🚀 Cosmic Frontier
A space race you live, not a menu you click. Build a launch base, refine your own fuel, put a rocket together part by part and leave the Earth. Then go further: the Moon, Mars, Venus, Mercury, the asteroid belt, the moons of Jupiter and Saturn — and in the end, other stars.
Four eras take you from a one-seat rocket to a ship that folds space:
| Era | You build | You reach |
|---|---|---|
| 🧑🚀 Pioneer | a launch base and rockets in three tiers | the Moon, Mars, Venus, Mercury, the asteroid belt |
| 🛠️ Engineer | modular rockets from blueprints, with stages that separate in flight | orbital stations, Jupiter's and Saturn's moons |
| 🛸 Explorer | a shuttle you fly yourself, on six axes | orbit and back, by your own hand |
| 🌌 Interstellar | a jump drive | three procedural galaxies made from your world's seed |
🏗️ The launch base
- ⛽ Fuel refinery: coal into synthetic kerosene. Electrolyzer: water into oxygen and hydrogen.
- ⚡ Power: combustion generators, solar panels (they give more on the Moon, nothing out by Saturn), and a nuclear generator.
- 🗼 Launch pad, tower and service arm: the arm fuels the rocket and swings away during the countdown.
- 🖥️ Mission control: telemetry, the countdown, a redstone signal at lift-off.
- 📖 The Engineer's Manual: every machine and every recipe, chapter by chapter.
🌑 Worlds that feel different
Every world has its own gravity (jumps and falls follow it), air, heat and sky.
- 🌕 The Moon: the Earth hangs still in a black sky; titanium in the rock and ice in the deep craters.
- 🔴 Mars: canyons, blue sunsets, Phobos and Deimos racing overhead, and dust storms that darken the sky.
- 🟡 Venus: lava under clouds that never part, 460 °C — only the thermal suit survives it.
- ☿️ Mercury and the asteroid belt: scorching days, frozen craters, rocks floating in the dark.
- 🪐 Jupiter's moons: Io's sulfur volcanoes, Europa's ice over a hidden ocean, Ganymede's uranium — and radiation that kills without a radiation suit.
- 💍 Saturn's moons: Titan's orange smog, methane lakes and -179 °C cold; Enceladus, where geysers throw you thirty blocks up under Saturn's rings.
🧩 Rockets your way
- 🔢 Three tiers of ready-made rockets to start with.
- 📐 The design table: pick engines and tanks, see the rocket equation at work (Δv, thrust-to-weight) before you fly, print a blueprint and share it as a code.
- 👻 Assembly hologram: set the blueprint on the pad and fit the missing parts.
- 🎆 Staging: spent stages and boosters fall away in flight.
- ☢️ Nuclear thermal engine: twice the efficiency, too little thrust to leave the Earth — build it in orbit.
🛰️ Orbit
- 🌍 Low orbits of the Earth, the Moon and Mars, with the planet turning below you.
- 🏠 Stations: docking ports, life support bubbles, greenhouses, fuel depots and an orbital shipyard for rockets too heavy to lift off the ground.
🛸 The shuttle
- 🕹️ Newtonian physics on six axes: the mouse turns it, Z/C roll it, WASD and Space/Ctrl fire the thrusters. In space nothing slows you down.
- 🧭 Flight assist (V): it brakes every drift and holds you up; let go and it hovers.
- ⬆️ Fly yourself into orbit above the sky, and dive out of it to land by hand.
- 🗺️ Navigation computer to jump between worlds; a hull that dents on hard landings.
🌌 Other stars
- ✨ Three galaxies from your world's seed: red dwarfs to blue giants, each with its own worlds.
- 🌋 Seven kinds of planet: barren, desert, ice, volcanic, ocean, living and crystal — each with its own terrain, gravity, air, temperature, ore and sky.
- 🌳 Somewhere in every galaxy there is a world you can breathe on.
- 💠 Jump drive and warp cells, a star map, and exotic crystals that grow only on crystal worlds.
🎨 Made for it
- 🔩 Detailed 3D rockets, shuttle and launch tower, built from hundreds of parts.
- 🔊 Its own sounds: engines, countdown, refuelling, the Geiger counter.
- 🏆 Dozens of advancements, from your first aluminium ingot to another galaxy.
- 🌐 English and Spanish.
