Ooh, a fun run, score of 9972 but a spoiler in the results if you look at them.

I kept using sensors to shield the colonists, storage and the landing gear to get this result

Better atmosphere, temperature, and water in the above run could add another 1k, so it seems that the maximum is at least 13k, though I suspect it is higher.

I sacrificed the colonists a couple times. After all, they are the only resource that is useless until you find a planet.

I guess my score was like ~7k, but I did end up with a civilization of highly enlightened Neolithic cave-people.

I have played the ever-living heck out of this game on subway rides. It's been a couple years since I last booted it, but it's a great timekiller in the sense that it still piques my imagination while not requiring me to think too hard.

The sequel "Beyond the Chiron Gate" adds more complexity to the formula, but is still fundamentally a similar game.

I knew it as android game (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.johnayliff...), didn't know there's a browser version as well

I forgot this existed! It has spin-offs and straight up copies on the internet. That's how good it is.

Feedback: I love text games but there is too much clicking and the font is too small.

I landed humanity on the first, most desolate rock. They decided to engage in plutarchy for seemingly no reason. I was hoping it would be like dune, but I guess it was more like ancient egypt.

This reminds a little of the paperclip simulator, but this seems about 85% less likely to cause me to skip an entire day of work while clicking furiously. It's really good though!
