Array - v0.1.2

Array is a space station management and colonization simulation where you build modular stations, establish planetary colonies, and oversee complex logistics across procedurally generated galaxies. Each galaxy contains up to twenty unique star systems with realistic orbital mechanics and four to nine planets per system. Every star system feels alive as its planets and moons orbit dynamically, creating a constantly shifting environment to adapt to and conquer.

You begin with a single station and expand outward by constructing modules like Habitation, Storage, Resource Drones, Solar Panels, Teleporters and Warp Drives. Each module interacts with its neighbors through a strategic adjacency bonus system that rewards smart placement with faster mining, more storage, stronger power generation and reduced resource consumption. Population growth plays a central role because construction speed scales with how many people you have and survival becomes a real challenge if resources run low.

Players can freely switch between a detailed station builder mode, a system map view and a full galaxy overview. Teleporters allow fast resource movement not only within the same system but also between star systems entirely. Warp drives let you move entire stations to new planets or new systems, opening up interstellar expansion and long-distance colonization as your network grows.

Array features a complete save system using human readable JSON, a neon styled user interface, customizable settings and an integrated music player that supports multiple audio formats. Real time power management, resource generation, starvation mechanics and modular construction all work together to create a deep but approachable simulation.

Core Features

Procedural Galaxy Generation
Galaxies contain multiple star systems with planets and moons that orbit in real time. Each system is generated with unique resources, mining difficulty and naming conventions for a handmade feel without repetition.

Modular Station Building
Place modules on a grid and design stations your way. Modules include habitation, storage, resource drones, power generation, teleporters and warp drives. Every adjacency grants a bonus that encourages efficient layouts.

Planetary Colonies
Establish colonies on planets or moons. Each colony has its own grid and can be connected into your wider network. Colonies consume resources, support population growth and can become major production hubs.

Resource and Power Simulation
Automated drones harvest materials. Solar panels generate power. Teleporters need electricity for transfers. Poor planning can lead to power shortages, stalled modules, or even population deaths from starvation.

Galaxy and System Navigation
Switch instantly between station building, system view and galaxy exploration. Zoom, pan and manage multiple stations or colonies easily.

Integrated Music Player
Supports MP3, OGG, WAV and FLAC with smooth fading and track metadata detection.

Full Save and Load Support
Everything is persistent including galaxies, stations, colonies and modules under construction.
