Slipways

Story

MAKE TRADE, NOT WAR Colonize planets, choose industries carefully and connect everything together so that your planets support each other. If you arrange everything correctly, you can watch your colonies develop and grow, giving you even more opportunities for profitable trade. Make long-term plans and bask in your own glory when that one last connection upgrades six planets at once and provides you with much-needed income. There's no military aspect to distract your focus from the economy. The game is more relaxed than your typical grand strategy. It's all about exploring space and its infinite possibilities, shaping it to your liking and realizing its full potential. With so much empty space to conquer, there's no need for war. FASTER THAN LIGHT Forget about tedious micromanagement and waiting for ships to be built. In Slipways, every action you take has immediate consequences, and every decision you make is crucial. Your planets govern themselves while you focus on making the right decisions to get them what they need. You don't waste any of your precious time on routine work. A single run takes 40-60 minutes and they're all filled with the good stuff. SHIFT UP A GEAR There are no boring technologies here. Instead of making a single building 20% more efficient, the technologies in Slipways let you move planets at will, use stars to generate energy, or colonize planets with sentient machines instead of humans. The choices vary with each run, so you need to plan carefully and adapt to the situation. The path you choose will fundamentally change your experience and the way you view the game's planets and resources.
