Choose your world, shape your organism, and decide how life adapts, thrives, and conquers the stars. Every choice writes a different history. CHOOSE YOUR WORLD Settle lush Earth-like planets, frozen moons, radioactive wastelands, volcanic hellscapes, and more. Each world type changes everything — resources, climate, the threats you'll face, and which species thrive there. Worlds unlock one by one as you master the last, so the galaxy opens up as you grow. EVOLVE WITH A DEEP PERK TREE Climb a branching tree of Evolutionary, Technological, and Social perks. Rank up your favorite traits for stacking bonuses, unlock species-specific abilities, and discover synergies that turn a fragile colony into an unstoppable civilization. Hive minds, silicon life, and other archetypes each play completely differently.

Read the warning signs, brace your population, and battle world-ending disasters in fast, fun mini-games where every tap counts. Famine, disease, and war can erase billions — adapt or go extinct. GROW FROM MILLIONS TO TRILLIONS Watch your population explode from thousands to millions, billions, and beyond — each milestone reshaping your resource needs and the challenges of a modern era. Balance growth, technology, and survival across the ages. REACH THE STARS Your ultimate goal: ascend beyond your homeworld, reach a new planet, and terraform it into a thriving home for your species.

THE PROCESS — Welcome to the Ethereal Foundry. Build a steam-and-steel factory, wire your stations together, and watch it produce. But growth never stops here: as your system wears down, REBOOT it for a permanent multiplier — and grow faster next cycle. HOW TO PLAY • Start with the Boiler (input), route it through a Refinery, deliver it to the Emitter (output). • Unlock advanced stations as you progress: Furnace, Converter, Amplifier, Transmuter. • Use Coolant to slow degradation, and place stations smartly to trigger resonance and chain bonuses. A SYSTEM THAT DEEPENS • Blueprint Tree: spend points earned from every reboot on permanent perks. • Ascension: reset your factory a second time for Aether — a passive multiplier plus the exclusive "Aether Conduit" station. • Daily Contracts + Shift Streak: fresh goals every day, rewards for showing up. • Weekly Trial: build a mini factory and compete on the global leaderboard. MAKE IT YOURS Earn pipe color palettes and node skins to give your factory a signature look — never for sale, only earned by playing. FAIR AND TRANSPARENT Ads never play themselves. When you choose to watch one, you'll always see exactly what you're getting first. Your progress saves to the cloud automatically, so it survives a device switch. An idle/incremental factory game for players who love both hands-on tinkering and watching things grow in the background. The steam never stops. Is your factory ready?
