Plan your next Plan B: Terraform session
Our independent guide helps you master Plan B: Terraform by breaking down each core system and offering practical observations. Use these exercises to compare strategies, fine‑tune logistics and watch your planet evolve from a barren rock to a bustling world.
01 / THE GUIDE
Temperature Management
Experiment with different greenhouse gas levels and note how quickly ice becomes accessible. Compare outcomes to find the most efficient temperature rise without overshooting.
- Start by adjusting temperature before unlocking ice to ensure water flow.
- Monitor wind patterns to predict where rainfall will aid vegetation growth.
02 / THE GUIDE
Water Flow Design
Lay out multiple river paths and observe how each influences surrounding vegetation. Track which configurations yield the fastest forest expansion.
- Balance greenhouse gas output to avoid extreme temperatures.
- Use river networks to distribute moisture across dry regions.
03 / THE GUIDE
Transport Optimization
Swap trucks for trains on high‑volume routes and record changes in delivery times. Use the data to decide when to upgrade transport modes.
- Prioritize high‑capacity transport like trains for bulk resources.
- Set up loops to recycle materials and reduce bottlenecks.
04 / THE GUIDE
City Scaling
Grow a city incrementally, adding power and water infrastructure at each step. Compare population growth rates to identify bottlenecks.
- Expand power and water networks before increasing population.
- Monitor city demand to adjust supply chain capacity.
05 / THE GUIDE
Accessibility Settings
Toggle difficulty, text size and mouse‑only mode, then play a short session. Reflect on how each setting affects your comfort and performance.
- Adjust difficulty early to match your preferred challenge level.
- Enable mouse‑only mode if you prefer a simpler control scheme.
