth.
