Aether Mine

Aether Mine

Build a little mining colony from the ground up. Attract new citizens to help you mine valuable aether from the depths of space. Defend them from hostile opponents.

Build a starting mine and start attracting merchants. To expand your colony you will need to construct housing, greenhouses, and power plants.

When you gather sufficient personnel, you can build turrets to protect merchants, upgrade your mines and weapons, and negotiate for a higher price for aether.

#### About
My goal was a mini Sim City, and this was definitely a bit too ambitious for 48 hours ;) But the basic game is here and playable and functions pretty well as an idle type game. Enjoy!

Developed using Stencyl development environment.

#### Game Tips
Merchant ships will pay a protection reward if they make it safely out of the mining zone. When you have sufficient funds and staff, build gun turrets to protect them.

Upgraded mines will attract merchants that pay a higher rate for aether.

The core can store a small amount of aether, but you'll want to build storage tanks soon. Building tanks will help increase the rate you receive money.
