IDLE / MANAGEMENT

Build a world
from sunlight.

Run a 150-second growth cycle. Gather raw materials, improve the photosynthetic pathway, and expand one chloroplast into a living ecosystem.

  1. Tap the three resource controls for quick bursts.
  2. Upgrade collection, ATP production, and carbon fixation.
  3. Reach growth milestones before the cycle ends.

FIELD MANUAL

Keep the pathway flowing.

You have 150 seconds to produce as much sugar and biomass as possible. The factory continues running automatically while the shift is active.

The pathway

Controls and strategy

Click or tap Catch sunlight, Open stomata, and Draw water for instant resources. Each has a short cooldown. Buy upgrades whenever their cost button lights up. Balance your input collectors with photosystems and carbon fixation so no tank becomes a bottleneck.

Keyboard: 1/2/3 trigger resource bursts. Q/W/E/R/T buy upgrades. P or Space pauses outside a button. Opening this guide or switching tabs pauses the shift.

This is a simplified learning model. Real photosynthesis includes light-dependent reactions in thylakoid membranes and carbon fixation in the chloroplast stroma; the resource quantities, rates, and upgrade costs here are gameplay abstractions.

GROWTH PAUSED

The stomata are resting.

Your timer and production are on hold.
