Storyline

MAKE TRADE, NOT WAR Establish colonies on distant planets, strategically select industries, and connect them all to create a thriving interplanetary network. Align your systems perfectly and witness your settlements flourish and evolve, offering new opportunities for lucrative trade. Plan for the long haul and feel the satisfaction when that final link triggers simultaneous upgrades across six planets, delivering the income you've been striving for. There's no need to worry about military conflicts or distractions from economic growth. This is a more laid-back take on grand strategy. It's all about venturing into space and its infinite possibilities, molding the cosmos to your vision and unlocking its full potential. With so much of the universe left to explore, war simply isn't necessary. FASTER THAN LIGHT Say goodbye to tedious management and long wait times for ship construction. In Slipways, every action you take has instant impact, and every decision you make carries significant weight. Your planets operate independently while you concentrate on the big picture and ensure they get what they need. No time is wasted on tedious tasks. Each session lasts between 40 to 60 minutes, packed with meaningful and engaging gameplay. TECH IT UP A NOTCH Forget about dull, incremental upgrades. In Slipways, technologies don't just improve a building by a few percentage points—they let you relocate entire planets, tap into the power of stars, or settle worlds with self-aware machines instead of humans. The available techs change with each run, requiring careful planning and adaptability. The choices you make will dramatically alter your experience and reshape how you view the planets and resources in the game.
