About the Game

In To the Stars Idle you take control of the primitive stone age tribe to build and develop your way into the future.

To progress, build new production chains, utilizing many resources. Each building consumes different resources to produce its output, so careful management is paramount. Starting with the basic Food, Wood and Stone, gradually advance to balancing up to 20 resources, each with their unique production chains.

Spend earned resources by researching new technologies, the more resources you produce, the more people you can assign to do research. Technologies allow you to advance through the eras, upgrade existing production and improve your military capabilities.

Finally, spend leftover resources to train up your military and attack neighbouring countries, to further upgrade your output with extra space as well as learn new methods of production from them. Battles are resolved in the autobattler fashion, where strengths and weaknesses of your units are clashing with those of your opponents.

Features:

8 eras to progress through, including, but not limited to, Stone Age, Medieval times, Age of Discovery, Modern Era and of cours distant future.

20 different resources to manage, each with dozens of unlockable production buildings.

Thousands technologies to research across all eras.
