IXION is a new unique title that makes you the administrator of the Tikkun space station tasked with finding a new home for humanity. As a pioneer at the forefront of human expansion to the stars, you will be tasked with operating the space station, monitoring hull integrity, delivering resources, advancing scientific advances, and more. Keeping the ship afloat will require strategy and ingenuity, but that's not all you'll be able to do aboard the Tiqqun.
As humanity's shepherd to greener pastures, you'll also need to find stranded survivors as well as cryopods containing lost humans within space. As you complete your core job, you will need to maintain your team's trust not only in the venture, but also in the corporation that started it, DOLOS AEC. If your team turns their backs on you, you'll face bad luck or mutiny, so make sure you keep them nice!
Takeoff
IXION represents a future in which space colonization is humanity's top priority, and there are many forces - both good and evil - trying to be the ones to do so. This catastrophe is caused by global warming and climate change, which have made the Earth uninhabitable, forcing the brightest minds to look for a solution from above. Due to the destructive actions of mankind, earthlings must now rely on uncharted planets for the future of civilization.
But Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither was your space station. When you arrive aboard Tiqqun, your first task will be to create a functioning economy on the station. That means building crew quarters, setting up food supplies, and gathering the resources you need to fuel your campaign to the stars.
Luckily, advances in industrial technology have made tasks like building structures and roads extremely easy, but you still have to think carefully about where you place things. For example, you absolutely need crew quarters and a canteen, but place an Alternate Life Center in the same sector and you'll get a stability bonus that will keep your workers happy. You speed up, slow down or freeze time to think about how your space station should assemble, so take your time and do your best. The future of mankind may depend on it!
Using the innovative technology of DOLOS, you will be able to build an advanced space station where the best minds of mankind can work to create a better future. Find new ways to provide for the people of Tikkun, build new buildings and promote innovation to create new opportunities for humanity. Once you've installed the services you need to survive, you can turn your attention to space exploration.
Feel free to go…
Once you understand the basics, you can start exploring the amazing expanses of space. Zoom out on the star map and you can see the planets and moons available for exploration. Some of these celestial bodies will provide the necessary resources to continue your journey, so build and dispatch cargo ships to collect supplies.
Other times, you'll want to expand the hand of science. Send scientific expeditions to discover new secrets and threats hidden among the planets. As you explore, you will likely stumble upon other survivors that you can bring to your space station to join your survival mission. Run out of planets to explore? Expand the probe to find hidden areas and discover new planets.
It won't always go smoothly either. There are many occupational hazards that can befall you as you travel through the universe. Chassis collapse, overloaded power supplies, electrical fires, space weather, and other urgent emergencies can ruin your plans, and you need to be ready to fix them.
Destined by the stars
However, there is more to the IXION than day-to-day ship management. Keep exploring the universe and you will no doubt meet other groups of survivors from other factions who have escaped the fate of Earth. But will they be friends or enemies? This is for you to discover.
Throughout your travels, you will encounter a gripping story that will make you wonder what it means to be human as you seek salvation in the darkest depths of the unknown. New threats and opportunities will be presented, but the question of how to get to the final destination - a new home for humanity - is up to you.
If traveling the stars in search of hope for humanity's future sounds like your cup of tea (and why not?), then you can buy IXION at Steam Today. Don't wait - secure your spot on Tiqqun today.
