??? Australian Stem Game Design Competition 2023 (Idea)

There will be a function to stop fast progression: Shield expansion, when bought at the Araus, it gives you more to explore, any robot within the expansion radius turns into dust (like the avengers blip) and then you can explore more with better chance of good loot.

Special stellar events will only happen once you have enough sheild space.

When you have enough space, all kinds of NPC's move into your area, offering; help, quests. Etc.

The hopefulle procedurally generated town you can explore can be rebuild or mined for resources. (I might not let you rebuild it now that i think about it. Added 4/08/2023)

Side quests: Forget what I said about no survivors because there are now side quest NPC's! I have no clue what to do now...
