Power Plant Site
The first foothold in humanity's industrial conquest of an alien world.
It is characterized by its stark contrast between natural wilderness and the sudden intrusion of high-tech industrial machinery. This area acts as the primary tutorial ground where new arrivals learn to harness the planet's energy resources. The location is dominated by the FICSIT HUB, which is fully functional from the start, while the biomass burner is a separate buildable structure that players must construct themselves, symbolizing the beginning of the corporation's mission to extract raw materials and establish a self-sustaining supply chain for Earth.

Lore & Background
Before the arrival of the FICSIT Corporation, this region was a quiet expanse of grassy plains and gentle hills. The sudden appearance of the drop pod and the subsequent construction of the HUB shattered this tranquility. The site represents the corporation's philosophy: immediate adaptation and rapid industrialization. The biomass burner, which players must build themselves, serves as both a lifeline and a promise of what is to come. As generators hum to life and conveyor belts begin their endless dance, the local wildlife scatters, and the natural landscape begins to warp under the weight of progress.
In Their Own Story
The air crackled with static as the last generator roared to life, its rhythmic thrum vibrating through the soles of my boots. I stood atop the control platform, watching the massive turbine spin into existence, casting long, shifting shadows over the alien trees below. The silence of the forest was gone, replaced by the mechanical song of progress. A single conveyor belt stretched out toward the horizon, a vein of steel pumping life into the barren earth. It was just the beginning, but as the lights flickered on across the base, I knew we had finally made our mark.
Reader's Guide
The Power Plant Site is nestled within a lush, mixed biome featuring dense pine forests and expansive wetlands. The terrain is relatively flat near the landing zone but becomes slightly more rugged towards the riverbanks. Environmental hazards are minimal initially, though players should remain cautious of the local wildlife, including aggressive creatures that may wander into the construction zones. Visually, the site blends natural greens and browns with the stark white and orange of FICSIT machinery. As industrialization progresses, the aesthetic shifts to a chaotic mix of smokestacks, conveyor belts, and storage silos cutting through the wilderness.
Did You Know?
- The Grass Fields biome is the starting area where players find the initial drop pod upon arrival, but the drop pod is present at the player's spawn point regardless of biome choice.
- Progression in the game is tied to HUB upgrade tiers, not the activation of a specific power plant.
- This area often serves as the first testing ground for complex factory designs before expansion.
- The river running through this site provides a natural source of water for early coal generator setups.
