Skyformer

Skyformer is a terraforming and automation game in which you play as a robot sent to make a planet habitable for its creators. You build factories, bases and a skybase, then use processed materials to change the climate, grow plants and expand the areas you can explore. Your goal is to maximize biomass across each region and stabilize the atmosphere so storms are no longer destructive.

Build and automate

Design factories that mine and process materials through automated pipelines, with drones handling logistics. Resource deposits provide an infinite supply, but later challenges reward you for making the best use of production rates and the entire map. Simple ratios and round numbers keep calculations straightforward, and quality-of-life features help you understand your systems and return to old saves.

You can create bases for crafting and shelter, and upgrade your abilities, health and charge meter over time. Build a skybase to house a data center and launch rockets.

Terraform the planet

Use processed materials to run systems that control the climate, track the weather and terraform the planet. As the climate changes, previously inhospitable regions may become accessible, while other areas can become harder to survive in. You discover and grow plants, stabilize the climate and watch visibility increase as the world transforms from barren to lush.

Weather and survival

The planet’s dynamic weather responds to its geography, creating microclimates in each region based on the global climate. Terraforming also enables more weather systems, some of them destructive. You monitor storms and deploy resources to protect buildings in their path, choosing among an expansive automated drone defense system, strategic building placement or strengthening your tools to face storms directly. Storm energy can also be harnessed.
