The catch here is, you'll have to build the island's industry from nothing into a highly intricate web of different machines that produce the various items needed for the island to function and expand, while also making sure to keep your islanders fed and healthy. In short, imagine Aven Colony with a heavy dose of Factorio.

Late game assembly machines require Computing Power along with regular old electrical power. The way you provide this is by building Data Centers. How a single centralized data center is able to handle computing duties for dozens of different machines located all around an island is anyone's guess, but the alternative would be needlessly complicated.

Acceptable Breaks from Reality: Mining activity does not create pollution, and neither does dumping trash into the ocean. Since mining is a core mechanic and since dumping is how you expand and reshape your island, having to manage the pollution that would occur in real life would make building Unity in the early game near impossible. Late game assembly machines require Computing Power along with regular old electrical power. The way you provide this is by building Data Centers. How a single centralized data center is able to handle computing duties for dozens of different machines located all around an island is anyone's guess, but the alternative would be needlessly complicated. Liquids don't require pumps to be transported long distances or up inclines. Steam is treated as a liquid, though it cannot be stored in storage tanks. That said, steam in a pipe doesn't lose temperature no matter how long it sits there. While this game simulates soil fertility and the game encourages you to cycle crops, as long as you supply enough fertilizer and water, you can engage in intensive farming of a monoculture like corn with no adverse effects. In real life, this would degrade the soil to the point nothing will grow without fertilizers, and the fertilizer runoff would also pollute the water table and the sea around the island.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })
