Mission Briefing
Location: Skubalon IV
Survey notes:
Old Empire waste facility (type 3b; a midden-moon)
Energy crystals present (zero-point tech; still active)
Reclaimable resources estimated worth: 7 trillion kudos
Directives:
Excavate the identified sites
Power the facility using the crystals
Deliver all resources requested by the Hub
A factory game in reverse
Take complete products and strip them down into materials and resources. Juggle recipes that yield more items than you put in. Sort sushi-belts. Deal with the irredeemable waste and excess items somehow.
No ordinary base layouts here
The ancients left free energy just laying around in crystals, yay! But they emit energy beams that don't behave like your familiar set-and-forget electricity grid, boo! At first glance the colorful beams don't seem to cross, but there's probably a way to engineer your way around that problem with some tricky optics.
Old-empire AI can help out
AI trained on advanced ancient tech is potent and you'll need them to help with safe disassembly and classification of stuff. They're also extra creative when in groups so delivering a bunch to your Hub to collaborate together will unlock a range of base upgrades.
The Monolith
Craft one of these to win the game!
