About This Game

FREE DEMO IS AVAILABLE: Download and play the game now.

You've been sent to a frozen alien world. Your ship is silent. Sensors offline.<br>The only way to bring this place to life is to write code.

Code: Terraform is an automation/programming game where every action happens through scripts you write. Not visual programming. Not drag and drop. Real code, in a language modeled after Python, with a full editor, console, and documentation built into the game.<br>You don't click to mine. You write the mining script. You don't manage a power grid by hand. You script the policy that runs it. Solar trackers follow the sun because your code reads the clock. Drone fleets fly because your code dispatches them. The more systems you script, the more the planet responds.

Boot your systems<br>Bring your base online one script at a time. Calibrate sensors. Activate solar power. Read raw instrument data and turn it into meaning. Every system is a component you interact with through code.

Write scripts that run autonomously<br>Your solar tracker follows the sun. Your rover surveys distant sites and drills the ones worth mining. Your smelter refines what comes back. They all run at the same time, your code working while you plan your next move.<br>Solve engineering contracts<br>Earth sends contracts. Data processing challenges with real rewards. Parse signals, filter datasets, compute solutions. The harder the contract, the bigger the payout.

Refine, fabricate, deliver<br>Earn credits. Buy machines. Deploy modular rovers and Pioneers, swap nav and sonar and drill modules to suit the job. Smelt ore into ingots. Fabricate parts: pipe segments, machine frames, circuit panels, turbine rotors, cargo pods, thruster assemblies, battery packs. Ship orders to Earth's contractors for credits, recipe unlocks, and tech upgrades. Scale from a single solar panel to a planet spanning industry.

Power grids and fluid networks<br>Drill water from underground reserves. Tap oil wells. Cap geothermal vents for steam. Pipe each medium across the planet, balance backpressure, and feed tier three machines that demand continuous flow to run at full output. Bridge...
