Sigma Draconis

Sigma Draconis is a peaceful colony simulation about a group of colonists settling on a distant world. You manage resources and build a colony with advanced technology but limited supplies. No enemies attack, but survival is challenging, especially in the snow region, where deadly nighttime cold and scarce natural resources put the colony at risk.

The world and resources

Maps are procedurally generated. Vegetation grows and spreads over time, wildlife roams freely, and geologists can reveal resources. Organics, ore, stone and coal are the primary resources. Vegetation and exposed rocks provide materials to start with; later, geologists must locate buried resources for mining.

Food and power

You can manufacture nutrient mush easily, though it can lower colonists’ happiness. A botanist can harvest edible fruit from some native plants, but a sustainable food supply requires growing crops. There are five crop varieties to choose from.

You generate electricity in various ways and manage power carefully. Nights are long and can be very cold on this tidally locked world, so colonists may die if fuel reserves are inadequate.

Colonists

Each colonist has one of three skills, and all three skills are essential to the colony’s success. Colonists also have individual perks that affect them in different ways. Workload, diet and other factors can influence their happiness and productivity, so you need to manage these carefully.

Colony objective

The current final objective is to build and launch a rocket.
