# Solargene > By the mid-21st century, humanity faced critical resource shortages on Earth. The leading spacefaring nations turned their gaze to the cosmos. You'll take the helm of a private space corporation and begin the industrial exploitation of the solar system. Vastness of the Solar System Discover the expansive reaches of our solar system—from scorching Mercury to the icy Kuiper Belt. Explore mysterious planetary landscapes: Venus' endless deserts, Martian canyons, Io's volcanoes, and Europa's frozen crust. Build dozens of colonies, space stations, and spacecraft capable of housing hundreds of colonists. Colonies Establish and develop off-world colonies with diverse specializations: spaceports, mining outposts, agricultural complexes, tourist resorts, scientific bases, and majestic orbital stations. Use a simple yet powerful construction system to realize your boldest architectural visions. Extract minerals and create production chains, progressing from basic resources to complex high-tech products. Hold colony elections to consider residents' opinions and enact laws reflecting the dominant ideology. Personnel Management Every astronaut is a unique individual with distinct personalities, worldviews, professional skills, and experience. As their expertise grows, so do their demands for proper compensation and comfortable living conditions. Like all humans, colonists require basic needs: food, sleep, rest, and hygiene. Special attention must be paid to healthcare—prompt treatment and care for the injured and sick will ensure their survival and well-being. Logistics You'll have access to dozens of unique in-game resources, with mineral deposits unevenly scattered across planets. Create and optimize a logistics network using efficient shuttle systems to transport cargo and personnel between colonies and spaceports. Negotiate contracts and trade with all in-game factions. Extreme Conditions Space is an inhospitable environment for humans: temperatures fluctuate dramatically based on time of day, season, planetary location, atmospheric presence, and distance from the Sun. Radiation levels vary across celestial bodies and intensify during solar flares. Meteor showers pose serious threats to colonies and orbital stations. On planets with active atmospheres, periodic storms and calms disrupt logistics and affect power generation. Research & Technology The path won't be easy, but science and technology will help overcome all obstacles. Manufacture new high-tech resources to create increasingly complex equipment and superior structures. Utilize powerful engines and wireless power transmission to colonize the solar system's most remote corners. Research space agriculture and cuisine for varied diets and astronaut comfort, and develop space tourism for additional income. And that's not all—robots, clones, force fields, and much more await!
