Major Features:
Terraformation
Interstellar Ship
Constant Acceleration Flights
The journey was long and arduous, but we’ve reached our next destination! The terraformation system is up and running. Now you can change all the solid planets’ terraformation parameters to make them habitable, and see how they change over time! You can also build an Interstellar Ship and send it on interplanetary missions (we can’t visit other systems yet)! These projects will take centuries to complete, but they’re worth the wait!
