Huntian: StarTrace

From the mid-21st century onward, over the next 50 to 150 years, humanity evolved into an interstellar civilization amid both conflict and cooperation between the two major powers, known as the Crimson and Azure Factions. The legendary Mars Colonization achieved such remarkable success that when the Helium Flash Crisis threatened existence, humanity achieved the impossible: They relocated Mars to Proxima Centauri, leaving Earth to dwell forever as an eternal homeland in memory.

As human civilization expanded throughout the Milky Way, evolving into what would be revered as the Galactic Tribe, an apocalyptic catastrophe emerged. In this twilight hour, humanity launched the Project Huntian: StarTrace to preserve the entirety of human legacy within colossal "Ark Motherships," and send them into the depths of the unknown...

At the edge of the known universe, the last of these Arks drifted into a binary system—a strange and sublime merging of the Solar and Proxima Centauri systems. There, the orbit of the 8th planet's satellite, disaster struck without warning. The massive ring-shaped space station, known as "Huntian," detached from the mothership, and the "Ring of Power" plunged onto the surface of the planet below...

You are the last remnant of humankind. Stranded on an untamed alien world, you can establish your home on a wild alien planet to ensure the continuation of humankind. By leveraging the remnants of the "Ring of Power," you will retrace the path of civilization, from primitive sustenance, mastering fire, and domesticating animals and plants, to utilizing steam power and new energy... Only then can you rekindle the mothership’s artificial star engine and start your journey back to the Blue Planet.

Wander through a beautiful world, race across open fields, traverse valleys and grasslands, forests and lakes. This world is filled with curiosity and delightful surprises!

"...If it weren’t for the fact that I might be the only one left, I’d say this vast, fertile, untamed planet is the perfect travel destination!" Green tips swaying in the breeze, gently rolling hills, shallow shores kissed by clear waves… From dawn till dusk, from land to stars, you can roam freely and drift into sleep bathed in the soft glow of stars and cosmic rings…

The world here is vibrant and ever-changing, teeming with a rich and exotic ecosystem full of life. Observe the behaviors of creatures, collect unique specimens, and interact with the living planet. Each discovery feels like building a connection with this world.

"...As I walk by, even the plants seem to notice and sense me. Some are shy and withdrawn, others are outgoing and lively, some even start following you around!" So full of vitality and generosity, it can’t help but remind you of our long-lost home planet buried deep in memory.

With the "Planetary Control Module," you can establish bases and reshape the very face of the planet. Manufacture, build, and harness abundant energy to light up the darkness of the alien night. At the edge of an unknown cosmos, you can craft your own world, your heartland, your Planet Joy!

Even a single corner of the planet can be shaped into millions of unique environmental combinations. Turn a canyon into a vast flower garden, where you gather morning dew at sunrise; let deserts spread, where strange white dunes swept by fierce winds may hide one of the universe's secrets; transform empty grounds into metallic forests, with arcs of electricity glowing in the depths, urging you to tread carefully…

The Past and the Future—what truly forms the foundation of civilization? It is a monument to human civilization, a pilgrimage through the ages.

“All I can do is keep exploring, using the Planetary Control Module to ‘turn over’ every landscape, searching for more fragments of our legacy. Myths and legends, cave paintings, Qin bricks and Han tiles, geocentrism, glass, semiconductors… These relics of the Mothership are our last hope. I hope enough accumulated human knowledge can make that damaged central intelligence once again uncover the secrets of wielding energy.”
