Progression, geysers, and long-term goals

Once the base is stable, the goal shifts from survival to sustainability. Research, renewable resource points, and achievements can guide the next phase.

Research path

Think in layers: survival, stable production, power and pipes, automation, then special resource handling.

Renewable points

Geyser-like resources are valuable because they can support long-term loops, but they may bring heat, pressure, timing, or processing costs.

Challenges

Achievements can become a roadmap for scale, efficiency, exploration, resource loops, and accident control.
