Minicology allows players to create and manage their own miniature ecosystems, nurturing diverse species and adapting to environmental changes. Players build bases, defend against invasions, terraform worlds, and engineer solutions to challenges like farming and mining.
Smelt precious alloys from fallen meteorite, complete terraforming tasks to unlock chests, and gather genetic material to clone livestock. As you venture further into deep space, more materials and crafting stations will become available. Set up auto-harvesters and harness the simulated water cycle to make sure you’re always stocked with food, wood, and materials for your next adventure!
Minicology’s event system will keep you on your toes - each planet type has unique simulated weather and event rotations. Since events shift with the seasons, a planet might not be the same the next time you visit! Jungle planets feature dangerous acid rains, while deserts have blinding sandstorms that leave you fumbling to see - but certain rare materials will only be available during these dangerous events. Make sure you’re prepared!
As you roam, be careful that you don’t disturb the dangerous predators of the mini-verse. Well, actually, you’ll probably want to - they’ve got some of the best loot in the galaxy! Combat isn’t restricted to weapons - players can create weather, automate turrets, and harness the chemistry of gasses like methane, hydrogen, or radon to inflict damage on bosses or morph the world around you!
