About the Game

Restore collapsed ecosystems by raising bees and reintroducing native plants. Use the resources of your bees to clone new plants, breed new bee species and restore the whole planet to its former beauty with automation.

Become the pilot of an experimental drone sent to an alien planet on the brink of ecological collapse. Your drone will have access to a Terminal for communication and research requests. The Terminal has a built-in Matter Assembler for crafting and a Research Lab for unlocking more advanced machines, discovering new species and upgrades for your drone.

Raise Bees

Craft apiaries, clone bees and collect the unique product of each species to help fulfill your duties of restoring the planet. Use transport bees to move items in your production pipelines and automate ecosystem restoration items. Splice new bees by combining different species and unlock unique produce and new recipes.

Restore Ecosystems

Each ecosystem requires new restoration items and saplings to recover. Restoring each ecosystem will give you access to more bee species, new resources and research opportunities.

Clone native plants to balance the ecosystem, craft required nutrients and tools with bee produce, clean toxic areas and undo the damage of ecological collapse.

Automation

As you explore further from your landing site, the tools and nutrients required for ecological recovery will become more complex while also requiring higher quantities. Machinery will need to be researched and constructed as new items and recipes are required. Utilise your network of bees with your advanced machinery to help provide the necessary components for ecological recovery.
