Industrial stack
I want every colony to feel like a factory diagram - not a single progress bar. Raw extraction, refinement, power, and storage should fight for tiles, attention, and hauler time.
The classic browser-strategy loop - mine, refine, build - but with honest depth: combinatorial discovery across matter states, per-world composition bonuses, and HQ tiers that escalate cost and capability together. Shortcuts should be logistical, not credit-card.

What you can do here
Ninety-nine procedural archetypes - molten frurozin cores, ocean frubin coasts, crystal vaults, dust bowls - each with distinct ore affinities, extraction caps, and industrial trade-offs. Five density tiers from barren to abundant still set how hard the math bites.
Tier ladders plus cross-compound discovery create thousands of legal paths today. Phase converters add late-game industrial decisions - adjacent matter-state transitions, not magic buttons.
Mines, depots, refineries, factories, and labs compete for surface tiles and parallel build caps. Upgrading HQ should feel like committing to a doctrine, not clicking +1.
If this sounds like you
Achievers live here - optimal chains, parallel builds, and stockpiles that feed fleet milestones. Explorers chase world mixes that unlock rare refinement shortcuts.
What you get out of it
Serious Fun from deep colony work and supply chains; Hard Fun when refinement bottlenecks force trade-offs under pressure.
