Every day, you make choices that shape your planet's future — from the first rainfall to a sprawling interstellar empire. BUILD YOUR WORLD Allocate Water, Minerals, Atmosphere, Life Seeds, and Energy to guide your planet through four stages of evolution. Every decision matters — the right resource at the right time can unlock your planet's next chapter. BUILD GENERATORS Construct generators that keep producing while you're away.
