How it feels

You write scripts that run your colony continuously, competing and collaborating in a persistent world with other players.

What players say

Players write code to control their colony in a persistent MMO world, and agree it is deeply rewarding for programmers. The learning curve is steep and the UI is dated, but the community on Discord is active and helpful. Some are put off by the lack of UI scaling or the slow browser-based client.
