-Mechanics Explained-
The base mechanics for the game are a planet's temperature and sea level. These fluctuate naturally over time. H20 and Heat can be taken from a planet by clicking or clicking and holding on their status bars or the buttons beside their status bars in the Planet Statistics View.
The Planet Statistics View is made visible while flying past or resting in orbit alongside a planet.
The cargo currently on the ship is shown in the lower left corner of the game screen. When resources are taken from a planet (like H20 or Heat) they fill the ship's cargo. The cargo has a maximum capacity.
Cargo can be ejected from the ship by right clicking or holding down the right mouse button. Cargo is ejected in the direction the ship is facing, and also shares the ship's momentum. Cargo is affected by planetary gravity in a similar fashion as the ship.
The next important mechanic is population. While a planet's sea level and temperature are in a comfortable mid-range, and if the population is less than 0%, the population will naturally increase over time. If a planet's population is more than 80%, dangerous world events such as plagues or world wars are more likely. If a planet's population is at 100%, the planet is overcrowded, and enlightenment can't increase.
World events are dangerous phenomena that occur randomly and affect a planet's statistics. For example, a global wildfire increases the planet's temperature.
-Hint-
If the ship's cargo is full, and planets need resources removed, you can eject cargo at any time into the vacuum of space away from your planets to make room.
